Looking for mind health support?
Available through the Virtual Care service, the Mind Health service connects you with a fully qualified psychologist who will provide you with the support you need, wherever you are in the world. Whether that’s one phone or video call or a course of up to six sessions.2
If you’ve bought an individual policy for yourself and your family, you’ll have access to this service straight away. If your policy is provided by your employer, you’ll need to check your healthcare hub or with your HR team to see whether this service is included with your cover.
To use the Mind Health service, you'll need to register on the Virtual Care portal or the app. Once you're set up, tap on the Mind Health service and complete the form to request a mind health consultation.
And, you don't need to make a claim or let us know that you’re using these services, unless you're referred for further treatment with another specialist.
We’ll check that you’re covered and answer any questions you may have. Sometimes, we might need some more information about your medical history, so we’ll ask you and your medical practitioner to complete a Medical Information Form. You won’t need to find this online – we’ll send you whatever we need.
You can start your claim via your online account or over the phone – you can call us anytime on +44 (0) 1892 503 856*.
Need help finding a hospital or clinic?
We work with healthcare providers around the world, so if you need help finding one in our network, you can use our online provider search tool. This can help you find your nearest health provider, based on your location or by the type of treatment you need.
If your claim is eligible, we’ll pre-approve it so you can visit your healthcare provider. We’ll give you a pre-approval number, which you’ll need to take to your appointment, along with your customer number. You can find your customer number on your membership card. Your medical provider may ask for this in order to send invoices to us for payment.
If you’d rather, you can pay for your treatment directly to the specialist or clinic. Make sure you keep hold of the itemised invoice and receipts to send to us – we can pay you back for eligible treatment you’ve paid for.
We can pay you back by cheque, or directly into your bank account – whichever you prefer. If you’d like payment to your bank account, you’ll just need to update your payment preference and bank account details in your online account.
The most important thing to do after your treatment is to take time to rest and recover.
If you've already paid for your appointments or treatment, simply send us the invoices and receipts – along with any additional information we've requested – and leave the rest to us.
We aim to pay you back quickly. When we have all of the information we need, we settle almost 81% of eligible claims within just 2 days.3
If we’ve pre-approved your claim, we’ll arrange to settle the bill with the medical provider directly.
Once your claim has been processed, we’ll send you a Benefit Statement to let you know what’s been paid.
Manage your plan, make a claim or ask us a question quickly and securely, 24/7.
Registering is easy - you'll just need your membership number which will be in the format of INTL7654321.
