Question:

Insurance Claim denied - HCC Hi, I bought travel insurance through your website when my mother visited us here in the US. During her stay, i had to take her to urgent care for knee pain. The urgent care billed the insurance company directly, but later i was informed that the insurance company had denied the claim because they are requesting information from me directly. (I dont understand why i have to file the claim personally when the service provider was in PPO network). Now, i have been trying to contact the insurance company directly and all i get is a waiting line which can goes on until an hour without anyone responding. I have tried calling them many times now, and appreciate if you guys can help me with my insurance claim. Insurance Plan - Atlas America Let me know if you need any more information. Regards Mohammed

Answer:

From what you have written, it does not look your claim is denied but it is pending for more information. Even though you went to the provider in the PPO network and they billed directly, you still have to fill the claimant statement. Please read /what-is-visitors-insurance/ for further information. Please download the form from /travel-and-student-insurance-claims/claimants-statement-and-authorization-form.pdf, complete it and send it to the address given in that form. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
