My wife had a health issue that arose about a week before our trip. I called your claim office because I needed clarity about the coverage in case it was determined by our doctor that we would have to cancel the trip.
The person I spoke to could not give us clarity as to whether our claim would be honored. I don't think our request was unreasonable. If the doctor had told us that surgery was needed sooner rather than later or that my wife would not be healthy enough to make the trip, we would have had to cancel. I would have like clarity from your staff. Instead, all they would tell me was that a decision regarding coverage could not be made until after a claim was filed. I did not find this helpful.
Luckily, my wife's doctor told her that she could postpone the surgery until after we returned from the trip, so we didn't have to cancel. However, I hope you can empathize with our situation.

The last two nights of my trip to Peru were spent in a hospital in Cusco. Representatives from Generali were on the phone with my travel companion at least two to three times a day. They were so helpful and considerate. Their follow-up was excellent. I was told what paperwork to get from the billing department. When I got home I sent off all the required paperwork and was paid promptly.
I was so surprised that everything went to smoothly.
I have recommended them to many of my traveling friends and won't go on another adventure without them!!

This plan took the worry of travel out of the hands of my wife and I. When we travel again, we will definitely take Generali Global insurance.

I compared coverages online when choosing this company. It had the highest medical coverage, which I thought would be important. And the evacuation coverage was adequate. I gave high rating for coverage, although we did not have to use it.

Although we didn't need to file a claim, it gave us peace of mind to know we were covered in the event of some emergency. We primarily bought this policy because of ill relatives that might have caused us to need to return home before the end of the trip.

With all travel insurance products, the claims administrator is required to adjudicate claims based on the terms and conditions of the policy. Unfortunately, in no event can a claim be pre-determined, as you would be required to provide Proof of Loss to determine appropriate coverage.
The Generali Global Assistance Preferred plan has the following number one covered reason to cancel or interrupt your trip:
"The Sickness, Injury or death of you, your Family Member, your Traveling Companion or your Service Animal. The Sickness or Injury must first commence while your coverage is in effect under the Policy, must require the in-person treatment by a Physician, and must be so disabling in the written opinion of a Physician as to prevent you from taking your Trip (either because your condition prevents your travel, or because your Family Member, Traveling Companion or your Service Animal requires your care);"
This plan will exclude:
"Sickness or Injury during the 180-day period immediately prior to your
effective date for which you or your Traveling Companion:
(1) received, or received a recommendation for, a diagnostic test, examination, or medical treatment; or
(2) took or received a prescription for drugs or medicine.
Item 2 of this definition does not apply to a condition which is treated or controlled solely through the taking of prescription drugs or medicine and remains treated or controlled without any adjustment or change in the required prescription throughout the 180-day period before coverage
is effective under this Policy."
We are happy to hear that you were able to take your trip and we wish all the best for you and your wife. We would be happy to speak with you further about your experience and/or provide any clarification of policy terms and conditions. Please let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance. We can be reached at 800-487-4722.
