Nationwide PPO Network:
Click here to ACCESS THE PPO DIRECTORY
You may seek treatment under
Patriot Travel Medical Insurance Plan worldwide, including in the United States, with the hospital or doctor of your choice. When seeking treatment in the U.S., you may use the independent Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) contracted by IMG,
a separately organized network (First Health Group) of approximately 500,000
physicians and 4,700 privately owned and operated hospitals. * This PPO
network includes a large number of hospitals including some of the most well
recognized university medical centers and transplant facilities.
Using this provider network
could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
When a U.S. hospital outside the network is used,
a co-payment of US $250 is required in addition to the regular deductible and
coinsurance. This co-payment is waived, however, if there is not a network
provider within 50 miles of the location of treatment.
Each proposed hospital admission, inpatient or outpatient surgery, and
certain other medical procedures must be Pre-certified for medical necessity.
This means the insured person or their attending physician must call the
number listed on the IMG identification card prior to admittance to a
hospital or performance of a surgery, or medical procedure. In the case of an
emergency hospital admission, the Pre-certification call must be made within
48 hours of the admission, or as soon as reasonably possible. For a complete
list of procedures requiring Pre-certification, please refer to your
certificate wording.
If Pre-certification guidelines are not followed,
eligible claims and expenses will be reduced by 50%.
