- Please note that if you do not call the Assistance Centre in a medical emergency and prior to receiving treatment, you will have to pay 20% of the eligible medical expenses we would normally pay under this policy (20% co-insurance). If it is medically impossible for you to call when the emergency happens, we ask that someone call on your behalf as soon as possible.
For all other insurance coverage, you must call our Assistance Centre within forty-eight (48) hours of the cause of your claim. - Do not assume that someone will contact the Assistance Centre for you. It is your responsibility to verify that the Assistance Centre has been contacted. If you choose to pay eligible expenses directly to a health service provider without prior approval by the Assistance Centre, eligible expenses will be reimbursed to you based on the reasonable and customary charges that we would have paid directly to such provider. Medical charges that you
pay may be higher than this amount. Therefore, you will be responsible for any difference between the amount you paid and the reasonable and customary charges reimbursed by us.
