Luckily we did not need to use the plan. We have had to use other plans on previous trips and we have purchased every one from Insure My Trip.

I submitted a claim for our trip because I was injured on the journey AND our flight home was canceled.
We had medical bills and additional flight and hotel bills incurred due to the cancellation. Nationwide has fought me every step of the way, requesting the same documentation OVER AND OVER, they don't want to pay the claim and I will NEVER use them again.
Barbara R. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

The comfort of knowing that in an emergency I would have coverage needed for my special medical situation made my trip even more spectacular! The help I got with choosing the appropriate plan and the most cost efficient was awesome!
