2. Collect and Complete Required Documents

To process a claim the insurance company (Allianz Global Assistance) needs:

1. A fully completed International Student Medical Expense Claim Form,
2. A copy of itemized medical bills and receipts for expenses being claims, and
3. Information about the reason for seeking medical services, the consultation results* (diagnosis), and about any further medical services ordered by the attending physician.

The “Medical Information” section of the Claim Form is where you describe the reason for needing medical services, including your primary symptoms and the diagnosis given to you by the attending doctor.

*AGA sometimes requires medical records, such as the attending doctor’s notes to process a claim. So, before leaving from any doctor office, emergency room, or hospital, ask for a copy of your “patient chart” (also referred to as a health record) so that you can include that medical information with your claim form.

Please note: Claims for medical expenses that you have already paid should be submitted separately to claims you want to submit for unpaid medical bills that you want the insurance company to pay direct to the medical provider.

IMPORTANT TIP!
If you have a Study Permit, carry a photocopy of it with you, or keep a picture of it on your phone or other mobile device. If you need treatment at a hospital or emergency room, show the copy of your study permit because doing that may qualify you for much lower rates.
