Took 6 months and multiple call attempts after filing a claim to finally get a denial for an emergency root canal for sudden nerve pain despite the policy saying dental is covered for “Unexpected pain or Treatment due to an Accident”. I even emailed to pre-certify and they responded that dental didn’t need pre-authorization. Regardless of the decision this was absolutely terrible service - 6 months without any response! Stay away from IMG.

Since I didn't have the need, thank goodness, to use this insurance I wouldn't be a person to rate how well or not well they were in handling any claims.

Did not have to use, but nice knowing I didn't have to worry. I wasn't happy that I had booked a tour for Sydney back in August but I forgot to add it to my insurance and it was going to cost me $200. to add just before I left. Thankfully I didnt have to cancel and it was only $190.00 tour. Might think twice about that next time I have to have Travel Insurance. And I had proof that I had book when I purchased my insurance. When you have a booking way in advance it is hard to think of everything. I think you should be more lenient in that respect.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to our request. We certainly agree that it is difficult to recall every item if you book way in advance. However, in that event, you may add additional trip expenses after you purchase a policy. We suggest that you call us within 10-21 days (policy specific) of adding the additional expenses so we can re-quote your policy and add the trip cost onto your existing policy.Jan 28,2020

I didn't need to file a claim, so I am unable to comment on customer service and timeliness of reimbursement.

We learned a lesson 7 years ago in Australia-always get primary medical if you are on Medicare. InsureMyTrip has always been soooo help in recommending the policy with the coverage we need.

The policy was easy to purchase and amend as additional costs were planned.
I recommend this coverage without reservation.

The coverage on this policy meets my expectations. I have insured with IMG on several occasions through InsureMyTrip. Fortunately, I have not had to file a claim or use the insurance coverage so I cannot provide an assessment of my satisfaction.

Unfortunately, I had to go to a hospital emergency room because of a lingering illness while traveling in Australia. After returning home, I called I Travel Insured to report the claim and get the claims process started. Their claim process was straightforward and easy, especially because I had all the needed documentation from the hospital and doctor and proof of payment. The claim was paid in less than 4 weeks after submission. In addition, a couple of items that were not paid were clearly explained to me in a letter that I received a week before I received the check. The reasons for denial were fair and seemed to comply with the policy. But the majority of the medical claim was paid with no additional follow up needed. I was and am extremely happy with their service. Through the years, I have had to file two other medical claims with different travel insurers. One was for myself and the other for my husband. By far, I Travel Insured's claims process, communication and prompt payment was heads above the other two companies. I highly recommend using this insurance and have just purchased another insurance policy with them for an upcoming trip.

i have a question going forward. If a cruise line went out of business would this policy respond. Especially if the fees were paid in advance. Thanks, GG

Although the coverage may be provided by this plan, the iTravelInsured SE plan only provides Financial Default under Trip Cancellation if you purchased this plan within 20 days of your initial trip payment:
"Trip Cancellation -
Benefits will be paid up to the Maximum Benefit Amount purchased to cover an Insured for the non-refundable Published Penalties and prepaid expenses for Travel Arrangements when an Insured is prevented from taking his or her Covered Trip due to:
---
6. Bankruptcy or Default of an airline, cruise line, tour operator, or Travel Supplier (other than the tour operator or travel agency from whom the Insured purchased their Travel Arrangements) which stops service more than 14 days following the Insured’s Effective Date. Benefits will be paid due to Bankruptcy or Default of an airline only if no alternate transportation is available. If alternate transportation is available, benefits will be limited to the change fee charged to allow the Insured to transfer to another airline in order to get to the Insured’s intended destination. This benefit only applies if the policy has been purchased within 20 days of the Insured’s initial payment for the Covered Trip and for the full cost of the Covered Trip..."
Since you made your initial trip payment on 09/02/2017 but did not buy this policy until 03/14/2018, you had no coverage for Financial Default under this policy.Jan 23,2019
