Pre-authorizing in-patient and day-patient treatment

Once you know that you might need treatment, please contact us immediately on 2343 0000 or e-mail us on health@elmoinsurance.com so that we can pre-authorize your treatment, subject to the terms of your policy. 

Once we confirm direct settlement for eligible and medically necessary treatment, the hospital would claim expenses directly from us and we would settle medical bills on your behalf. 

The direct settlement facility is only available on our full refund Plans for In-patient and Day-patient treatments, MRI, CT or PET Scans. Your pre-authorization will specify any approved length of stay for In-Patient Treatment.  If your treatment takes longer than this approved length of stay, then you must contact us. We shall not be able to confirm direct settlement for treatment received within the first three months of commencement of cover.

 Please ensure that you inform us at least five working days prior to admission or treatment.
