To get reimbursed for covered benefits, you may need to file a claim with the policy administrator by following these steps below:

1

Log into your VisitorsCoverage customer account to find your insurance administrator’s contact information and claims forms.

2

Gather necessary documents such as copies of your passport, medical bills and receipts.

3

Fill out and submit the claim form and additional documents to your insurance administrator. File a claim each time you use your policy, regardless of whether you paid upfront or not.

4

The insurance administrator will review the claim, which can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months. You can check the status of your claim by logging into your insurance administrator’s account.

5

If your claim is approved, you'll be reimbursed via the payment method selected on your form. If your claim is denied, review the Explanation of Benefits (found in your insurance administrator account) to determine if there is any missing information needed to review your claims.

6

If their review is complete and you disagree with the outcome, you'll have the option to appeal.
