Seven Corners Claim Guide (Japan)

Last updated: 2026-03-05

This page explains a practical reimbursement workflow for Seven Corners after a medical visit in Japan.

Plan/admin note: Some plans are administered by a different claims administrator (for example, EF Tours plans are handled by Broadspire). Always follow the claim instructions linked in your policy confirmation or plan page.

Quick overview (30 seconds)

  1. Collect documents in Japan (receipt + itemized statement + any visit notes)
  2. Log in to your Seven Corners account and choose File a Claim
  3. Upload receipts/reports and complete the required “proof of loss” information
  4. Track updates in your account (and by email)

Seven Corners notes that you can log into your account, select “File a Claim,” and follow the upload instructions.

Step 1 — Before you leave the clinic: get the “3-document set”

For medical reimbursement, try to secure what you can realistically obtain the same day:

  1. Receipt (proof of payment)
  2. Itemized statement (Japan: 明細書 / 診療明細書)
  3. Any visit summary / test results / prescription information (photos are fine)

Japan tip: A “formal doctor’s certificate” can be costly and may take time. Start with receipt + itemized statement first, then add extra medical documentation only if the claims advisor requests it.

Step 2 — Start the claim online (recommended)

Seven Corners’ claim workflow is built around their account portal:

  • Log in to your Seven Corners account
  • On the welcome screen, find your plan
  • Select File a Claim and follow the prompts for documentation and upload

Their self-service guidance also frames the process as: gather your receipts/reports and complete the required “proof of loss” details.

Step 3 — Upload documents (make it easy to approve)

When you upload, focus on clarity:

  • One file per page (no blur, full page visible)
  • File naming that matches your timeline (example):
    2026-03-05_ClinicName_itemized_JPY12800_p1.jpg
    2026-03-05_ClinicName_receipt_JPY12800.jpg

What to upload first (medical claims):

  • Receipt(s) and itemized statement(s)
  • Any medical notes you received (or a simple visit summary)
  • Pharmacy receipts / medication lists (if claiming them)

Step 4 — If you’re asked to “describe what happened”

Some claim portals (or phone agents) ask for a short incident/loss/illness description. Keep it factual (2–5 sentences).

Short (2 sentences)

On [date], the insured person [name] visited [provider, city, Japan] for [illness/injury]. I paid [amount] JPY and am requesting reimbursement; supporting documents are attached.

Standard (4–5 sentences)

On [date], the insured person [name] developed [symptoms/condition] and visited [provider name, city, Japan]. The visit involved [consultation/tests/medication]. I paid [amount] JPY at the time of service and am requesting reimbursement for these medical expenses. Supporting documents (receipt, itemized statement, and any available medical notes/records) are attached. No third party was responsible for this incident.

Step 5 — Track status (and watch for advisor messages)

Seven Corners states you’ll receive updates by email, and that claim status updates are also available in your account. They also describe an enhanced “Claim Tracker” experience with status, advisor messages, and a document library once processing begins.

Alternate submission methods (if you can’t file online)

Seven Corners lists multiple contact / submission channels, including fax and mail, plus text and WhatsApp support windows (Mon–Fri).

Privacy note (PHI) — why you might need a form

If someone else (friend/family) needs to call about your claim status, Seven Corners notes that protected health information (PHI) rules can require a PHI disclosure/authorization.
