Emergencies<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a Host Family, you should handle your Au Pair’s illnesses, accidents, or medical emergencies in the same way you would for other family members.\u00a0If your Au Pair has a legal or serious medical problem, notify your Community Counselor. If your Community Counselor is not available and you cannot wait for their return, call the 24-hour emergency service at 1-800-928-7247<\/strong><\/span>.<\/h4>\n

If your au pair is feeling ill, please err on the side of caution and encourage her not to wait to see a doctor.\u00a0 She has insurance and depending on her insurance plan, can request reimbursement from your insurance company to help defray the costs.\u00a0 Below is a list of medical facilities in our area that take First Health Network Insurance<\/strong>. The centers listed below do not require an appointment, so you can simply walk-in and wait to be seen. Please advise her take her CISI First Network Health insurance card and her DC Driver\u2019s License or ID.\u00a0 After she has been treated\u00a0 she MUST ask for discharge papers<\/b> explaining what she was seen for and a receipt showing what you\/she paid (for instance a co-pay). If the doctor prescribed medication, she MUST ask the doctor to give you\/her a copy of the order he\/she will submit to the pharmacy even if they say they will send it \u201cthrough the system\u201d you\/she always want to have a copy for yourself.\u00a0 Keep the receipt of any medication from the pharmacy so you can fill out a form to request a reimbursement of the expenses. If you as the host family paid for the visit “out of pocket” your au pair can fill out the reimbursement claim form and add a note that the reimbursement check should be paid out to you and include your full name and address.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
