Seven Corners Liaison Travel Basic
Did not file any claims. Our trip went well and had no need. Insurance is always a bit confusing to me (my issue not Seven Corners) I would use Seven corners.

Thanks

Seven Corners Liaison Travel Basic
First, I will state that Seven Corners paid a claim in 4 figures for me for a trip to Costa Rica; however, securing payment was a lengthy process requiring effort and persistence on my part. I submitted all required documentation within a week of my return. Two months passed without processing; I was told they were behind schedule, and new staff were being hired and trained.

After 3 months, I contacted them and was told there was a delay because dates on the medical bill didn't match. Well, yes, one was the date of service, and one was the date the bill was prepared. My customer service rep understood Spanish and recognized the issue immediately; but for an international insurance company, I'd expect the processing department not to miss basic details like this.

A week later, my claim was processed... for a total of 3 dollars. The processors had assumed I paid my bill in Costa Rican colones, when I had paid in U.S. dollars. Again, this seemed fairly clear from my documentation. If there was any uncertainty, why not reach out to me to confirm? Instead I needed to request another escalation.

This required several calls over several weeks. I was on hold at times for up to 30 minutes. I eventually was referred to a supervisor and promised a callback. When we finally did connect, I was told my claim would be paid in full. I received my payment about 4 months after filing.

As a solo international traveler, I depend on low-cost insurance plans, which I hope never to use, but if I do have to, I hope for a swift response that doesn't put a damper on my travel experience. Based on my experience with Seven Corners, I will not be using them again.

GeoBlue Trekker Essential
My husband died suddenly while we were vacationing in Costa Rica. I called GeoBlue and they were MOST helpful every step of the way. They assisted with the transport of the body to the funeral home, made all the arrangements necessary for them. GeoBlue also provided a name at the US Embassy as my contact person who took care of the death certificate and the mortuary passport for the remains to be brought back to the United States. I do not believe I could have done all of this without the help and support of GeoBlue and have recommended them to all my family and friends.

GeoBlue Trekker Choice
Fortunately, as with so many reviewers, we did not have to file a claim on this trip. However, with other international trips coming up this year and no medical coverage abroad from our Medicare Supplemental, this seemed like a wise choice. The agent was very helpful and friendly as well.

AIG Travel Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
I want to rate the plan and my satisfaction a 5, but am uncomfortable doing so without having to file a claim.I would feel better qualified to give a 5 star rating that may influence the decisions of others if I had implemented the plan as presented. I would definitely recommend not traveling without extra insurance especially if someone is traveling outside their native country. The plan I chose had everything I was looking for and I was pleased with the price. Having the extra insurance definitely gave me peace of mind while traveling.

AIG Travel Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
I did not have to use the plan even though I was stung by a scorpion. It was not poisonous and even though we met with an ambulance, I was not charged. I am now in Florida staying with my younger son and his wife for a month, I am fine. Thanks for enquirering.
