Schengen Visa Insurance

Question:

I'm interested in getting a medical insurance. My trip is scheduled for October 3rd, 2017 through October 18th, 2017. Destination is France + other Schengen states (TBD). After perusing your website, I'm interested in getting the "Liaison International" plan with the $0 deductible. My question is after I looked at the sample ID card and Visa Letter, it does not mention anywhere about paying directly the providers in the Schengen countries. The info from the consulate is quoted below: "Please check carefully whether your medical insurance will pay directly the providers in the Schengen countries for emergency medical expenses, emergency hospitalization and repatriation for medical reasons or death. Many US medical insurance companies reimburse the costs of emergency medical treatment abroad but do not pay directly the providers. These policies will not be accepted as proof of medical insurance. We invite you to have a letter from your insurer indicating that payments will be made directly to the provider (Schengen States or worldwide)." Can you provide letter stating that the policy pays the providers directly?
