Luckily I didn’t need to file any claims but I had peace of mind knowing that if I did, I would be covered.

I highly warn people to NOT get this insurance.
The claim process is fairly simple. Fill in a form, send it along with scans of the documents.
BUT the catch is.

They only make settlements of claims through CHECKS. Yes, you heard that right, checks in the mail.
What is this, are we in the 80s?? Also.... it doesn't matter if you're abroad.

They'll send you a US check, for a US bank, and expect you to somehow cash it in.

So, if you're not living in the USA, then this insurance company is not for you.

Stay away.

Though I didn't use the service, that I was able to get basic medical for a foreign trip at a reasonable price gave me peace of mind.

What we needed as far as coverage. Thankfully no reason to file a claim - always the hope.

This policy gave me all the cover I needed at a very reasonable price. I had a heart attack 20 years ago, with no issues since but I have been paying extortionate UK premiums ever since - until now!

The agent who handled my inquiry back in November was excellent, understood I was on a tight schedule and answered all my questions clearly, steering me to the policy that fit what I needed. Very pleased with the result.

For many years, I have purchased a plan through Global Underwriters Diplomat America when I travel to the United States. The only experience that I have is with purchasing the plan. I have never had to actually use the plan or file a claim.
