Filing Claims
Filing claims are a little bit like tax filing in your business. It's not fun but it has to be done. We explain in quick steps what to do.
π Ask for itemized receipts
It is important to keep the process of your treatment as transparent as possible. To claim your expenses, make sure you receive a detailed invoice.
π Submit your claim form
When you subscribed for health insurance you received either login details to your online profile of the health insurance provider, an email address, and/or a telephone number. Either via an online profile or via email, you need to send your claim including bills, receipts, and other documents to your health insurance provider to start the process.
βοΈ Report immediately
To receive the best care, and get the administrative process rolling, you must report the illness or the accident as soon as possible. You can most likely do this via phone call. Make sure to provide all relevant information.
π©π½ββοΈ Wave the physician-patient-privilege
By releasing the treating physician from the physician-patient privilege, the insurance provider can gather the necessary information.
