Proof and next steps
Direct payment policy
The insurer, through the assistance company (CORIS Bulgaria), pays directly to the treating doctor, medical facility, or rescue/transport organizations within the contracted network. When the insured has personally paid the costs, original documents must be submitted to the insurer after returning to Bulgaria for reimbursement. For events in Turkey, USA and/or Canada, the insured must contact the assistance company immediately; if this obligation is not fulfilled, the insurer covers medical expenses only up to EUR/USD 50.The insurer does not make direct payments to medical providers as a standard process; the assistance company 'Coris Bulgaria' coordinates and arranges services. In Turkey, USA, and/or Canada, if the insured independently selects a medical provider without involvement of Coris Bulgaria, the insurer covers medical expenses up to a limit of 100 EUR only.The Assistance Company (Global Services Bulgaria AD) organizes and pays directly to the medical facility when notified. If the insured has paid out of pocket, the Insurer reimburses within 15 working days upon receipt of all required documents. Indemnity is paid in BGN at BNB exchange rate on the date of expenses, except when the Insurer pays the medical facility directly.When an active insurance policy exists, the Insurer/Assistance Company organises payment directly to the relevant medical and/or other service providers on behalf of the insured. The insured must contact the Assistance Company within 3 working days of the insured event and obtain prior approval before incurring transport or repatriation costs. Medical transport and repatriation expenses incurred without prior approval are not covered or reimbursed.
