Having not used the plan, I'm assuming that if I needed the coverage, it was there to help us through any life events. Peace of mind means a lot.

Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
When traveling abroad, it is essential to have insurance for medical expenses or medical evacuation, which are not covered by Medicare and most health insurance. On a trip to Turkey, a woman in our group had appendicitis. She did not have travel insurance. She had only Medicare and a secondary health insurance plan, neither of which covered any expenses outside the U.S. She could not afford to pay for an air ambulance to have surgery back in the U.S. So she had surgery in Istanbul. Her adult daughter stayed with her, and paid out of pocket hotel room and restaurant meals while her mother was in the hospital. They had to pay up front for her medical care and hospitalization. Presumably they had to pay a high airfare home when she was well enough to travel. I always buy travel insurance. My credit card (co-branded with an airline's frequent flyer program) covers trip cancellation and interruption when I charge flights, hotels, cruises, etc. to that card (even if it's a different airline). However, that credit card does not cover medical treatments, hospitalization, or evacuation to the U.S. in case of illness or accident. This AIG Travel Guard MedEvac Plan is very reasonably priced and covers that gap including expenses for a traveling companion. Thankfully my companion and I have not needed medical treatment while traveling, but having this coverage gives us peace of mind.

Your plan was more reasonable than the one offered by the cruise line with better coverage. I will use you again for our upcoming cruise.

Never having a need to make a claim I can’t tell whether the insurance is of any value but knowing it was available was reassuring.

my granddaughter got food poisoning at an all inclusive. i was reimbursed for medical expenses, but our trip was interrupted for 3 days while we had to stay in our room due to her illness. She was unable to eat. This policy would not consider this a trip interruption because we left on the day we were scheduled to. But we lost 3 days of an all inclusive vacation.

Although we are pleased you received reimbursement of your medical expense, we can certainly understand your frustration to hear that your Trip Interruption claim was denied. However, your Trip interruption claim was fairly denied because it did not meet the terms of your Travel Guard Gold plan which on page 7 of your certificate states:
Trip Interruption Benefits: The Company will reimburse the
Insured up to the Maximum Limit shown in the Schedule or
Declarations Page for Trips that are interrupted due to the Unforeseen events shown above for:
(a) Unused portion of nonrefundable, prepaid insured Trip Cost, and
(b) additional transportation expenses incurred by the Insured, either
(1) to the Return Destination; or
(2) from the place that the Insured left the Trip to the place that the Insured may rejoin the Trip; or
(c) additional transportation expenses incurred by the Insured to reach the original Trip Destination if the Insured is delayed and leaves after the Departure Date..."
