1. When traveling abroad, in cases of theft or loss, you must report the incident to the local police promptly and provide the police report when filing a claim with the insurance company.

2. When traveling abroad, in the event of an accident or emergency medical situation, keep all relevant local medical documentation, which will be required when filing a claim with the insurance company.

3. When traveling abroad, if your luggage is lost or your flight is delayed, obtain the necessary proof of loss or delay from the airline or relevant authorities immediately, as this will be required when filing a claim with the insurance company.

4. For domestic medical treatment, visit hospitals that are part of the public medical insurance network. Ensure the treatments received are within the scope of the public medical insurance drug list. Keep all medical records and medication details, as original documents will be required for reimbursement.

What should I pay attention to when filing a claim?

1. You must file a claim with the insurance company within two years from the date of the incident. Claims filed after this period will not be accepted.

2. Before filing a claim, inquire with your insurance company about the required documentation and prepare everything accordingly.

3. Original copies of invoices and other claim-related materials must be provided—photocopies are not valid.

4. If the insurance company refuses to pay or offers a lower amount, be sure to ask for the reason.
