MANILA--Being insured is not a guarantee that medical expenses will get covered if a person gets infected with COVID-19, a personal finance and insurance professional said on Thursday.
Joey Fereira, president of Moneydoctors Inc, said that even if insurance associations say they will honor claims related to COVID-19, it is still recommended to have those in writing.
“For those who bought critical care coverage, the illnesses covered are listed, and if the Wuhan virus is out of that list, you need written confirmation from the insurer that it is indeed covered,” Fereira said.“If the insurer responds, you have documentation validating the extent of coverage you have,” he added.
1. While you're healthy and in lockdown, get your dusty insurance policies out and know your coverage.3. Make sure you know your insurance company’s protocols for filing claims.
