How Does Payment Work?

Option 1: Direct Billing

We provide direct billing for in-patient and day-patient treatment (admitted to hospital). This means that SafetyWing handles all payments directly with the hospital, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. Direct billing is available for both emergency admissions or when you have an upcoming planned procedure. To arrange direct billing, call or email the claims department.

Option 2: Pay Yourself and Submit a Claim 

You can pay out of your own pocket for your visit and then submit a claim for reimbursement online. Any claims under $750 are reimbursed within 48 hours. Claims over $750 are reimbursed within 10 to 20 days.
