We had to file a claim. We were on a cruise and my husband needed medical assistance. I called the number with the policy (the ship provided a phone line), and the rep could confirm we had a policy but not guarantee specific coverage. I get it--they're not claim adjustors. He gave me the number of someone else, who did the same. So I didn't get the confirmation/explanation I was looking for, but went ahead and hoped for the best.
Great results: filing was easy. Did everything on line when I got home. Glad I had purchased the policy shortly after we booked the trip because I didn't have to worry about the pre-existing conditions clause. (Wouldn't have applied, but didn't want any possible snags.) Got an email from Nationwide saying they had received the claim within a day. Two weeks later I have a check mailed to us for the full amount of the medical charges. (And medical charges on a ship are EXPENSIVE!) I wish their website would have been able to give an update, but I can live with that. I would buy from them again!

I had to visit the Medical Center onboard the ship. The charge was approximately $300. I was able to file a claim online while I was still on the ship. Within two weeks I was reimbursed for the total amount. Very pleased with the process to file a claim.

It is hard to answer these questions as I did not have a claim.

I paid extra $1,300 for my flight from London to Manila with Air China because my original flight with Shenzhen Airlines ($999) was postponed for the next day. It was a Sunday, their office was closed, have tried calling them, I even went to the airport but Shenzhen Air didn't have any representative there. I wanted to explain to them that I won't make it to my connecting flight in Bao'an China if I take their postponed flight.
Nationwide paid only $600 for the new flight that I paid after Shenzhen messed up everything for mine and my husband's flight.

I purchased the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan as travel insurance coverage for my trip to Portugal. The process to obtain travel insurance was simple and convenient. Thankfully, I did not need to file a claim, but I felt good knowing I had coverage in the event of an incident.
