In the end – if one is to be thorough – a buyer of insurance always has to go to the actual insurance contract. There is no other way. Somewhere down the line the contract had to be vetted by lawyers and accountants and submitted to a government agency which oversees and regulates insurance plans and coverage’s. Nothing will ruin the long weekend or even the month of administrators of any insurance firm than a letter from the “registrar “or regulatory board of any insurance industry. One has to examine that actual document.The firm may be resistant to provide it or hand it over. They may say and respond at great length (usually verbally) that such a document or paper does not exist. It has to. In the end the company will have to forward you to those insurance documents. Glossy marketing brochures and the like are no substitute for such information. Actual legal documents are the only means of determining your insurance coverage. In a pinch or negotiations the insurer will use the data and facts – why not you as well?
The key factor in terms of medical tourism and insurance coverage is that now an increasing amount of insurance companies – group plans, commercial coverage and coverage by employers are now covering overseas treatments as well as surgeries.
Read the small print of your medical insurance coverage and benefits and as well the extent to which the coverage by the medical insurance coverage covers any follow-up treatments required. A key question as well is what happens if mistakes or complications arise – what costs are covered or are not covered. Are out of pocket or additional costs covered. It is not a negative feature of the care provider chosen. Complications can arise at home, or at the best first world medical care intuitions. Why not could they not arise overseas? The major difference here is that you are far away from home – or even far away from other specialized medical care if need be.
