What is travel insurance?
Travel Insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to protect your health, loss of belongings including passport, delays etc. when you usually travel abroad. It provides peace of mind for you and your family while on your vacation since these unforeseen expenses can often be very large and you may not be in a position to quickly arrange for funds.

What is a TPA?
TPA stands for Third Party Administrator. It is an organization that facilitates cashless medical services, taking care of the hassles of payments in case of medical emergencies. They also provide the necessary information to deal with any claim related queries.

Will my charges be paid directly to the hospital or do I need to pay the bill first and then claim from the company?
It depends on the type of policy you have - if you have the cashless hospitalization cover, you can intimate the insurer or TPA, who will then make the required payments directly to the hospital. Otherwise, you will need to make the payments, and then submit your insurance claim. You will then be reimbursed after your claim has been validated.

No. All you need to show is your passport number and the policy number.
