My wife and I both got sick while in the Netherlands and thought we'd have to cancel a bike tour. I contacted WorldTrips and found that I needed a note from a doctor. OK, reasonable. They said they'd provide a referral. A day later, they finally contacted me with a number that can't be dialed from a US phone. After some work I found a local number for the same office but they only provide emergency service (major bleeding, a bone sticking out of you, etc.). They referred my to someone else but, in the Netherlands, you cannot see a doctor without having pre-registered with a doctor - a process that takes weeks. The hospital emergency department only takes "real emergencies" like heart attack, major trauma, stroke. For anything else you have to see that doctor that you can't see. A very few cities have a "hotel doctor" but not the major city we were in. At one point I did manage to actually talk to a doctor's office and they confirmed that it's just not possible to see a doctor without a referral from your assigned physician and that can take weeks if you don't have an assigned "gatekeeper" physician. Hotel staff and local friends confirmed that the Dutch medical system is screwed up for both citizens and visitors.
This policy is useless since it has requirement for you to do something that can't be done. Also, their medical referral service is slow and gives inaccurate information - useless.
Next trip I'll save my money and take my chances.

I purchased insurance with this company and a few months later i had to cancel my trip due to a new job. I turned in all my documents and had copies to find out 3 months later that they claim they didn’t receive! I resent the documents to wait 2 more months to be told that I was eligible for a refund! Then to top it off you will only talk to a foreigner… NO Americans!! The representative that I spoke to was also rude!! I wouldn’t recommend buying insurance from this company because they will NOT give you your money back!!

We received all the money for the trip we were unable to take because of illness.

No problems at all before, during, or after our cruise. Everything was fine. No need to file a claim, so I can’t comment on that. But had peace of mind, knowing we were covered if needed.

I will use it for my next trip.... I think it would be nice to offer some benefit to those who reuse your services repeatable for their trips, like I plan to do

While in Cuba on day 3 both of us tested positive for COVID. We were isolated in a Cuban hospital without any way to communicate due to language barriers, limited Wi-Fi, or Internet. Even though I got through to someone they never responded. I called 4 times. They did nothing to help us. Each call cost $2.99/minute. The bill will be hundreds of dollars for calls that did give us any support.
