Each year, the United States hosts millions of foreign visitors from all over the world.  While the United States healthcare system is recognized as one of the best in the world, many visitors are concerned about the potential out-of-pocket expenses that could result from an injury or sickness during their visit to the United States of America. Healthcare costs are different in the United States than any other country around the world. That is why foreign national visiting the United States of America require VISITORS medical insurance to protect them and their family.

That is why Community Insurance Agency Inc., in conjunction with the underwriting company Sirius International Insurance Corporation (publ)(Company), acting by and through its managing general underwriter and the Plan Administrator, International Medical Groupsm, Inc. (IMGSM) has designed the Visitors Medical Protection™ Plan (the "Plan"). It is a medical plan for travelers visiting the U.S.A.

VISIT ANY DOCTOR-ANY HOSPITAL:

You may visit any doctor in the USA or outside the USA. There is no provider network for the following plans: Visitors Medical Protection (VMP) and Patriot Travel Medical. If you are having difficulty locating a provider, IMG may be able to provide assistance. When you go to the doctor, you should present the IMG identification card. This card contains information the doctor’s office needs to bill IMG directly, and contains a toll-free number where they can call to verify the coverage etc. 

If the doctor does not accept the card, you will need to pay the doctor, and then file a claim for reimbursement by submitting your charges along with a fully completed claim form to IMG. You can either use the claim form you receive in the mail with the identification card or you can download the Claim Form from this website. IMG will process your claim usually within 2 weeks of receiving the complete information, including the claim form and the itemized bills. 

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%.
