Had to cancel our trip due to medical reasons. We received a partial settlement in two weeks for the land portion of the trip. Not bad! We were issued airline credits directly from the airline. However, we had purchased seat upgrades which were not reimbursed by Delta. Trying to get the last $189.98 from this insurance company was like pulling teeth, at best. Picture the most frustrating, mind-boggling experience you could have with a company. Don't expect to ever speak to a claims rep. CLAIM REPS DON'T TAKE PHONE CALLS! The CSRs who answer the phone are pleasant enough, but will put you on hold forever and then tell you they can't transfer you to anyone who is actually handling your claim. Are you kidding? Not only don't they take phone calls, apparently they never read their email or look at a claim file. They do, however, send the most ridiculous emails saying they need more information from you, or a provider, to process your claim but they don't say what they require. Who do you require it from? What? If you send them an email, you will get an automated reply.
Do yourself a favor and shave your head before you try to submit a claim to these people. It will be much less traumatic than pulling your hair out every time you have to deal with them.
Oh and by the way, I worked in Claims for many years, so I know what decent service is. This company does not have it.
Good luck if you have to actually argue an issue like a pre-existing condition or have a large dollar claim. I can't even imagine the runaround you will get.
I stopped counting after 12 phone calls and 14 emails. In the end, it took me just over 5 months to get the last lousy $189.
Also, side note....Saying a company has a 4.5 star rating is very misleading when most of the reviews say, "I'm so glad I didn't need to make a claim." How about having a separate rating for people who actually did make a claim???!!! Sorry, if that exists somewhere, but I didn't find it.
Amy E. would not
recommend this plan to a friend or relative.
