I did not use the service, but the plan premium seemed reasonable for the potential benefits.

While we didn't need medical coverage, it was nice to have it in our pocket. Peace of mind.

My wife and I were on a week-long birding trip. She had her left wrist in a cast, and we were a little concerned if something happened, a fall, for instance, she would need to get specialized care. The only coverage we needed was emergency evacuation, and MEDEX coverage fit the bill for us, and gave us a bit of peace of mind. Thankfully, we didn't need to use the service, but it was good to have, nonetheless.

No problems on trip but was relieved that if I needed the medical coverage it was there. One of the families on the cruise did experience a death of one of their group. I hope that they had coverage to lessen the burden they went through.

MEDEX TravMed Choice Outbound
Toward the end of my trip I became pretty sick. We were in a far flung place, so I asked the tour guide to call his company and tell them I wanted to return home. (They had my insurance information.) I was told that I could sign off the tour and I'd then be on my own. I was way too ill to handle anything myself, and there was no phone access.
So all I could do was stay in bed alone for the rest of the trip.
My question is this: if one is really ill, as i was, then just how is one meant to contact the insurance company and arrange to be helped?

This was a "just in case" policy to cover anything I might need. Fortunately, I didn't need to file a claim
