Once I received fluids, it corrected itself. I have learned that drinking a lot of water is very important. Be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provided an itemized bill no charge, however, the cost for a full report (mine was 7 pages + EKG results) was $28 if I wanted it. I was told that I would only need the itemized bill to submit to insurance, but wanted the entire report just be sure. Travel insurance covered my entire $1600 bill. you must have good travel insurance that covered entire bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verde Man Posted April 27, 2023 #28 Share Posted April 27, 2023 When I look for travel insurance I try to find ones that are marked primary. May cost a few dollars more but I do not have to worry about filing with others first. Had a visit to the Carnival Panorama Medical Center which ran $600. Filed a claim was was paid within a few weeks. Had to send in a copy of the on board bill plus the medical report which I received from the ships medical center.

They are primary for medical. This was the first time I have used them and am very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedirn Posted April 28, 2023 #30 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I have a medicare advantage plan and recently went through the filing of a claim. I fell outside the terminal in San Juan on March 7. Lots of Princess staff there who immediately insisted I be seen in medical center. Leg looked a lot worse than it actually was but at the time it was hard to assess due to blood. Bill was $118 for cleaning of wound, abx ointment and dressings. Filed claim with insurance company on March 13. Received check for $23 on March 23 as I had a $95 deductible as I was out of network. Filed with AON on April 5 and they are covering the remaining $95 (check coming in 3-7 business days). I was very surprised that advantage plan covered anything but it may be due to being in San Juan and not another port. But also very surprised at speed that both insurance companies processed claim so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
