Had an unscheduled cheek biopsy several weeks before trip then dermatologist wanted a chemical/laser face treatment done 8 days before travel. I was told the peel would be mild & take no more than 5 days. The following day thought might be a smart idea to insure my trip in case there were any complications. The facial skin did not follow the normal experience expected. After several days I had a more extreme reaction. There was to be no follow up till post trip but needed to make an appointment & was told to delay trip so cancelled flights. When calling to ask for info to have reimbursement, as a retired nurse I realized it was futile effort to try. I DID have a reference from nurse practitioner stating I should avoid plane travel till full healing. The amount of paperwork plus requesting medical records from over 6 months past from dr office made me understand AIG is in business to make profit first @ make claims lengthy & difficult. I have had trip insurance before, never used it. I will look at other options to insure my trip if I decide to insure again.

Didn't use any coverage during my trip, so can't really say anything about coverage or claims. The insurance was required by Russia in order to get a tourist visa, and they accepted this coverage with no problem.

You never really know how good your travel insurance is unless you have to file a claim. Our family traveled to London in April of 2016. On the return trip (London to Vancouver BC, then on to Portland Oregon), our 17 year old son became ill. He was so sick that he had to be taken off the plane by paramedics in Vancouver BC and be transported to the hospital for treatment. Of course that also meant we missed our connecting flight, so we had to stay in a hotel that night after he was released from the hospital. I submitted the $975 hospital bill and $189 hotel bill (both of which we paid by credit card) on the Saturday after we finally made it home. I received text updates on my claim throughout the week, and received checks for both claims exactly one week after filing. It was a difficult situation, but our son is now healthy again and AIG provided stellar service!

Didn't have to use it (which is a good thing!) but I'm sure they would have given me 5 star service had I used it!

It was a relief to be able to purchase separate medical evacuation insurance at such a reasonable price. Glad I didn't need to use it.

"Thank you for sharing your concern. It looks like treatment for claimed incident occurred prior to policy purchase, which is why, according to the description of coverage, we are unable to extend benefits to you as the policy purchased does not cover for medical conditions that received treatment within the 180 day period prior to the effective date of the policy. As with all of our claims, we welcome any new information that may have also been a factor in the reason for cancellation. You are welcome to call our Claims Department for further discussion/assistance at 1-800-826-1300."
