Does a guarantee of payment cover the whole bill?
The guarantee applies to the expenses and limits the insurer has authorized. The patient may still be responsible for deductibles, deposits or items outside the agreed coverage.

What it is
An unexpected hospital visit can involve several teams before admission or billing is settled. Trails of Indochina coordinates with patients, insurers and hospitals so that each side knows who to contact, which paperwork is needed and whether the hospital can accept the proposed billing arrangement.
On behalf of insurers, we help arrange guarantees of payment for covered treatment and coordinate directly with hospitals. A guarantee of payment, often called a GOP, sets out what the insurer has agreed to pay. The insurer determines eligibility and coverage, and the hospital confirms what it can accept.
Who it’s for
This service is for travelers and people working away from home who need help navigating hospital admission or payment arrangements, as well as insurers and assistance teams coordinating care on their behalf.
If a patient is already at a hospital, its name and city give us a starting point. If a facility has yet to be chosen, our hospital network provides names and addresses you can discuss with your insurer and care team.
How it works
-
Share the starting details
Tell us where the patient is, the facility name if known, and how to reach the insurer or referring assistance team. The public enquiry form is for basic contact and coordination details.
-
Check the hospital’s billing process
We contact the relevant hospital team to clarify the documents it needs and whether it can accept direct billing for the case.
-
Coordinate the insurer’s decision
When the insurer authorizes covered treatment, we help communicate the scope and terms of the guarantee of payment to the hospital.
-
Explain the next steps
We relay the confirmed arrangements and flag any paperwork, deposits or expenses that still need to be addressed.
Countries covered
Our hospital directory covers Southeast Asia. Direct billing depends on the facility, the policy and the insurer’s authorization for the specific case. Ask us to confirm arrangements for the hospital you plan to use.
