Local, tailor-made benefits
“Swiss Life Medica Bolivar” provides access to services through its medical network of over 5,000 providers and/or through out-of-network providers. Primary care services are delivered by its own medical centres. Second medical opinions are available, as well as travel insurance and 24/7 medical guidance through its Telefono Verde contact centre.

Access to services
For primary care, plan members may self-refer to a specialist, either in-network or out-of-network, at full benefit, without first obtaining a referral from a primary care provider. For basic coverages, insureds may visit a doctor in the Seguros Bolivar medical network, or an out-of-network provider, in which case reimbursement applies. A clause outlining reasonable and customary charges* applies to all medical procedures that are reimbursed.

* Charges determined to be normal for a particular medical procedure in a specific geographic area. If charges are higher than what the insurer considers normal, the full amount will not be paid by the insurer and the balance is the responsibility of the insured.
