The customer portal is a magical land where lollipops grow on trees; every river runs chocolate; and nobody works. I’m sorry, that's not true at all. Unfortunately, there is no candy and everyone works very hard. But worry not, my dear friend, you won't be lifting a finger. Wait, that's not true either. In fact, moving a finger is literally all that you'll be doing. At any rate, think of the customer portal as a beautiful bazaar, with everything you could possibly need for managing your G1G account from home, or abroad. There, you are able to peruse the various stands where you may: Access to your: ⁃ID Card ⁃Proof of Insurance ⁃Policy Details ⁃Receipt Provider Directory: That helps you locate the appropriate medical facilities, hospitals and doctors in your immediate region, to ensure that you receive the best treatment available. Request a Correction: Whether it’s correcting a simple typo or amending a policy to better suit your needs. Claims Support: In the case of a claim we will make the process as easy as possible; with clear instructions on what to do and the tools to do it. G1G claims support includes downloadable forms, and all necessary contact information to begin and follow up with your claims. Renew Policies: In case your trip runs a little longer than usual, you may extend a policy through the G1G customer portal. Request a Cancellation: If your trip ends early, for whatever reason, and you no longer require insurance, you may cancel your policy through the customer portal. Visa Letter: With our sleek visa letter generator, you simply print the pre-populated letter and attach to your visa application when submitting for regions that require proof of health insurance in order to issue a visa. 24/7 Assistance: The customer portal gives you access to all the necessary contact information in the case you require emergency assistance while traveling. This includes, a standard 1-800 number along with a domestic & international number that accept collect calls so you can reach them at all times under all circumstances. Our support team can aid you in finding appropriate medical services such as locating a near by medical facility or medical evacuation. In some plans we even provide non-medical 24/7 concierge services! The customer portal is also where you may seek guidance in retrieving pre qualifications for medical procedures since some policies require authorization from the insurance carrier. In this case, the customer portal will provide you with a phone number to call and seek the pre approval for your procedure. A cat scan or an MRI, to name a few, would be an example of such procedures. In most cases the hospital staff will notify the carrier on your behalf, but is not obligated to do so. Therefore, the responsibility rest on you to inform the carrier. This should be done through the customer portal unless it is an emergency; in which case, forget the pre-approval and get to the hospital! In this instance, you may file the claim as soon as possible but we recommend waiting no longer than 24 hours. Remember, G1G doesn’t leave you when the trip is over. After you have completed your journey, you still have access to the customer portal so that you can review your past policies or monitor claims. We want to make sure that you have a great experience with G1G and we understand that the journey doesn’t end when you unpack your bag. Just as the memories of far off lands linger in your mind, so does our commitment to you. Check out the customer portal after your purchase and before your trip, to familiarize yourself with its infrastructure. While the portal is quite intuitive, it’s best to have an understanding of the various features it offers in case of an emergency. It is also wise to jot down the names and contact information of some medical care providers within close proximity to the places you intend to visit, as well as, the 24/7 emergency assistance numbers. So take a gander and enjoy the (virtual) journey!
