Dear Kids Alive Missionaries,
We want to familiarize you with your Deductibles and Co-Insurance.
- $2500 deductible per person inside the USA with an 80%/20% co-insurance for the first $10,000 of eligible medical expenses. Your share of the co-insurance is 20% or a potential $2,000 if expenses run up to $10,000.
- $0 deductible per person outside the USA with 100% (no-coinsurance) paid on eligible medical expenses.
- Important: IMG offers an “Accumulative Family Deductible” equal to 2 times the individual deductible.
Insurance is a matter of economics. Renewal rates are factored upon the amount of premiums received versus the claims that are paid out. Simply put…claims drive renewal rates!
It is no secret that USA medical treatment is expensive vs. treatment in many places overseas. “Obamacare”, HIPPA, the FDA, malpractice and medical liability (un-needed testing) all contribute to runaway costs.
Overseas Incentives – we will discuss this in further detail in future communications. Right now and in the future, if you choose to have your medical treatment overseas requiring an overnight stay in the hospital, your IMG health plan will pay you $400 per night (up to 10 nights per year) to incentivize your decision on where to have your procedures done. This financial incentive is in addition to paying your eligible medical bills per the certificate wording.
Medical Travel Management Benefit
This benefit is designed to reward the insured who elects to receive certain non-emergency medical
procedures overseas where medical care is generally less expensive than in the U.S.
The Medical Travel Management benefit offers the insured person who is contemplating non-emergency
medical treatment in the United States the opportunity to be financially compensated for having that care
rendered by a qualified medical provider(s) outside of the U.S. When treatment is received outside of the
U.S. and outside of the insured’s country of service and there is greater than $10,000 cost savings to the
Plan, the insured will personally share in any cost savings that is realized. The cost savings are calculated
using the average U.S. cost of the medical service compared to the actual costs of the medical procedure
and associated medical travel costs performed by the non-US based provider(s).
Meanwhile while inside the USA…
