Travel Guard Gold
I use Insure My Trip and Travel Guard whenever I take a trip where I feel insurance is necessary. My wife and I are in our 80's, so we are very concerned about making sure we qualify for the existing condition waiver, because if we get sick, it will probably be from a pre-existing condition. However, when I subsequently purchased the air fare for this trip, I forgot to immediately add the cost to the policy, and missed the 15 day purchase requirement. I still added it some 10 days later at a cost of over $400. However, it is my understanding that, because I missed the 15 day purchase requirement, I apparently voided a substantial part of my coverage, particularly the pre-existing condition waiver. And this is after I paid over $3,300 for the trip insurance coverage. This does not seem fair at all to me. I do my best to follow the rules, but void my coverage for a 10 day mistake. I believe that this is an overly restrictive provision. I have just purchased another travel insurance policy for a trip in 2019, but feel that these types of requirements are put in place as a means of denying coverage, which I do not think is fair.
