The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)—which was developed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) created by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB—is an extensive set of technical and operational standards that a company needs to follow to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
There are many stringent requirements, including but not limited to:
PCI DSS has six major objectives, 12 key requirements, 78 base requirements, and over 400 test procedures. Click here for more information.
When a business is PCI-compliant, it means that that the business reviews and follows the guidelines set forth by the credit card companies to help ensure your credit card information is protected and your personal information is secure.
Helping our customers for claims denial As a broker, we work for our customers, not for the insurance companies. We all the time help our customers in case they are having trouble with the claims. That is misunderstood by some people. We help our customers if they are having some trouble with claim such as paper being missed, miscommunication, confusion, misunderstanding between customer and insurance company, and of course, if it is not clear whether something was pre-existing conditions or not or if we feel that the condition may not be pre-existing. That does NOT mean that we would help all our customers getting their claims approved no matter what the problem is. I just talked with a lady earlier today. His father in law had a history of heart disease and had angioplasty perforemed before. Even though I don't know all the medical details, from what she described over the phone, he got chest pain, essentially, recurrence of heart disease. That is very clearly pre-existing condition and insurance company correctly declined the claim. Now she wanted me to help her appealing the denial and was arguing that we claim we help our customers with the claims. As I already know that her father-in-law had previous heart disease, there are no further arguments I can provide to the insurance company that would justify the potential reversal of the claims. I thought I would post this message so that customers can get realistic idea of how exactly it works.
This has been my experience with visitors insurance and the help I received. I had purchased IMG visitors insurance for my parents. Unfortunately, during my parents visit to US, my mom had to be admitted into hospital for 3 days. I followed all the protocols of the insurance company, by informing them as soon as my mom was taken to ER and then admitted into the hospital. I gave all the insurance details to the hospital and various doctors office. The bill for 3 days had come to approximately $15000. After filing all the claim forms, along with all the reports from the hospital, the insurance company rejected my claim. I then contacted the Insubuy manager and informed him of the situation. I also forwarded him the details of the claim. He helped me in this situation and he spoke to the representatives of the IMG insurance company. Finally my claim was approved and paid. I would like to thank you for helping out in this difficult situation. Since, then I have been buying all my visitors insurance (parents, in-laws, sisters, etc..) through Insubuy. His service is very prompt and always willing to answer any question you may have. I would recommend him to anyone. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
