AXA Assistance USA is part of the AXA Group, one of the world's largest and financial companies servicing over 95 million people worldwide, with over 60 years of experience in the travel insurance industry.
One of the primary reasons for purchasing this plan was because they supposedly provided PRIMARY medical coverage. My husband and I came down with 2 medical issues on a cruise which required seeing the ship’s doctor. When we returned home, I called AXA and requested a claim form (don’t bother sending an email. They will send an acknowledgement but won’t respond otherwise). When I reviewed the claim form, I was shocked to find that this is actually SECONDARY coverage, because coverage is only on an EXCESS BASIS, i.e, they require that you file with your primary insurer first and provide a copy of the primary insurer’s EOB. As I know that my primary insurer will not cover 100% of the medications, it means I have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to receive a very small payout from AXA.
I checked Squaremouth’s website for this same policy, and it states medical coverage is PRIMARY. InsureMyTrip has NO information on this point. Buyer Beware with AXA.

Once the claim got to the right organization, it was processed quickly and promptly. But the email address on insuremytrip.com for submitting a claim was wrong. After several months sitting with no action, the claim was denied (they didn't have the right policy documents), and then they decided it should have been sent to a different claims processor. Once it got there, everything proceeded smoothly.

We apologize for the confusion in filing your claim. After you purchased your policy, American Modern Home insurance Company transferred their claims handling to another company. We apologize for not advising you in a more timely basis.
I got full coverage. Trip interrupted because China officials would not approve our visit, forcing us to divert trip with 2 extra days in hotel and change air plans with loss flights. We were told this is not covered. Such a problem is not specified as yes or no, and I feel this is a way it of paying for something I should have been reimbursed for.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn of the unfortunate event that occurred during your trip.
Comprehensive plans are designed to cover as many risks as possible, but is very rare for any insurance plan to cover all possible risks. The AXA Assistance USA Platinum plan is a Comprehensive plan which covers a wide range of perils and hazards for Travel Delay and Trip Interruption. Unfortunately, it was determined that the event that interrupted your trip did not fall within the scope of Trip Interruption for this specific plan.

Fortunately, we did not need to file a claim, but glad we had it "just in case". We are repeat customers of AXA because we perceive their price/coverage is better than policies from other companies. I especially like the primary medical coverage; no need to file with my insurance company at home before turning to AXA.
