Min-Sheng General Hospital and HTH Worldwide/GeoBlue enter direct billing agreement

Min-Sheng General Hospital and HTH Worldwide/GeoBlue have entered an agreement that will enable HTH Worldwide/GeoBlue members to enjoy cashless services for emergency treatment and hospitalization in Taiwan. HTH Worldwide/GeoBlue is an American Insurance company that proposes two different insurance plans – HTH Worldwide for university students, and GeoBlue for expatriates and business travelers.  

 
HTH Worldwide/GeoBlue selected Min-Sheng General Hospital as a member of its provider network based on the hospital’s strong reputation dealing with international patients and its strategic location in northern Taiwan. Min-Sheng General Hospital has entered similar agreements with many international insurance companies.  

Min-Sheng General Hospital and UnitedHealthcare International enter direct billing agreement

Min-Sheng General Hospital and UnitedHealthcare International have entered an agreement that will enable UnitedHealthcare’ Global Solutions members to enjoy cashless services for emergency treatment and hospitalization in Taiwan. UnitedHealthcare is one of the largest private health insurers in America, but only recently introduced a policy integrating medical, wellness, and employee assistance programs for international assignees. It has opened an office in Beijing and pitches its Global Solutions program to international companies with staff based in, or often traveling to the Greater China Region. UnitedHealthcare is also developing a network of preferred-providers to service its members in the region and it chose Min-Sheng General Hospital to be one of its first contracted partners in Taiwan.

Min-Sheng General Hospital has acquired a strong reputation dealing with international patients and has entered similar agreements with many insurance companies. Yet, this agreement is particular in that it allows for members based in China to choose to have medical treatment or services (like the yearly preventive health screenings often offered as incentive to personnel deployed overseas) at Min-Sheng General Hospital in Taiwan, even if they are not based in Taiwan, after eligibility has been confirmed.

Aetna International members now enjoy cashless outpatient treatment at Min-Sheng General Hospital.

Beginning November 1, 2010, patients participating in Aetna International and GoodHealth/China Life’s health plans will enjoy cashless handling of their outpatient treatment at Min-Sheng General Hospital. Aetna members who present a valid membership card and identification will now have their healthcare costs billed directly to Aetna for treatment of less than US $500. Patients will still be responsible for the co-payment as stipulated in their policy, and certain items are not-covered by this agreement.

Until now only hospitalization and charges of more than US$500 were covered by a billing agreement (after pre-authorization); for general outpatient treatment Aetna members had to settle the bill first and claim reimbursement from the insurer. Because of Min-Sheng General Hospital’s proximity to The Taoyuan International Airport, this service convenience is of particular interest to those among the increasing number of Mainland Chinese tourists visiting Taiwan who are Aetna members through China Life.

Atlas Expatriate Benefit members in Taiwan include employees of multinational corporations, large hotel chains, legal firms, and foreign embassies.
