2. TREATMENT PRE-AUTHORISATION/GUARANTEE

Certain treatments and costs require Pre-Authorisation and submission of a Treatment Guarantee Form in advance. Following approval by Think Insurtech & TPA, cover for these required treatments or costs can then be guaranteed. 

If Pre-Authorisation is not obtained for the benefits listed below, we reserve the right to decline a claim. We should be contacted at least five working days before receiving treatment, so that we can ensure that there will be no delays at the time of admission. This will ensure that members benefit from cashless access to hospitals for in-patient treatment, where possible, and have their treatment overseen by our team of medical professionals.

In the case of an emergency, we should be informed within 48 hours of the event to ensure that no Pre-Authorisation penalty will apply to the claim. If the respective treatment is subsequently proven to be medically necessary, we will pay only 80% of the eligible benefits.

These benefits are listed below, along with further important details:

3. CLAIMS PROCESS AND TURNAROUND

If the policy is in 1st Euro or 1st USD, claims are reimbursed based on medical treatment under the chosen plan. Think Insurtech delegate the claims process to its Third Party Administrator (TPA) and you should send a fully completed claim form, diagnosis, invoice and receipt of payment to them by Scan/Email or through the TPA mobile application. Fully completed claims are processed in 5 working days.

If you are French and the policy is a Top Up of the CFE (Caisse des Français à l’Etranger), you should observe the same process as 1st Euro/1st USD and the TPA will submit claims to CFE. Benefits indicated correspond to the total sum jointly paid by the CFE & Think Insurtech.Note that retirees, whose claims are settled by CPAM of Tours, are required to claim from the CPAM of Tours prior to submitting claim to the TPA.

Think Insurtech and our insurance partners only cover claims that are usual, reasonable, and customary
