Question:

I am looking at purchasing Patriot International which is underwritten by Sirius Specialty Insurance Corporation. This is a policy maximum of 50,000. I am looking at purchasing a 6 month policy starting in August of this year. If I cancel this insurance on July 1st of this year (and before departing) do I get the full refund of the 758.25 that was quoted?Second question: do I pay the medical expenses first and file for reimbursement if I have a claim?Third question: do I need to contact the insurance company before I get medical treatment (if I am unlucky enough to have to file a claim)?

Answer:

The Patriot International plan is fully refundable before the effective date of the policy. After the policy has started it is prorated refund minus a cancellation fee of $25 provided no claims have been filed since the effective date of the policy. 

Billing is always determined by the provider as there is not a concept of a PPO network or any contractual obligation. It will be up to the provider to determine if they would like to have you pay out of pocket for services and file a claim for reimbursement or if they want to bill directly. They are capable of both.

There are certain services listed in the certificate that would require pre-certification which are spelled out in the certificate wording of the plan that you are free to review.
