How to claim travel insurance

If you have had an accident or have fallen sick due to climatic conditions, you may need to use your travel insurance.

You can get benefits such as quick treatment or emergency evacuation to the home country.

Intimate your insurer about the situation through offered missed call facilities or toll-free numbers or an email.

If the claim is acceptable under the policy, the insurer can look for facilitating cashless treatment overseas which would lead to insured not being put under financial duress.

Keep all your prescriptions, reports and payment receipts safe; provide them as defined in the claim procedure, in case of reimbursement.

 Ensure that all these documents are duly signed, dated and stamped.

In case of any accidental situation and third party involvement, you will need to submit a copy of the police report as well.

Take consent from your insurer in case of emergency evacuation, after you have a fit-to-fly consent from the treating facility overseas, for a smooth evacuation to the country of origin.
