Fortunately we never had to file a claim, but knowing we had the insurance at a reasonable cost was comforting for peace of mind. Especially as we booked and paid for the travel more than 9 months in advance of the trip departure.

We filed a claim when one of our travel companions was seriously injured (precluding travel for 3-4 months) approx 2 months prior to our trip departure. As a result of that injury, we cancelled our trip. As our travel companions were not relatives it was critical that we were able to document that our injured friend was a "travel companion" as that is a term specifically defined in the policy. Once our claim was filed, our insurer was professional & courteous in all regards and fully paid our claim approximately 4 weeks after our claim was submitted. Based on our experience, AXA is a first class, professional operation in all regards. We will never travel again without an insurance policy from AXA.

The service was somewhat slow because of my confusion as to where to send the claim. But I am satisfied with the outcome. I think the company was fair and I will recommend this service to anyone in the future.

Overall the AXA Assistance USA Gold plan was very good and fairly priced. We had a luggage claim which was handled to our satisfaction. However, the processing time was slower than expected.

We had to cancel our trip, but our claim was processed promptly after all the required documents were provided. I rebooked the trip for next year, will use the same plan again.

Platinum
The AXA Platinum plan provided the best mix of trip and medical protection of the many I had to choose from on InsureMyTrip. My only complaint is the lackluster level of response I got from their customer service and claims department when I filed a medical claim.
My wife passed out and was unresponsive for several minutes on one of our first days of the trip. At a doctor's suggestion we took her to an International Medical Clinic location in Beijing. There they performed many tests and gave her a saline drip and pills to take after leaving the clinic. The charge was just under $1,700. I had the clinic call the AXA claims number at the time of service and they were advised that I should pay the bill and submit the claim once I returned home. That was OK with me. I then e-mailed the AXA claims department to summarize the incident and ask for directions on how to process the claim. I got no response, so several days later I resent the e-mail and finally received a reply with instructions for claim filing.
The day after returning home I filled out the required forms and sent all the information via USPS Priority Mail to AXA. I also sent an e-mail telling them to expect the claim and asking them to let me know when it arrived and if any additional information was needed. They received the claim on 9/23/15 but did not notify me that it had arrived. I followed up with another e-mail on 10/5/15 to ask for a status report. I was finally notified by e-mail on 10/13/15 that the claim had been received and on 10/16/15 that it had been approved. So, AXA honored the claim as they should have and all is well from a reimbursement point of view.
My complaint is the unresponsiveness of the claims department. All e-mails from a customer should be acknowledged within 24 hours if to do nothing else than to say that they were aware of the claim and the e-mail. Once a claim is received the customer should be notified within 24 hours and given some idea of what to expect in terms of processing time. To wait to acknowledge receipt of a claim for several weeks in unacceptable. Claimants want to know that documents have been received and the status of processing their claim. I can't believe this would be burdensome for AXA and would be of a real benefit to the customer.
All's well that ends well. I just hope that AXA can improve their customer response procedures. A claim may be a small thing for them but a big thing to the client.

Seemed like good coverage, but since I didn't file a claim there's no telling if it was good.
