How treatment costs are paid

How we pay for your treatment

If you’re recovering from treatment, the last thing you’ll want to think about is paying the bill. That’s why we pay the fees directly to your provider where we can, manage the paperwork and support you every step of the way.

Inpatient and day patient treatment

Whether you’re going to be in hospital for the day or longer, our global network of over two million trusted providers makes it easy to get the care you need. We’ll settle their eligible fees directly, so you won’t have to worry about being out-of-pocket.

Here’s how it works

Before your treatment

To make sure everything runs smoothly, contact us first to arrange a pre-approval letter for your chosen doctor, clinic, or hospital from our AXA Select Network1.

The letter confirms what’s covered on your plan and lets your provider know they can send us the invoice. We can provide your pre-approval letter in a range of languages.

Paying your claim

If you’ve paid for your treatment upfront, simply send us your invoice and receipt through your online account and we’ll aim to reimburse you within two working days or less.2

If your provider has asked for a pre-approval letter, you can let us know by sending a message through your online account or giving us a call on +44 (0) 1892 503 856*.

Outpatient consultations, tests and treatment

If you need outpatient care and your provider is part of our AXA Select Network1, we’ll pay their fees directly where we can.

If you choose a provider outside of our network, or if you’re asked to pay for your treatment on the day, don’t forget to keep a copy of your invoice and receipt so we can reimburse you.

You can submit your claim in three easy ways:

Snap a photo of your invoice and receipt, then upload them to your online account. If we have everything we need, we’ll aim to reimburse you within two working days.2

If your plan includes the healthcare payment card, just tap your phone or wearable on the payment terminal to pay for eligible outpatient treatment and prescriptions.3 Then upload a photo of your invoice to the AXA Global Healthcare Card app4 within 48 hours.

Post your original invoice, receipt and proof of payment to our Customer Service team within six months of your treatment date. Once we’ve got everything we need, we’ll reimburse you for the eligible costs.2
