Are there any coverage restrictions for overseas treatment?

When it comes to overseas treatment, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare typically has specific coverage restrictions that members should be aware of. Primarily, coverage for services received outside of the United States may not be as comprehensive as that provided domestically. Often, these plans may have limited or no coverage for non-emergency medical treatments received while traveling abroad, as well as for services rendered by providers who are not in the Harvard Pilgrim network. Furthermore, certain plans may only cover emergency medical services that arise unexpectedly during overseas travel. It is also important for members to understand that some plans might require prior authorization for certain treatments, even if they are being conducted outside of the United States. Additionally, members might be responsible for paying upfront for services in foreign countries and seeking reimbursement afterward, depending on the terms of their plan. To get the most accurate information about specific coverage restrictions, members should refer to their plan documents or the resources available on the current webpage. Understanding these details can help members navigate their healthcare options while traveling abroad more effectively.
