How does payment work if someone needs to see a doctor?
Independent contractors have two options for payment, based on their preference and situation.
1. Direct billing: SafetyWing provides direct billing for in-patient and day-patient treatment (admitted to hospital). This means they handle all payments directly with the hospital, so independent contractors don't have to pay out of pocket. Direct billing is available for both emergency admissions or planned procedures.
2. Pay out of pocket and submit a claim: Independent contractors can pay out of pocket for their visit and then submit a claim for reimbursement online. Claims are paid within 1-4 days.
Is COVID-19 covered?
Yes, this global health insurance has no exclusions for pandemics, so independent contractors will get a full refund for any treatment required in a hospital.
