Refund

What is reimbursement for medical appointments?
The reimbursement system works as follows: the member, that is, the patient, chooses the reliable service. This does not need to belong to any accredited network. After the service, the patient pays for the consultation and after sending the receipt, within a maximum period of 30 days, the insurer must refund you according to your contract.

What is the advantage of using this benefit?
What is the advantage of using this benefit? Reimbursement is the best way to use your plan: you choose your doctor, your hospital, and your trusted lab. There are no intermediaries between you and your doctor, thus giving you better service.

Am I entitled to medical reimbursement?
Most health insurers and insurance companies offer medical reimbursement benefits. The easiest way to find out is to call the insurance company and ask if you have this right. You can also consult the manual or the contract signed with the operator.

How do I know the amount I am entitled to be refunded?
Most insurance plans have a fixed reimbursement table for each plan, which the user is entitled to know. It is the amount of the prior refund. Depending on the amount that will be charged and your contract with the insurer, the reimbursement may be a percentage or even correspond to the total amount charged by the treatment. Reimbursement is a right that must be used and taken advantage of when available.

What is the deadline for me to be refunded?
Reimbursement must be completed by the health plan operator within 30 days, after the presentation of the documentation.

Is it difficult to use medical reimbursement?
No. The doctor makes the receipt and this must be sent to the operator. It’s that simple. In a few days, the insurer deposits the benefit into the insured's account.

Is it possible to perform surgical procedures for reimbursement?
Yes. To find out the reimbursement amount for a specific surgical procedure, the doctor must send a report called “Prior to Reimbursement” to the agreement with the justification for the procedure and the amounts to be charged. The agreement responds with the amount to be reimbursed for the given procedure. At the end of the procedure, the doctor will issue a receipt and, by sending it to the insurance company, the patient may be reimbursed for part or all of the amount paid in the procedure.
