Assist-365's model prioritizes paying the medical provider directly, but there are situations where the traveler pays out of pocket and later requests reimbursement — for example, when no in-network provider is available at that time and place, or during an emergency where notifying them beforehand wasn't possible.
As with any travel insurer, the reimbursement process depends on submitting complete documentation to support the expense. Here's the general process and the documents typically required.
When a reimbursement applies
- You paid extra because no in-network provider was available at your location.
- You received emergency care without being able to contact the assistance center beforehand.
- You bought prescribed medication related to a covered emergency.
Documents typically required
- Detailed invoice or receipt for the medical expense.
- Medical record or report from the care received.
- Proof of payment (voucher, receipt, or similar).
- Reimbursement claim form, completed as requested by the insurer.
- Policy or certificate number valid at the time of the incident.
General process
Once the expense is reported and documentation gathered, the claim form and supporting documents are submitted through Assist-365's digital channels (app or WhatsApp). The insurer reviews the case against the plan's coverage and resolves the reimbursement, with the exact timeline varying based on case complexity.
Tips to speed up your reimbursement
Keeping every receipt from the start, reporting the expense as soon as possible, and submitting complete documentation in a single batch all help reduce the wait time for a reimbursement.
