I purchased the plan after I made the final payment on a 32 day cruise. I wanted to protect the cost of the cruise ($70K)) in case one of our elderly parents became ill that might make us need to cancel the trip. But on the cruise, I caught an upper respiratory infection that turned into acute bronchitis. I ended up needing multiple visits to the ship’s doctor which resulted in $5400 bill. My Medicare supplement includes 80% coverage outside of the US. After I was reimbursed the 80%, I filed with Berkshire Hathaway for the remaining 20% and they covered it. I didn’t purchase the policy for the medical coverage but I sure was happy that it included it. It’s coverage was secondary because I did not purchase the policy when I made my initial deposit. Filing was straight forward via their website.
They have a checklist of all documentation required so there was no communication needed after I sent in the package. It did take a couple of months for reimbursement as I filed during Covid-19 pandemic.
I plan to use this company for all future travel that I want to insure. Their price for coverage was much less than that offered by the cruise line. Next time I plan to purchase it when I make my initial trip deposit.
I feel confident in purchasing from this company and highly recommend it.
