📋 Before You Travel to the US

  1. Download your ID cards — Log in at worldtrips.my.site.com/MemberPortal to access both ID cards (one per person). The second PDF you attached is Divyam's ID card — keep it on your phone or print it.
  2. Save these numbers in your phone:
    • 24/7 Emergency Assistance: 800-605-2282 or 317-262-2132
    • Provider eligibility verification: 844-251-0747
  3. Note your Payer ID: USN01 — providers need this to verify coverage.
  4. Register on the member portal at worldtrips.my.site.com/MemberPortal — this lets you file claims, check claim status, download Explanation of Benefits (EOB), extend coverage, and update info.

🏥 How to Use the Insurance (When You Need a Doctor)

Step 1 — Find an In-Network Doctor

Your plan uses the UnitedHealthcare Options PPO Network. Search for doctors/hospitals at whyuhc.com/worldtrips using your US zip code.

Step 2 — What to Say at the Doctor's Office

Say exactly: "My insurance uses the UnitedHealthcare PPO Network and I found your name listed as a provider on their plan PPO network search listings."
  • Present: Your insurance ID card only
  • Do NOT say: "I have Atlas America Insurance" or "I use WorldTrips" — providers won't recognize these names
  • Do NOT present: The plan brochure, confirmation email, or certificate wording

Step 3 — At the Provider

  • Show your UnitedHealthcare ID card (Divyam's card shows Member ID 603100459698, Health Plan 911-87601-04, Group 76-570032)
  • You pay the $250 deductible first (per person, per policy); after that, coinsurance applies
  • In-network providers typically bill WorldTrips directly

Step 4 — If You Visit an Out-of-Network Provider

You can still see any doctor, but you'll pay more (higher out-of-pocket coinsurance). Save all receipts and bills — you'll need them to file a claim.

📝 How to File a Claim

Online (preferred):
By mail:
  • UnitedHealthCare Global, PO Box 30526, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0526
Submit electronically:
  • Payer ID: USN01
What you'll need for a claim:
  • Completed claimant statement & authorization form
  • All itemized medical bills and receipts
  • Any diagnosis/treatment documentation from the provider
  • Your Certificate # (Takshit: 100459697 / Divyam: 100459698)

🆘 Emergency Situations

Call 800-605-2282 (US) or 317-262-2132 (international) — available 24/7. For serious emergencies, go to the nearest ER first, then notify WorldTrips as soon as possible.

✅ After Your Trip / After Returning to India

  • File any outstanding claims within the claim filing deadline (typically 90 days — check your policy certificate for exact terms)
  • You can check claim status and download EOBs on the member portal
  • If needed, coverage can be extended through the portal before July 31, 2026

Summary: The insurance is already purchased and valid from May 19. No activation is needed. The main things to do before travel are downloading ID cards and saving emergency contact numbers. When in the US, use the UHC PPO network search to find doctors and always present the ID card — never mention "Atlas America" to providers.
