Payment of medical expenses is handled differently depending on circumstances and preference of medical providers. In many cases you will be expected to pay the provider first and then submit a claim to the Claims Administrator for reimbursement of covered expenses. If you are admitted to the hospital or have other extreme circumstances, you may be able to authorize payment of medical benefits directly to the provider. Upfront payment guarantees direct to providers, Emergency Medical Evacuation/Repatriation (and similar transport services), Trip Interruption, Emergency Family Travel must be arranged by the Travel Assistance Services provider, AXA Assistance (toll-free phone or direct phone or email).

Assistance Services are provided by AXA Assistance, 24 hours/day. In the event of emergency, call 1-888-647-4294 toll free or direct (or collect) dial 1-630-766-7690.

Participants are advised to take a credit card abroad or maintain readily accessible emergency funds in the event that they need to make on-site payment for any medical expenses.
