One of the primary reasons for purchasing this plan was because they supposedly provided PRIMARY medical coverage. My husband and I came down with 2 medical issues on a cruise which required seeing the ship’s doctor. When we returned home, I called AXA and requested a claim form (don’t bother sending an email. They will send an acknowledgement but won’t respond otherwise). When I reviewed the claim form, I was shocked to find that this is actually SECONDARY coverage, because coverage is only on an EXCESS BASIS, i.e, they require that you file with your primary insurer first and provide a copy of the primary insurer’s EOB. As I know that my primary insurer will not cover 100% of the medications, it means I have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to receive a very small payout from AXA.
I checked Squaremouth’s website for this same policy, and it states medical coverage is PRIMARY. InsureMyTrip has NO information on this point. Buyer Beware with AXA.

Not super responsive or helpful when we got sick. Decided not to claim as a result.

Once the claim got to the right organization, it was processed quickly and promptly. But the email address on insuremytrip.com for submitting a claim was wrong. After several months sitting with no action, the claim was denied (they didn't have the right policy documents), and then they decided it should have been sent to a different claims processor. Once it got there, everything proceeded smoothly.

We apologize for the confusion in filing your claim. After you purchased your policy, American Modern Home insurance Company transferred their claims handling to another company. We apologize for not advising you in a more timely basis.Dec 15,2018

Fortunately, we did not need to file a claim, but glad we had it "just in case". We are repeat customers of AXA because we perceive their price/coverage is better than policies from other companies. I especially like the primary medical coverage; no need to file with my insurance company at home before turning to AXA.

A week before leaving on a 3 week trip to Japan I suffered an accident that required surgery and was obliged to cancel the trip. Everyone I spoke to prior to filing the claim was delightful and helpful. The forms were not difficult to fill out nor was the supporting documentation that is required unreasonable. The claim was promptly acknowledged and processed within the stated timeframe (about 30 days). Payment will be prompt and comprehensive. I am very highly satisfied and would recommend this plan. It is a good value for the cost and allows me to rebook the trip next year.

I truly cannot say how good or bad the plan was since I, fortunately, did not have to use it.
