Claims and pre-authorisation
Members must contact Optimum Global before planned inpatient or day-case treatment. In an emergency, the membership guide asks for contact as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of admission. A Guarantee of Payment can allow settlement with the provider; other eligible claims require satisfactory proof. Optimum says it aims to assess claims within 14 working days—this is a target, not an observed average.
Entity and evidence boundary
The policy documentation identifies Optimum Global Insurance Company Limited, a Guernsey insurer, as issuer and describes AXA PPP healthcare reinsurance. Optimum Global Limited is FCA-regulated for insurance mediation. Exact eligibility, area, limits, exclusions and underwriting depend on the current schedule and chosen Gem guide.
