Travel Medical Insurance

Question:

Hi - We had purchased Travel Insurance through InsuBuy for my mother. Policy name " Safe Travels USA Comprehensive ", this insurance uses First Health PPO Network. We found list of urgent cares on their website such as "access medical associates, branchburg ", AFC urgent care Bound brook New Jersey. Both of these urgent care's were listed as In-network urgent care for First Health PPO Network, however they refused the traveler medical insurance. Why In-Network Urgent cares are not accepting Traveler medical insurance ? What should patient do in this case ? Should we pay and then file for reimbursement

Answer:

Direct billing and in network are two different things.

A provider can be in network and not accept the insurance.  It is up to the provider if they want to direct bill the insurance company or have you pay up front and file the claim yourself.

If you do pay up front, you would access the claim forms through My Account on the Insubuy website.

If the provider has left the network you would either have the non-negotiated rates and need to meet the deductible first or go to a different provider.  You can ask providers over the phone if they are in network as you would always want to confirm as providers can come and go from a network throughout the year and you can also ask them if they direct bill as well.

If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
