Ultimately, the plan covered what it was supposed to. It took three months of resubmitting documents repeatedly to finally get the claim solved. I would not go out of my way to insure with AXA as dealing with the claim process was not satisfying or timely. We are glad that in the end, they did cover the entire claim.

I filed a claim and was told it would take 30 days. After 30 days I called to ask the status, and was told all agents were not available and that I would receive a call back in 1 hour. About 4 hours later I received a message that they had called. I called back the next day, and was told that they were working on it. The following day, I received 3 emails. The first was totally illiterate with more misspellings than correct. The second recalled the first, and the third was a repeat of the first. I again called in and was told my claim was incomplete. I was then told it would be escalated to management and that I would hear soon. I asked what that time frame was and was told a "minimum" of two days. I asked what the maximum was and was not given an answer. Amount of the claim is minimal, less than 4% of the total for trip interruption. All of the important things are not even covered, since there are "no receipts" such as frequent flyer mile loss, downgrading to coach from first class, etc. Since their was no outlay, there are no receipts and therefore not covered. Not at all satisfied, would never use them again, and will tell everyone I know.

Overall, by having purchased the plan I had peacce of mind if I had a medical issue I would be covered. However, I did not require any medical assistance while traveling so I do not know how the policy would have covered me.

In the further I will purchase the plan again just in case I need it while traveling.

When comparing price and coverage among several providers, I often choose AXA. Will likely choose them again for future trips.

I purchased a plan from AXA Assistance to cover everything, cancel for any reason, terrorism, medical reasons, etc. I was unable to go on my trip due to medical reasons, so I filed a claim. I had my physician fill out their form, and I faxed in the paperwork immediately with all the other requested information. They sent me an email saying they received my fax and to wait 30 days before expecting a response. Really? I waited 30 days, called and spoke with a representative that was very contrite, and told me I would hear from someone soon. Another week went by, so I called back and was told again that someone would reach out to me. The next day I received an email from a claims adjuster that my medical form was not correct. The physician said I was unable to travel from the time of my clinic appointment to the present day, which was the case. So I had to call again and ask why that was not correct. Again, the representative was very polite. At this point I was very angry. I asked what I was supposed to have the physician state on the form? I was told that there can't be an open date. Several times on these calls I pointed out that I purchased a policy that covered "cancellation for any reason" so I didn't understand why this was taking so long as I had a valid reason. I accused them of dragging their feet so that they wouldn't have to pay the claim. Twice I had representatives ask me if I changing my claim filing under "cancellation for any reason." I was reluctant to start the process over as much time had already passed.
I sent in the correct form from my physician with a finite date, that ended when the tour ended. Apparently that is their policy, but no one informed me before. Why didn't the claims adjuster just state their policy? And why do they need a finite date for medical reasons? I faxed in the updated forms with a letter that stated I was going to notify the state insurance commission, as well as post negative reviews on every social media site I was able. I received a confirmation the next day via email that my claim was approved. They sent me a check, but it took at least two weeks.
I would NOT recommend this company. As I stated, I really felt as though I was given the run around so as to delay or avoid payment of my claim.

Bought the insurance in good faith including car rental coverage. Claim was denied even though completely legitimate documentation was provided.

Then my InsureMyTrip advocate intervened. They enabled more dialog with the insurance carrier and eventually the claim was processed fairly. Two thumbs up for InsureMyTrip.
