What to do next
1
Confirm your personal eligibility
The network is published at product level. Your certificate, benefit tier and waiting periods still apply — confirm them with your insurer.
2
Request pre-authorisation early
For planned inpatient treatment, insurers issue a guarantee of payment to the hospital before admission. Start this 2–4 weeks ahead.
3
Let us coordinate the direct-billing desk
We liaise with the hospital's international office so the billing arrangement is confirmed in writing before you travel.
Based on public evidence as of 2026-08-03 (release R295). This is research information, not insurance advice, a payment guarantee or a contract interpretation. Eligibility, covered area, pre-authorisation, GOP, direct billing and payout always depend on your current policy and final confirmation by your insurer and the hospital.
