If you have paid up front for medical services, you must submit a claim for reimbursement.

	Travel Medical Emergencies
	 
	If you experience a medical emergency while travelling, it remains important that you call Allianz Global Assistance before seeking treatment whenever possible. Their agents will provide you with a referral to the nearest medical facility, arrange billing on your behalf whenever possible, and advise you of important information related to the claims process and more.
	 
	In a serious medical emergency, you should go to a hospital and have a family member or friend call Allianz on your behalf once you are at the facility.
