How does insurance pay for a hospital stay in Georgia as a foreigner?
For an insured patient, Geoassistance sends the admitting doctor's report to the insurer and requests a guarantee of payment, the written confirmation that the stay is covered. The hospital then invoices the insurer, and the claim is managed by Geoassistance. Treatment outside the policy is confirmed with you in advance and in writing; its cost depends on the department, the length of stay and the procedures.
