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.
The out of network claims process for international medical insurance is handled two different ways, either the providers bill directly, or you pay out of your pocket first and then file for reimbursement.
When you go to the providers outside the network, you can present the insurance card. The insurance card has all the information the provider's office will need to bill the insurance company directly such as the certificate number, claims filing address in the U.S., and toll-free number to call and verify the coverage.
It still depends upon the provider whether to bill the insurance company directly or not. Even if the provider accepts the card, there is no network negotiated fee. If you have to first pay, you can get reimbursement by filing a Claim Form. You can either use the claim form you receive in the mail along with the insurance card or you can download it from MyAccount.
As described in the previous FAQ, when you go to the provider out of the network, the provider may not recognize the insurance, and you may have to first pay out of your pocket and file for reimbursement. There are no network negotiated fees.
No. When you go to the hospital, you get a bill from the hospital. Several service providers who work there such as the doctor, radiologist for x-ray, anesthetist etc. generally do not work for the hospital, but they work independently there. It is an unfortunate fact of the U.S. healthcare system or the fault of the hospital that some of those providers do not participate in a PPO network, even if the hospital itself participates in a PPO network. If any of the providers are out of network, the claim will be processed as out of the network.
Unfortunately, you don't always have control over who provides you service in the hospital. The best thing you can do is ask each service provider whether they are in the network or not. But you may not always have that choice. In any case, out of network benefits would be applied in case any provider happens not to be participating in the network.
Soon after you buy the insurance, but before some emergency happens, it is best to search the providers in the PPO network and remember a few hospitals in your area or take a print out. If you have a choice (and sometimes even the emergency paramedics or ambulance people give you that choice, if medically appropriate), you can direct which facility to go to.
If you are traveling to various places, it might be wise to search for the hospitals within the PPO network in those cities or areas in advance and keep the list handy.
However, you don't always have that kind of choice and you should always give the highest priority to the health of the person and use your own judgment. In any case, if you incur expenses outside the PPO network, they would be processed as out of network.
Most of the visitors insurance plans participate in the PPO network that have a good number of providers all across the country. As visitors are expected to travel to various places, it would not be practical to have a PPO network that is restricted only to a certain area. You generally don't have to worry about being able to find the provider within the PPO network.
If you go to the providers outside the network, you are still covered according to the terms of the policy. In some cases, out of network coverage is less than in-network coverage. However, the difference is not huge in most cases.
Most insurance plans that use a PPO network will have some way to indicate that on the insurance card. If it does not specify, then you can always look the information up in MyAccount. If the plan uses a PPO network, you'll be able to look up providers that are in the PPO network; if the plan does not have a PPO network, it will tell you that you're able to visit any provider you choose.
