Oct. 6, 2022 Cruise canceled due to death in family. Claim filed Oct. 14, 2022. Claim paid Feb. 2, 2023. First claim submittal included official State Death Certificate listing cause of death (disease) and contributing diseases, hospital it occurred in, and all the other usual DC info., and electronically signed by certifying physician. IMG insisted on additional documentation signed by "Attending Physician", with complete history of onset and treatment of cause of death. I feel this is excessive and intrusive and irrelevant since the DC establishes that the covered reason, Death, was met and documented. All this required Medical Release of Information. Since We live in New England and deceased in Southeast, it was very difficult to obtain the Release from the deceased's, grieving and elderly spouse.
In addition, we had purchased a refundable shore excursion, so it was not included in the Covered Amount or in the claim. Yet, IMG insisted on proof from provider that it was reimbursable and amount of reimbursement. Again, irrelevant to claim and unnecessary hassle.

Terrible customer service! It took over 4 months to get paid on a claim and literally 50+ hours of follow up calls with the company. Hold times were hours long and I received conflicting information. They seemed to do their best NOT to pay me for covered events in my contract - possibly hoping that I would give up. I had to escalate to the CEO in order to get any action. (I also requested help from Insure My Trip and that customer service was great). Be sure to read the contract before buying from this company. There are other companies on this site who might be a better fit. I can't recommend IMG and will never buy from them again.

Thank goodness that I did not need to use the insurance. I like the Insuremytrip app and always use that when traveling.

The plan I chose was, IMHO, very expensive. Like all insurance, you pay for those who do not take care of themselves! However, you have to travel with it, or you are playing Russian roulette.

Picked that plan because my parents wanted the highest coverage options but price was terribly expensive. They would use a cheaper option next time.

Suggestion for improving communications and exceeding customer expectation:
- Send email to your customer(s) re confirmed insurance policy, protocols including contract ID and contact phone number for reference it will go a long way in improving loyalty and trust.
Thanks for listening,

I returned June 8 but I did not receive a reimbursement until September 16. Others in my group had a much quicker response.

I will purchase travel insurance again, very easy to purchase and the price was right. It gave me peace of mine when I was traveling.

Thank you for letting us know about your claim experience. We are very sorry for the delays and multiple communications. Prior to the pandemic, claims were typically processed within 30 days provided that all necessary documentation was sent in. Due to the overwhelming volume of trip cancellations and other claims during the pandemic, the normal processing time for claims has been around 3-4 months over the past year or so with most providers. That time can also be longer if they are waiting for further documentation from you. Things have started to get back to a more manageable volume so we're hopeful claims will get back to a reasonable timeframe.
