AXA Assistance USA Gold
Never could get answers on coverages. I was trying to help my husband in the hospital, and all the plan cared about was getting my husband out of the hospital. I asked that they guarantee coverage, but was told no one to translate with billing, which was not true and made us wait for 3 hours to get a bill, only to find out only a part was guaranteed. Further, they undermined my attempt to get a bill with itemized procedures by telling the hospital that it should be given to AXA, not me. In the end they were not an advocate and my husband was discharged too early, only to end back in hospital on arrival in USA.
Tying to file a claim once in the US was nearly impossible. The AXA claim adjuster never returned my calls, and rarely answered any questions I put to him on his voice mail, If it were not for InsureMyTrip, I would still be trying to get claims filed and processing questions answered. The claims adjuster claimed that his voice mail did not work, but I sincerely question that his voice mail was continually broken from the beginning of January until the beginning of March. If it was, what good is it to have a claims adjuster who never calls you back? Many thanks to IMT for there vigilance!

I believe returning customers using the same plan and company should be given a discount.

    Thank you for your feedback. Due to insurance regulations we are not able to offer a discount for returning customers. We value your business and hope you will consider an AXA Travel Insurance policy for all your future travel needs.

I had medical treatment during our trip. I informed AXA before we got home and received a claim form. I filled it out and sent documentation (not difficult) and within a week I was informed that my claim was approved and I would receive a check within 2 weeks. Great service!

I had to cancel my trip. I ripped up my knee. I just got confirmation from AXA that I would receive a check for the full amount of the cost of the trip. I am looking forward to receiving my check. It was quite timely on their part. I would definitely recommend them and use them for my next trip.

Amazingly quick coverage with no hassle. We had to cancel the entire trip due to a medical emergency. Our entire trip was refunded quickly without any back and forth.

Due to a personal tragedy at home my wife and I interrupted a cruise and returned home at the next port. The claim form and related documentation requested by AXA Assistance USA was emailed to their claims office on December 9th. On December 14th, I received an email from the claims adjuster confirming approval of the claim and that the payment check would be received in 10 to 15 business days. Based on my experience I would highly recommend this company.

We had to cancel our trip at least 8 months before. I thought we would be able to get all our money back, but we were not.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. After cancelling your trip, you contacted AXA Assistance USA to cancel your travel insurance policy. The AXA Assistance USA Gold plan for residents of Illinois has a 10 day free look period, "You may cancel insurance under the Policy by giving Us or Our Administrator written notice within 10 days from the Effective Date. If You do this, We will refund Your premium paid provided You have not filed a claim under the Policy."

    Unfortunately, your request to cancel the policy came outisde of the 10 day free look period so you were unable to receive a full refund of premium. However, AXA Assistance USA provided a pro-rated refund of premium under the following clause, "You have the right to cancel the Policy at any time by giving advance notice to Our Agent or Us (stating when thereafter the cancellation shall be effective). We will refund any unearned premium to You within 10 days of cancellation."

    Please call us at 1-800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.

AXA Assistance USA Silver
The insurance was fine, but the costs are based upon age (which is the only easy thing you can base it on). So for us, who are in very good health and physical shape for our age (which allows us to do bicycling vacations around the world), the price seems unfairly high. But I realize that you can't do a complete medical evaluation on your customers.

Satisfaction rating is not really accurate as we had, fortunately, no issues during our trip.
