Remember that the medical coverage for this plan is secondary only. We filed a medical claim for our mother, and the adjuster asked whether or not she had primary medical insurance coverage. Luckily, she did not have primary medical coverage.

    Thank you for providing feedback to assist your fellow travelers.

    Secondary Coverage means that this coverage will pay only after any other Primary collectible insurance has paid the claim and the Primary policy limits have been exhausted. Then the Secondary plan would have paid in excess of the Primary. However, if there is no Primary collectible insurance and the claim is for a covered medical condition, then the Secondary would reimburse on a primary basis.

I purchased the plan in case of emergency and was satisfied with my purchase. There was a medical evacuation on our ship which made me even more grateful for having a little insurance.

We had to cancel our trip, due to serious illness. Claim was filed and serviced promptly. The customer service reps were courteous, and very helpful and the claim was paid promptly.
