//FAQS
  • Can I go for treatment anywhere in the world?

    Our Global Health Options offers: Worldwide including USA, Worldwide excluding USA, we now have Close Care plan, which only covers locally and country of nationality. USA nationals have the option of just local or can pay extra for USA.

    If you choose Worldwide including USA you can receive treatment anywhere in the world. If you choose Worldwide excluding USA, you can receive treatment anywhere except in the USA. In the USA, if prior approval is obtained, but the beneficiary decides to receive treatment at a hospital, medical practitioner or clinic which is not part of the Cigna network, we will reduce any amount which we will pay by 20%. A list of International network hospitals, clinics and medical practitioners is available in your secure online Customer Area or you can contact our Customer Care Team for more information. We realise that there may be occasions when it is not reasonably possible for treatment to be provided by our global network hospital, medical practitioner or clinic. In these cases, we will not apply any reduction to the payments we will make.

  • How do I find my nearest hospital, clinic or doctor?

    Log into the online Customer Area and you can search our directory of hospitals, clinics and doctors. Simply type in your zip code, specify the distance you are willing to travel and it will list the medical experts within your area. Alternatively, call our Customer Care Team. Please remember to take your Cigna ID card with you when you go for treatment and ask your hospital, medical practitioner or clinic about direct billing if this has not already been confirmed. Where possible, we will arrange to pay the hospital, clinic or doctor you wish to see directly.

  • Do I need to pay for treatment upfront?

    Where possible we will arrange to pay your hospital, clinic or doctor directly. However, if you have chosen a deductible and/or cost share, you must pay this amount yourself.

  • How do I submit a claim?

    If you’ve paid for your treatment yourself, you can send your invoice and claim form to us using any of the following methods.

    Please clearly state your policy number on all documentation

  • What currency will my claim be reimbursed in, and how long will it take?

    We aim to reimburse you within five working days of receiving your fully completed paperwork, and can pay you in the currency of your choice (you can choose to be reimbursed in more than 135 currencies)

  • How do deductibles work?

    When you create your tailored plan, you have the option of adding deductibles. If, for example, you choose a deductible of $250, you'll need to pay the first $250 of a covered claim or covered claims in any period of cover directly to your hospital, clinic or doctor at the time of treatment. So if your treatment costs are $500, you'll need to pay $250, and we'll pay the remaining $250 of covered costs. If a deductible is chosen, you would only have to pay this once during any period of cover irrespective of the number of claims.

  • What is cost share and out of pocket maximum?

    Cost share is the percentage of every claim you will pay. Out of pocket maximum is the maximum amount you would have to pay in cost share per policy year. For example :

    >You have a claim value of $20,000. You have a $500 deductible on your policy. You have a 20% cost share with a $2,000 out of pocket maximum. We would pay $17,500

    How this is calculated:

    >After you paid your deductible of $500, your cost share is 20% of $19,500 ($3,900). This is more than your out of pocket maximum, so you would only pay $2,000 out of pocket maximum for the cost share (and the $500 deductible you paid at the outset) and we cover the remaining $17,500

  • Will pre-existing conditions be covered by my plan?

    If you've sought advice or experienced symptoms before the start date of your plan - whether you have been diagnosed or not - we may decide to add special exclusions to your plan. So it's important that you complete the medical questionnaire as accurately as possible when applying.

  • Am I covered for dental treatment?

  • Am I covered for inpatient treatment?

    Yes, you are. Inpatient treatment is included as standard within our core International Medical Insurance. It covers you for treatment received as an inpatient when staying overnight in hospital, or when receiving treatment at hospital as a day case

  • Am I covered for outpatient treatment?

    International Medical Insurance covers you for selected outpatient costs such as treatment room fees, surgeon and anaesthetic costs, advanced imaging, cancer and mental health care.

    However, the International Outpatient module covers you more comprehensively for outpatient care and medical emergencies that may arise where a hospital admission as a day patient or inpatient is not required.
