Notification of Cases

We will contact you by email to provide details of any assistance case in progress

When we require urgent authorisation we will call you – this could happen at any time 24/7

If we are unable to reach you, we will leave a voicemail message or send an SMS

Should you receive such a message from us, please contact your Assistance Centre of reference (Frankfurt, Geneva, London or Paris) immediately

Medical CasesWhen a member requires medical assistance, International SOS will contact youto give a briefing on the situation providing the following information:

*International SOS staff respect the medical confidentiality of your employees so we may not be able to provide medical details

Patient name and location

Relationship to employee (if applicable)

Medical situation*

Action taken to date and the recommended course of action

Request for any approval required for expenses

Security Cases

These can range from simple requests for information to mass evacuations. Whenever there is a threat to safety of your employees, we will contact you providing:

Employee name(s) and location(s)

Situation details

Advice given and action taken to date

Options available and recommended course of action

Request for any approval required for expenses

Delegated Authority

Delegated Authority means that your company has authorised International SOS to provide specific services without gaining prior approval from you

Usually there is a maximum expenditure associated with Delegated Authority

When this is exceeded we will contact you for additional authorisation

Requesting Authorisation

In rare cases when we are unable to reach an Authorised Person and delay of assistance poses an unacceptable risk to the member concerned, we may decide to render services without additional authorisation

After authorisation is given, we will keep you informed regarding the progress of the case

All external calls to and from International SOS are recorded and as such verbal authorisation is acceptable

The Plan of Action

International SOS will carefully consider all options - medical and security requirements are paramount

The final Plan of Action will be based on our specialists’ medical and/or security recommendations and will represent the safest and most efficient option identified

We will discuss the recommended Plan of Action with you, ensure that you are happy with it and that you are kept updated throughout
