SAFETY & SECURITY

MEDICAL CARE

  • When someone is injured on the slopes or in the village, he or she is first assisted by security staff or ski patrol personnel.
  • Injured persons are generally first taken to the clinic at the resort where minor injuries, particularly injuries due to skiing or snow boarding accidents, are treated.
  • Anyone with more serious injuries is taken directly to the hospital in the nearby town.

PAYMENT FOR MEDICAL SERVICES/INSURANCE

  • If you are treated for injuries in the clinic or nearby hospital, you are expected to pay for services with a credit card.
  • If you do not have a credit card, payment can be authorized on the telephone by your parents or someone else to pay for the treatment.
  • As a general rule, the medical expense of treating injuries while traveling is covered by your regular family medical insurance but you are expected to pay for the medical expense and submit your medical bills for reimbursement when you return home.
  • The insurance company should reimburse these expenses when you send in copies of the medical bills.
  • Make sure you receive and retain copies of all bills incurred as a result of injuries on the trip.
  • Expenses incurred at a hospital are usually more extensive and arrangements often are made directly with the insurance company in the United States to handle payment. But some hospital-related expenses including ambulances may have to be paid by credit card and then submitted for reimbursement.
  • Check with your health insurance provider if you are unsure of their travel coverage policy and procedures.
