Claims Outside The USA
When you need medical treatment we are there to help you and to ensure that you get the care that you need.
If it is an emergency, seek treatment immediately, and then contact Aetna +1 877 248 2197 and also email our Claims Team to help.
If it is not an emergency, perhaps it is a good opportunity to use the vHealth Worldwide app to speak to a doctor? There is no charge and no impact on your No Claims Bonus.
Finding a Hospital or Doctor
Outside of the USA, you are free to seek treatment from any hospital or doctor. Aetna has a network of 165,000 international facilities that have already agreed to receive a direct payment from Aetna for your medical treatment.
If you are not seeking treatment at one of these facilities, it is still usually possible for Aetna to arrange a direct payment for you when the cost of treatment is over US$500. If you need to have Aetna make a direct payment for you, please follow the below pre-authorization process.
Medical Treatment that Requires Pre-Authorization
- Planned in-patient or day-patient treatment (hospitalization)
- Any pregnancy or childbirth treatment
- Planned surgery
- Medical, political or natural disaster evacuation
- Psychiatric treatment – in-patient, day-patient or out-patient
- Home nursing charges
- Planned in-patient, day patient or out-patient MRI, CT & PET scans
