If for any reason Universal Life will not be in a position to pre authorise the direct settlement of the medical expenses we will ask you to settle all outstanding invoices and submit a claim form fully completed and signed as well as all relevant receipts to us for evaluation.
In case of invoices for out-patient treatment, please pay all expenses and submit a claim form fully completed and signed by you and your doctor, as well as payment receipts.
Outside Cyprus we may be able to arrange direct settlement with hospitals outside our network if you ask us before receiving treatment. You must contact us at least 10 days before admission.
Failure to advise us at least 10 days in advance of any daycare or in-patient treatment may mean we are unable to make any direct settlement arrangements on your behalf. We will advise you of whether direct settlement is possible and how much and for how long we will be able to pay for treatment. It is your responsibility to ensure that pre approval has been received before undergoing planned treatment.
