Why Consider Travel Insurance?
Exploring the Grand Canal in Venice by gondola, discovering the breathtaking lakes of Ticino in Switzerland from the foothills of the Alps, taking in the opera at Prague’s prestigious National Theatre, admiring some of the greatest masterpieces in the world at the Louvre in Paris, or sending family members on an adventurous vacation backpacking through Europe - whatever your travel destination, you expect and deserve first-class protection and service. But what would happen if you or one of your family members became ill or injured while away from home? International travel can quickly turn frightening if you’re not prepared for a medical emergency.

Most travelers assume they will be covered by their standard medical plan. The truth is, while traditional plans may offer adequate domestic coverage, they are not designed for international travel. Without even realizing it, you may be putting your health - and that of your family - at risk.

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 Platinum Travel Medical Insurancesm plans to provide you and your family superior protection so you can spend more time enjoying your international experience, and less time worrying about your medical security.

Additionally, the plan offers enhanced benefits and services to meet your global needs. You can choose from an extensive range of deductibles and Maximum Limits, you have exclusive access to our Global Concierge and Assistance Servicessm, and you have access to more than 17,000 providers when seeking treatment outside the U.S. using our International Provider Accesssm (IPA). You can also reduce your out-of-pocket costs when seeking treatment in the U.S. by locating providers through the independent Preferred Provider Organization.

ELIGIBILITY
The following conditions apply to all persons applying for and/or enrolling in Patriot Platinum Travel Medical Insurance.
  • Patriot Platinum Travel Medical Insurance is travel insurance for U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States with coverage for brief returns to the U.S., and for non-U.S. citizens traveling outside their home country.
  • For those under 65 years of age and visiting the U.S., your initial Period of Coverage must begin within six months of arrival in the U.S. For those 65 years of age and older, it must begin within 30 days of arrival. These requirements will be waived with proof of previous valid international travel insurance. Prior U.S. domestic health care coverage does not meet this eligibility requirement. Please provide the name of your international insurance carrier on the Application Form. If you are not in the U.S. at the time of application, please indicate your expected date of arrival on your Application Form.

RENEWAL OF COVERAGE
If your Patriot Platinum plan is purchased for a minimum of three months, coverage may be renewed (without break in coverage) for a total of up to three years. Renewals are available in whole month or daily increments and may be completed online or by using a paper application, however, renewals of less than one month are available only online. For each renewal of less than one month completed online, you will be charged an additional $5 processing fee. Each insured person must only satisfy one deductible and coinsurance within each 12 month coverage period. Please note: Renewal rates may differ from initial rates.

QUALITY GUARANTEE
Your satisfaction is very important to IMG and the plan underwriter. If you are not pleased with this product for any reason, you may submit a written request, prior to your effective date, for cancellation and refund of your premium. If you do not have any claims filed with IMG, you may cancel your plan after your effective date, however, the following conditions will apply: 1) you will be required to pay a $50 cancellation fee and 2) only full month premiums will be considered for refunds (e.g., if you choose to cancel your coverage two months and two weeks prior to the date your coverage ends, IMG will only consider the two full months for a refund). If you have filed claims, your premium is non-refundable.

CLAIMS PROCEDURE
PRECERTIFICATION
Each proposed hospital admission, in-patient or out-patient surgery, and other procedures as noted in the Certificate Wording must be Precertified for medical necessity, which means the insured person or their attending physician must call the number listed on the IMG Identification Card prior to admittance to a hospital or performance of a surgery. In case of an Emergency Admission, the Precertification call must be made within 48 hours of the admission, or as soon as reasonably possible. If a hospital admission or a surgery is not Precertified, eligible claims and expenses will be reduced by 50%. It is important to note that Precertification is only a determination of medical necessity, not an assurance of coverage, verification of benefits or a guarantee of payment. All medical expenses must meet usual, reasonable, customary, and eligible payment guidelines. Please refer to the Certificate Wording for full details of the Precertification requirements.

For Precertification, emergency evacuation, and return of mortal remains, please call: IMG in the U.S.: 1.800.628.4664 (toll free) or 1.317.655.4500. Call IMG outside the U.S.: 001.317.655.4500 (collect if necessary). This information will also be provided on your ID card.

Note: An insured person may begin the Precertification process through MyIMG or the Client Resources section of our website. Simply look for the Precertification option. You will be asked to provide information, which can then be submitted electronically to IMG. Once we have confirmed receipt of your request, our utilization management and review team will review the information provided and respond to the insured person or the provider within 2 business days. Please note that this online service will only initiate the precertification process, and it should not be used to Precertify emergency admissions, procedures, or evacuations.

CLAIM PAYMENT
All benefits payable under Patriot Platinum Travel Medical Insurance are subject to the provisions described in this brochure and as contained in the Certificate Wording and certificate of coverage. To make claim processing efficient, claims may be paid in two ways.
  1. Eligible claims that have been paid by or on behalf of the Insured Person will be reimbursed by check directly to the Insured Person.
  2. Eligible claims that have not yet been paid by the Insured Person will, at the option of IMG, be paid either to the Insured Person or directly to the provider.

Please mail completed claim forms to International Medical Group, P.O. Box 88500, Indianapolis, IN 46208-0500 USA. All IMG contact numbers, claim forms and Certificate Wordings will be included in the fulfillment kit. IMG may also be contacted by fax: 1.317.655.4505
