Most insurance information you will need is located on Bethany Benefit Service’s webpage.
Please visit www.covchurch.org/benefits/insurance for policy information, claim forms, benefits
overviews and more. Below is a detailed description of how to file claims.
When overseas, in-network doctors are very scarce. When receiving medical attention or filling
prescriptions, you will most likely be required to pay the balance up front and request
reimbursement by filing claims after the date of service. Send claims as soon as possible after the date
of service to avoid delays and complications in the approval process.
Information to provide for each claim:
• Claim form: Please fill out the appropriate claim form completely (available for download on
Bethany Benefits webpage)
• Details of what happened on the date of service (not needed for prescription claims)
• Your bill, receipt and/or a letter from the doctor explaining the appointment with a detailed
description of the amount owed (request an itemized bill at the office or hospital)
• A translated version of anything written in another language to English
• The exchange rate to American dollars from the date of service (a screen shot from the
internet is fine)
• Be sure to write dates in this format: Month/Day/Year
How to file a claim:
• Scan each claim as its own electronic document and email to the proper insurance vendor:
