The Patriot International Lite, America Plus, and Platinum plans do not provide coverage for routine or preventative care, like dental or vision exams. However, the plans provide coverage for dental treatment due to a covered accident or unexpected pain up to a $300 limit, as well as coverage up to the maximum limit for treatment due to a traumatic dental injury. The Patriot plans also include coverage for an emergency eye exam up to a $150 maximum limit for loss or damage to prescription corrective lenses due to a covered accident.What does URC mean?
URC stands for the Usual, Reasonable, and Customary amount. This amount is the average cost of a specific treatment or prescription in a specific geographic area. For example, if a particular procedure costs $5,000 on average in New York City, the insurance company will not pay your provider in New York City $10,000 for the same exact procedure. Instead, they will limit their payment to "Usual Reasonable and Customary" — in this example, $5,000 and you’d be responsible for paying the remaining amount.What is pre-certification?
Pre-certification is when you contact the insurance company prior to getting treatment for a specific procedure. Pre-certification must take place within forty-eight (48) hours after the admission, or as soon as is reasonably possible.

What is a deductible?
The deductible is the dollar amount you must pay to your provider before the insurance company will cover a percentage of eligible expenses. Please note that the deductible is per person, and is only paid once per year. On the Patriot International Lite and America Plus plan, you can choose between the following deductibles: $0, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or $2,500. On the Patriot Platinum plans, you can choose between the following deductibles: $0, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000.What is coinsurance?
Coinsurance is the “cost-sharing” between you and the insurance company. After you satisfy the deductible, the insurance company will pay a percentage of remaining eligible expenses. The coinsurance on this plan will depend on which level you choose, where you are traveling, and if you go to an in-network or out-of-network provider. You can search the network for providers online.
The coinsurance on the Patriot International Lite and International Platinum plans is as follows:
Outside the United States: 100% of eligible expenses, after the deductible is met, up to the policy maximum.
The coinsurance on the Patriot America Plus plan is as follows:
In-Network in the United States: 100% of eligible expenses, after the deductible is met, up to the policy maximum.
Out-of-Network in the United States: 80% of eligible expenses, after the deductible is met, for the first $5,000, and then 100% coverage up to the policy maximum.
The coinsurance on the Patriot America Platinum plan is as follows:
In-Network in the United States: 100% of eligible expenses, after the deductible is met, up to the policy maximum.
Out-of-Network in the United States: 90% of eligible expenses, after the deductible is met, for the first $5,000, and then 100% coverage up to the policy maximum.
What does “in-network” mean?
“In-network” is a list of providers (hospitals, physicians, clinics and urgent care centers) that have agreed to contract with the insurance company. This plan uses a PPO Network (or Preferred Provider Organization) which means that you can go to any provider you’d like, however those inside the network have agreed to accept payment directly from the insurance company at discounted rates. This will allow you to pay less out-of-pocket if you go to an in-network provider.What is the Universal Rx Discount Card?
The Universal Rx Discount Card is a discount savings program that allows you to purchase prescriptions from one of 35,000 participating pharmacies in the U.S. and receive the lower of 1) Universal Rx contract price or 2) the pharmacy regular retail price. This program is not insurance coverage; it provides reduced rates at participating pharmacies.Renewability, Extensions and Cancellations
Can I extend or renew my insurance plan?
Yes! You are able to extend your coverage. If you purchase this plan for less than 365 days, you may extend your Patriot International Lite, Patriot America Plus and Platinum plans up until you have fulfilled the full 365 days of coverage. From there, you may renew your plan up to one additional year on the Patriot International Lite and America Plus, and an additional two years on the Platinum levels in your MyIMG account.My plan has expired, how can I reinstate it?
Unfortunately, once a plan has expired, it cannot be reinstated. However, you may purchase a new Patriot plan. Please keep in mind that if you had coverage for a condition during your first plan or if any condition occurred during the lapse in coverage, it would not be covered on a new plan because it would now be considered a pre-existing condition.Can I cancel my Patriot plan?
You will have three days from the initial effective date of coverage, called the Review Period, in which you can review the benefits, conditions, limitations, exclusions, and all other terms of the plan. If you are not completely satisfied, you can cancel the plan for a full refund. After the Review Period, the following conditions will apply:- If any claims have been filed with the Company, the Premium is fully earned and is non-refundable.
-
If no claims have been filed with the Company:
- a cancellation fee of $50.00 USD will be charged regardless of the reason for cancellation
- only Premium covering time periods after cancellation are refundable
Seeking Treatment
Which doctors or hospitals can I go to?
You may visit any doctor or hospital and receive coverage under your Patriot plan. However, when in the United States, it is always best to choose a provider that accepts the contracted Preferred Provider Network (PPO).
If you’ve purchased your plan after May 1st, 2019, you’ll want to find a provider in your area that accepts the UnitedHealthcare Network, as you will have less out of pocket expenses. You can find providers through the UnitedHealthcare search tool.
If you’ve purchased your plan prior to May 1st, 2019, you’ll want to find a provider in your area that accepts the First Health Network. You can find providers that accept the First Health Network.
When outside of the United States, IMG offers their International Provider Access search tool to make it easier for you to find providers in the area that you are located. You can find providers in your area through our online provider search tool.
If you are unsure of where to seek treatment, please feel free to contact us and we’d be happy to help you locate the correct doctor to visit.
How are claims paid?
Claims will be paid depending on where you are located and where you seek treatment:
- In-network while inside the USA
- When you visit a provider that is part of the plan network your insurance bill is typically paid directly, so you would just need to pay your deductible at the time of treatment. To confirm direct billing, it is important to check with the provider before you seek treatment.
- Out-of-network while inside the USA
- Generally, when you visit a provider that is outside the network, you will need to pay for all services up front and then submit a claim form, along with any bills and receipts from your visit, for reimbursement.
- Outside the USA
- When visiting a provider around the world, please pay for the services up front and then submit a claim form for reimbursement.
If you're hospitalized for an emergency or planned hospitalization, you'll need to call the 24-hour emergency assistance number located on the back of your insurance ID card, and they'll assist you further with settling the hospital bills.
No matter where you seek treatment, you'll want to complete a claim and/or accident form within 180 days of the illness/accident and email it to CustomerCare@imglobal.com. If you were required to pay anything out of pocket at the time of treatment, make sure to send your itemized receipts and any bills so that your claim is processed as quickly as possible. You can access the claim and accident form and submit your claims through your MyIMG account. Tip: Please ask for all your medical documents at the time of treatment, including your medical records, in case they are requested at a later date.Patriot Travel | Premiums
