3 Easy Steps:

Required Documents

Required supporting documents vary by claim type. Medical claims abroad usually require invoices, receipts, and physician notes. Baggage claims typically call for a carrier report and receipts. Always review the full list of required documents for your claim type before submitting.

TIP:  Make sure the insured name on your ID card matches your documents. That’s the name used for your claim file.

Claim Filing Deadlines

To help ensure your claim is reviewed without delay, you should report the incident within 30 days or as soon as reasonably possible. All required documentation must then be submitted within 90 days of the date of loss, unless it is not reasonably possible to do so. Please note that late reporting or incomplete documentation may affect eligibility, as all claims are subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of your coverage.

Billing & Reimbursement

For medical care inside the U.S. with an in-network provider, simply present your WorldTrips ID card and the provider will bill us directly. Once a claim is opened, you may be asked to complete the Claimant’s Statement & Authorization form. If you receive care inside the U.S. but outside the network, you’ll need to pay the provider upfront and collect an itemized bill (including DX/CPT codes), medical records, and your receipt. These documents can be uploaded with your claim in the Member Portal. For care outside the U.S., you should also expect to pay at the time of service and gather an itemized bill, medical records, and your receipt, then submit everything online. Approved claims are reimbursed through the payment method you select.

Upfront Medical Payments and Reimbursement

If you paid for medical treatment upfront and want reimbursement for an approved claim via electronic payment, be sure to complete “SupplementB– Payment Authorization Agreement Form” within the Claimant’s Statement and Authorization form.

If this section isn’t completed, reimbursement will be issued as a paper check to the name and address on file for U.S. and Canadian residents.

Already submitted your claim but didn’t complete the Payment Authorization section?
You don’t need to file a new claim form. Instead, you can securely submit the Payment Authorization Agreement Form through DocuSign in the Member Portal:

  1. Sign in and go to Claims and Appeals.
  2. Under Payment Forms in the File a Claim section, click Fill Out and Submit via DocuSign.
  3. Enter your name and email, then click Begin Signing.
  4. Check I agree to use electronic records and signatures, then click Continue.
  5. Select your preferred payment method, complete the required fields, sign, and click Finish.

You’ll receive a PDF copy of your signed form by email. If you don’t receive it within 24 hours, please contact WorldTrips to confirm your submission was received.

Filing a Claim on Behalf of Someone Else

If you’re submitting a claim for another person, you must complete the section of the Claimant’s Statement and Authorization form labeled “Supplement D – Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPAA form).”

This section must be signed by the policyholder to give us permission to discuss their Protected Health Information (PHI) with you. Without a signed authorization, we can only share basic claim status updates.

Already filed your claim but didn’t complete Supplement D?
No need to submit a new claim form. You can send the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPAA form) separately.

Student Claim Requirements

To confirm eligibility, please include the following with your Claimant’s Statement and Authorization form:

  • A copy of your education-related visa (F-1, J-1, OPT, etc.) or valid I-20/DS-2019
  • Proof of full-time student status — unless you’re submitting a valid F-1 (including OPT) or J-1 visa

For questions or assistance, contact Global Customer Support at (800) 605-2282.

Claims Review Process

Once your claim is submitted, a claims examiner will begin reviewing it. In some cases, you may be asked to provide additional documentation before processing can continue. After all required information has been received, your claim will move forward for review and determination.

To help speed up processing, include all documents listed for your specific benefit type and confirm that names, dates, and booking details match across your records. If you or a medical provider do not respond within 45 days of a request for more information, the claim may be closed.

Tip: Avoid delays by ensuring all supporting documents are complete, easy to read, and consistent with your claim details.

You can view any requests for additional information in the Claims and Appeals section of the Member Portal:

  1. Sign in and click Claims and Appeals in the main navigation.
  2. Scroll to the Claims section and click the arrow next to the claim you’d like to view.
  3. Click View Detail under each step to see your claim’s progress.
  4. If WorldTrips has sent a letter to you or your provider, you can download it directly from this page.
  5. When additional information is requested, click the link in the timeline to download the letter and submit your documents.

You’ll receive a confirmation email once your documents are submitted, and a confirmation message will appear in your claim timeline under the original request.

Appealing A Claim 

Your claim was reviewed and processed based upon the terms and conditions of your purchased policy. If your claim has been denied and you have received an Explanation of Benefits from us explaining why it was denied; you have the option to appeal our decision. Should you feel the decision was made in error, an appeal must be submitted in writing and include relevant documentation supporting your request to overturn the original claim decision. 

Log in to the WorldTrips Member Portal, navigate to Claims and Appeals, select Appeals, and click Start an Appeal. Complete the form by entering your claim number and providing a written explanation in the designated field. Be sure to include any additional information or documentation that supports your appeal so it can be reviewed thoroughly. 

If you prefer, you may also submit your written appeal and supporting documents by: 

  • Mail: 
    WorldTrips – Appeals Department 
    P.O. Box 241778 
    Apple Valley, MN 55124 U.S.A. 

Appeals are reviewed by the WorldTrips Appeals Team and typically take about 60 days. Once a determination is made, you’ll receive the outcome via email notification. 

TIP: If your Explanation of Benefits indicates that your claim was closed due to a lack of supporting documentation (original travel itinerary, proof of payment, etc.) you do not need to file an appeal. Instead, upload the requested information via the Member Portal and your claim will be re-opened for review and consideration.

If you are not the insured or the insured’s legal guardian, you will see the Protected Health Information Authorization page in place of the Claims and Appeals page. Enter the insured’s email address and click “Send Request.” Once the insured has completed and submitted our HIPAA form, you will gain access to the Claims and Appeals page within 3-5 days.
