FILING A CLAIM
For most medical services out-of-network, and
sometimes outside the U.S., you will have to pay
for your care and file a claim for reimbursement
(unless a direct settlement arrangement has been
set up with a participating hospital). You can submit
a claim electronically or using a paper form.

To submit an online claim, log on to
www.aetnainternational.comand click the
“Submit Claim” tab. Complete a
Request for
Medical/Dental Benefits

instructions to submit your claim electronically.
