Conditions to be aware of regarding cashless medical treatment
Cashless medical treatment is an exclusive benefit for our policyholders that is available only at our globally contracted hospital network. However, there may be instances where network hospitals are temporarily unable to provide cashless services, per their internal conditions beyond our control. Furthermore, if we have reason to suspect that your medical condition predates your insurance coverage, we may require you to pay for treatment upfront as a prudent measure. Therefore, we strongly recommend that policyholders contact SOMPO Assist prior to seeking medical care, allowing us to verify and schedule an appointment at an appropriate in-network facility that can accommodate cashless services during that time period.
