My wife broke her arm in India. I called the company from India...they were unhelpful and wanted me to complete forms! That was ridiculous...how do you complete forms from India.

We would like to take this opportunity to clarify how On Call International, Travelex’s travel assistance company, offers assistance for medical emergencies that present themselves on a covered trip. On Call’s medical case process requires all patients to be evaluated by a treating physician and to have the medical information reviewed by On Call’s Medical Team to help ensure patient’s safety, in order to assist the traveler. On Call’s Medical Team specializes in flight physiology and follows guidelines set forth by the International Air Medical Transport Association and the Aerospace Medical Association to determine a patient’s fit to fly status as patient’s conditions may change at elevation. While the medical case management and fit to fly approval process can seem overwhelming, the process is important to ensure a patient is safe enough to travel home. "
I purchased the plan in good faith thinking I will never have to use. Unfortunately my husband Deonarine Prasad fell and broke his leg. I could not get hold of anyone lines busy and long hold times so I gave up. We handled ourselves with medical in India paid out of pocket expenses. With assistance of the airline somewhat we are back home.
I am not one to complain but this was unacceptable

We appreciate your feedback. The insurance provider has issued the following response:

I had purchased travel insurance in the past but never had a reason to file a claim. This was the first time we were filing a claim for travel cancellation due to medical reason and I was a bit skeptical about my claim settlement. However Travelex Insurance put all my doubts to rest. Very efficient processing of claim. Completely satisfied. I will recommend Travelex Insurance to everyone.
Thank you Insuremytrip.com for showing all the available options for insuring my trip. All the quotes shown were from reputable companies and the website had enough information on coverage options. It made my purchase of insurance plan very easy.

The price of the plan was great and filing the claim was so easy. I called their customer service to get help with which form to use. We got stuck in Chicago on our flight back from India because the flight home was cancelled due to weather, so we wanted our hotel cost covered. I filled out the form and supplied requested documentation. 2-3 weeks later we received a check in the mail. No problems at all. I would definitely use Travelex again!
