No one will probably ever read this review because the company obviously "curates" the reviews. If they are like may sites that self-publish reviews it is possible that fake reviews have been posted. Just ask yourself the question: Why would anyone write a review for one-time insurance they never used? Makes no sense. Some sites give you the option of showing the reviews with claims and they are rarely five stars.
Also, you may buy the policy from John Hancock which has a great reputation but the claims are actually processed by some company you've never heard in the midwest, like Seven Corners (check them on Yelp). So it is actually impossible to read see reviews for the company that actually processes the claims. Once you have made a claim and obtain the name of the claims processor if you go to Yelp and find an overall 1 Star rating and hundreds of horror stories about the claims process. In my experience claim will take 2 to 3 months if you're lucky and possibly never if they invoke the numerous loopholes in these policies.
Then you have another layer of websites like this one that publish "ratings" for companies they represent and articles from Forbes and other sources they pay for the media"reviews". Notice they are all five stars. Finally, you have google who is only going to display positive reviews and information provided by their paying customers, the insurance agent, insurance companies and the hidden companies that you actually deal with if you have a claim. Also note that although you can post a review for your local insurance agent on google there is no option of posting an unedited review for this site, John Hancock or other insurance companies on google, interesting...
Hopefully, the people that review these reviews will find this one worthy. However, I suspect they will be laughing with their workmates as they hit the delete button!

MEDEX
Take Me Home - Single-Trip
I talked with some travelers on the trip who had to file a claim on a previous occasion, and they assured me that everything had gone smoothly, so I felt confident in the coverage.

MedEvac Annual Plan
I had to file a claim for some minor medical expenses. It took too long and they wanted denials from my domestic health insurance, but waited weeks to ask. I protested through Insure My Trip that Medicare and United Health care don't cover such things and that I should not have to actually file claims based on this common knowledge. I was eventually reimbursed, but they took forever, even farming out translations of simple documents that they ought to be able to do in house.

The trip included a
cruise
On Call International
Single Trip
Did get injured, but I believe plan only covered MedEvac, not stepping on glass in Amsterdam. Only $150 for tetanus shot, antibiotics and MD care on boat. Cheaper than ER here.
How can I evaluate something I did not use? Also don't know really if price was good.
