Patriot Executive
Medical insurance for traveling executives
|
|
As an executive who travels frequently throughout the year, you have plenty of responsibilities. You don't want to think about your medical coverage while you're abroad. But what would happen if you became ill or injured during your trip?
Most executives assume they will be covered by their standard medical plan. The truth is, while traditional plans offer adequate domestic coverage, they are not designed for international travel.
You have enough to worry about when you're traveling. Don't let your medical coverage be an uncertainty. International Medical Group® (IMG®) has developed two Patriot Executive® plans to provide you Coverage Without Boundaries®. Each plan offers a complete package of international benefits available 24 hours a day. Simply select the one that best fits your needs.
Patriot Executive International is an annual plan for U.S. citizens that provides coverage for an executive, his or her spouse and/or children traveling together for a period of one year. You are then covered during that year, in accordance with the terms of the plan, for each trip you take together outside your home country.
Patriot Executive America is an annual plan for non-U.S. citizens that provides coverage for an executive, his or her spouse and/or children traveling together for a period of one year. You are then covered during that year, in accordance with the terms of the plan, for each trip you take together outside your home country.
At IMG, we know that the reasons to travel abroad are many and varied - that's why our services are designed to provide you with the security you need no matter where you are. Our goal is to make the medical process smooth and efficient. By providing global products and services to vacationers, those working or living abroad for short or extended periods, people traveling frequently between countries, and those who maintain multiple countries of residence, IMG is the single resource for all your international travel needs.
How we service and support your needs is what sets us apart. Since 1990, we've served more than a million people around the globe - always focused on the specific needs of each individual. We've set the benchmark for industry service levels by integrating independent credentialing services with in-house, fully owned and operated service divisions. At IMG, we're with you, wherever you go - bringing support for all your insurance needs around the globe - providing you Global Peace of Mind®.
MyIMG is our proprietary online service that lets you access a wealth of information and manage routine areas of your account 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world. You can check the status of your claims submissions, retrieve explanation of benefits, obtain certificate documents, initiate precertification and access a list of physicians within the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) as well as through the International Provider AccessSM (IPA), a database of over 16,000 providers outside the United States!
With the Patriot Executive plan, you may seek treatment with the hospital or doctor of your choice. When seeking treatment in the U.S., you can reduce your out-of-pocket costs by using the independent PPO, a separately organized network of hundreds of thousands of established, highly qualified health care physicians and many well-recognized hospitals in the U.S. contracted by IMG.
IMG also provides its International Provider Access (IPA) database online that can be used to locate health care providers outside the U.S. as needed.
(Note: Use of this service is subject to the terms and conditions specified online. These terms must be agreed to prior to using the service.) You may access these services at
provider directory
).
The ability to access quality health care is of paramount importance when a medical emergency arises abroad. To
coordinate care and provide U.S. and internationally based medical management services, IMG formed ACM, a URAC accredited, on-site specialized division devoted entirely to medical management. ACM's clinical members are experts at assessing the need for services and ensuring those services are delivered in a timely, cost-effective manner.
From routine medical care to complex case management, from check-ups to emergency medical evacuations, ACM is there for you. They are committed to consumer protection and empowerment, quality operations and regulatory compliance. This translates into better
care for you - around the world, around the clock.

Please review the Precertification pamphlet and the certificate wording enclosed with each fulfillment kit. All medical expenses must meet usual, reasonable, customary, and eligible payment guidelines.
Note: You may begin the precertification process through MyIMG or the Current Clients section of our IMG's website.

procedures or evacuations.
