Understanding Pre-Notification

Pre-notification is not a guarantee of payment.
For outside the U.S. or Out-of-Network providers in the U.S., you are responsible for ensuring the pre-notification process is completed at least five days before a planned hospitalization, or within 48 hours of admission due to an accident or emergency illness.
You can pre-certify by email at [email protected].
Services requiring prenotification are: (1) Inpatient Hospitalization (2) Emergency Medical Evacuation (3) Extended Care Facility, Home Nursing Care, Hospice Care (4) Interfacility Ambulance Transfer (5) Surgery or Surgical procedure
GNI Team Q & A
Question: What happens if I need to seek medical treatment on the weekend or late at night and World Trips’ office is closed?

World Trips has medical professionals on call 24/7 to assist you in the case of a medical emergency. You may have to leave a message including a phone number where you are available.

Question – What must I do before a hospital admission or surgery?
Answer – Pre-notification is required for hospital admissions, hospital interfacility transfers, and all surgeries. Prior to receiving treatment, you or a medical provider need to contact World Trips to Pre-notify your treatment. If it is an emergency, pre-notification can be completed 48 hours after admission. This can be done by email at [email protected].
GNI Team Tidbits
Medical treatments which are considered to be elective (not medically necessary) will not be covered.
The treatment proposed must adhere to the standards of care generally recognized as being appropriate to the injury or condition being treated.
Some treatments, even though they may be medically necessary, might not be covered because of policy exclusions.
GNI Team Final Thoughts
Pre-notification may be initiated by you, your representative, or your medical provider online by phone or email. Medical professionals at World Trips will review the planned medical services to ensure that it follows accepted medical standards and are medically necessary.

Understanding Claims
Understanding Claims
To submit a claim, log into your Member Portal account and click on “submit new claim”. Be ready to upload your itemized receipts and invoices. You can also e-mail a completed claim form along with required documents (medical records, invoices, etc.) to [email protected]. You can download WORLD TRIPS’s Claim Form here: https://worldtrips.com/downloads/hccmis_claimants_statement.pdf
Multiple claims can be submitted on the same claim form if they are for the same incident. For example, if you have a broken arm and there are claims for x-rays, physical therapy, and follow–up visits they can all be submitted on one claim form. If treatment won’t be completed within 90 days, please submit initial claims when they occur. Then subsequent claims may be submitted later.
Once the claim is approved, the claim is sent to accounting which issues payment whether by check, ACH or wire transfer. Wire transfers can take up to 7 – 10 business days to be seen in your account, depending on the bank. When checks are requested, please allow the normal mailing time to your location. Mailing checks overseas is not recommended. If not received within a week of that, let us know, so we can have WORLD TRIPS arrange to cancel the check and issue a new one.
GNI Team Q & A
Question: What kind of missing information may cause a claim to be delayed?
World Trips requires that receipts/invoices be itemized. It should include the name of the patient, date of service, and a breakdown of all the related charges.
If you are filing for reimbursement, the invoice should indicate that payment was received by the provider.
Question: Am I required to complete a World Trips Claim Form every time I go to the doctor?
Answer: The Claims department encourages all insureds to complete a Claim Form for each new onset of an illness or injury for care received outside the U.S. (in the U.S. you may need to send in a claim form if you are using out-of-network providers and / or you paid for your medical visit like an urgent care. However, in the U.S., your medical provider should be sending in claim forms to WORLD TRIPS)
All claims should be submitted within 90 days of occurrence. (Late submissions could result in the claim being denied.)
If you fail to submit a Claim Form (online or paper) or additional information is requested, you will see in your Member Portal, that the Explanation of Benefits shows that the claim has been denied. There will be a CODE given that will explain what is missing and why the claim was denied. This will, of course, result in delay of reimbursement for eligible medical expenses.
Question – Should I submit my original itemized bills and receipts as soon as I receive them?
Answer – Yes! Do not hold them until the end of the year. WORLD TRIPS will apply eligible medical expenses to your deductible and coinsurance throughout the year.
GNI Team Tidbits
As your claim is being processed, it may disappear from your Member Portal for a few hours to a couple of days, when it changes from being “Submitted” to being “Processed.” When it reappears, it will have a different reference number. Usually, claims will process within 30 business days or about 6 weeks (holidays and week-ends don’t count) from the time of receipt. In the fall and at the end of the year, it can take longer, due to the high volume of claims received at those times of the year.
Once the claim has processed, there will be an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) available to view in your Member Portal.
GNI Team Final Thought
Claims should be submitted within 90 days of the service date / date on the invoice. Claims submitted later may be denied.

Using your Global (Outside the U.S.) Medical Network
Medical Care Abroad
Options for direct billing: If you search providers through https://worldtrips.com/find-a-doctor, you can find hospitals that may be able to directly bill World Trips for claims. Please allow time (usually about 2 weeks) for these providers to pre-notify and get a Guarantee of Payment letter from World Trips. Please remember: prenotification must be completed at least 5 days prior to the procedure.
Hospitalizations need to be pre-notified to receive full benefits. You will be responsible for any portion of your deductible not yet met. World Trips can make direct payment arrangements with providers who don’t have a yellow star next to their name, if the provider is willing to supply all the information required by World Trips for them to issue a Guarantee of Payment letter.
For smaller amounts, you will pay for your care out of pocket and then submit the claim for either reimbursement, or to go towards satisfying your deductible. Some hospitals will require upfront payment, so you will need to submit a claim for reimbursement afterwards. Keep in mind all hospitalizations must be pre-certified to receive full benefits. Lack of pre-notification, will likely result in a 50% reduction of payment for eligible benefits
