The Documentation That Gets Paid
The insurance claim fails on paperwork — the missing receipt, the unclear diagnosis, the documentation the insurer cannot process. Our 4-in-1 claim PDF is designed for the insurer's requirements: consultation notes, itemized receipt, diagnostic reports, and the formatted summary that answers the adjuster's questions before they are asked.
What the claim packet contains
- Consultation notes — history, exam findings, diagnosis, treatment
- Itemized receipt — every charge broken out for review
- Diagnostic reports — lab results, imaging reports
- Medical certificate — when applicable for claims or travel changes
- ICD-10 coding — the insurer's required diagnosis codes
File Before You Leave
The claim filed from Kathmandu with the paperwork in hand succeeds faster than the claim filed from home weeks later when the documentation requires retrieval. Collect everything at the visit; file promptly. The claim that waits has a harder path than the one filed immediately.
The Documentation Cost
Insurance documentation — the free with the visit (the stamped ICD-10 report + the itemized receipt that is included). For the claim, the paperwork that is standard.
The Claim Value
Claim reimbursement — the full or the partial (the policy that determines). For the insured traveler, the documentation that recovers the consult fee.
The Documentation Cost
Claim documentation — the free-with-visit (the stamped report + the itemized receipt that is included). For the claimant, the provided that is the paperwork.
The Claim Value
Claim value — the ~$40-400 recovered (the documented that enables the reimbursement). For the insured, the supported that is the point.
Does the clinic help with insurance claims?
Yes — we provide claim-ready documentation: consultation notes, itemized receipts, diagnostic reports, and the insurer-formatted summary (our 4-in-1 claim PDF). The paperwork that makes claims succeed is produced as part of the visit.
What documentation do insurers need?
Itemized receipt, diagnosis and treatment notes, diagnostic reports (labs, imaging), medical certificate if applicable, and proof of payment. Our documentation package includes all of these in the format insurers expect.
Do you bill insurance directly?
For most services, payment is at time of service and you claim reimbursement. For major expenses or evacuation coordination, direct billing may be arranged with insurers who offer it — contact us and your insurer to coordinate.
What if my claim is denied?
The documentation we provide is the strongest claim support available — most denials result from missing paperwork or unclear diagnosis coding, both of which our packets address. If denied, appeal with the complete documentation; we can provide additional information insurers request.
How long does the claim take?
Depends on your insurer — typically 2–8 weeks for reimbursement once the claim is filed with complete documentation. Filing promptly with complete paperwork avoids the delay that incomplete claims create.
