I submitted a claim for our trip because I was injured on the journey AND our flight home was canceled.
We had medical bills and additional flight and hotel bills incurred due to the cancellation. Nationwide has fought me every step of the way, requesting the same documentation OVER AND OVER, they don't want to pay the claim and I will NEVER use them again.

I didn't need this plan but I felt confident that if I did, I would've been sufficiently covered.

The comfort of knowing that in an emergency I would have coverage needed for my special medical situation made my trip even more spectacular! The help I got with choosing the appropriate plan and the most cost efficient was awesome!

A friend purchased the plan for the same trip for less than half my price. What affects the cost? Perhaps more detail when purchasing would have let me know.

I got sick just a few days after the "review period" was over, and tried to cancel the policy, since I would NOT be taking the trip. This happened the first week of Sep. The canceled trip was for Nov 1. I could not get a penny back. Emailed several times. $472 gone! If you might get sick, you must do it within ten days of purchasing the plan. No sympathy. Ridiculous!

Overall the process is simple to navigate, but slow due to the excusive email approach. There should be a phone number easily accessible to provide a more person service.

I'm glad I did not have to use the plan not sure how hard it would be but it's nice to know there is some help if things went south
