If you are receiving health care services in the USA, please do not make any advance payment for the costs incurred if you are requested to do so by the health care provider.
An examination of the services rendered and costs can be made considerably more difficult by the advance payment. We, as your insurer, can then no longer protect you from unjustified cost charges.
A hospital may not refuse to treat a patient in the USA either. If necessary and for further information, please also contact our emergency call service when travelling (from abroad: +43 13152444).
