The process took 3mos to resolve and was straight forward for "trip interruption”. After submitting the claim I received 2 more emails requesting the same information again or information that was not germane to "trip interruption”. Medical bills associated with the reason for the "trip interruption" were under my medical insurance. Nationwide would have been secondary IF I had claimed medical - which I did not. It took a phone call to raise a flag that I had no additional info that I hadn’t already provided for “trip interruption”. IMHO the process is too onerous to the point of hoping I would just give up. In the end, I received the EOB’s and checks for “trip interruption” that resulted from me suffering a concussion that required 10 staples in the back of my head in the ER and a 2nd ER visit a day later, after I arrived home due to worsening/related medical issues and not being able to complete the last 5 days of an 11 day tour.

the far fact that I could not talk with a person in claims is absolutely stupid.

My plane was delayed by weather and I missed a part of my tour in Nashville. I was disappointed that the insurance did not cover the tour that I missed that was not my fault.

My husband got a bad cold on our bicycling trip and couldn't continue, because you have to cycle point to point, and he couldn't breathe. We had to leave the trip early and return home. Upon reading our policy after returning home, he would have had to visit a doctor in order to receive compensation from this insurance policy.

Insurance is a must to have as a back up plan in case we were exposed to COVID
