I paid the Provider Directly. What do I do?
Should you ever need to submit a claim, the claims process is simple and easy to follow. Submissions are to be made directly to Unity Health, the underwriting managers administering the policies sold under Elixi Medical Insurance, within 4 months from the date of the event of your claim. Failure to notify a claim within this time may lead to the claim being rejected as a stale claim. You may be required to complete a claim form and produce documentary proof substantiating your claim. T&C’s apply.
Members making use of their unlimited GP visits to a network doctor should not be required to make a claim as these are settled directly with the provider.
Step-by-Step Member Reimbursement Process:
In isolated cases, if you did pay the provider directly, follow the below steps.
Step 2 – Submit a copy of the main member’s ID, proof of bank details stamped by the bank (either a banking details verification form or a copy of a bank statement).
Step 3 – Submit proof of payment of the claim. i.e. receipts/a fully detailed account/statement of account.
Step 4 – Submit the provider account or tax invoice provider statement.
Step 6 – Refunds are processed within seven working days, depending on whether all information has been received and completed accordingly.
Don’t forget, all member reimbursement claims must be submitted with:
Process for a Claim Enquiry

If you wish to dispute a claims assessment, what procedures need to be followed and within what time frame?
A claim may be disputed by:
Making representation to Unity Health or the Insurer indicated in the Disclosure Notice attached to the policy wording within 90 days of receipt of the benefit /rejection letter. Unity Health or the insurer is obligated to provide the member with feedback within 45 days.
The member should first aim to resolve their dispute with Unity Health before contacting the Insurer. The member may also contact the Financial Service Ombudsman indicated in the Disclosure Notice attached to the policy wording should they not be satisfied with the response of the Insurer.
The member may also constitute legal action should the matter not be resolved by either the insurer or the relevant Ombudsman. The claim will prescribe 6 months after the expiry of the 90-days indicated above (no further claims will be payable for the specific claim).
