We expect the check to arrive this week. My husband flew to Australia and his domestic connection was cancelled due to weather. ALL the flights had been cancelled and they were unable to confirm a re-booking. We found a night train he could take from Sydney to Melbourne.. The company processed the claim and told us that today a check was being issued. It was not difficult to complete the claim.

I am very dissatisfied with Tokio Marine HCC Medical Insurance Atlas Expedition. 4 of us, women, missed a flight from Louisville Ky to Chicago on May 18, because the Chicago Airport was closed due to weather. Over a three hour period, the Chicago airport opened and closed a few times, so by the time we reached it, our flight to Amsterdam was gone. We could not arrive in Amsterdam, and missed our first day and night of the cruise. United Airlines reimbursed us for purchased clothes and dinner, since luggage didn't arrive for 8 DAYS. All we wanted from our insurance was $264 for a day of cruise missed. My other two companions bought Roam Right, and WERE sent a check. Tokio HHC denied the claim. I would AVOID this company. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn of the unfortunate events that occurred during your trip. Acting as your advocate, InsureMyTrip contacted the claims department to assist you with the claim that went unpaid. The representatives informed us that the claim was adjudicated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy.
As you and your travel companions purchased different policies this caused the policies to differ in slightly. Unfortunately, the policy you purchased did not have a Missed Connection benefit where your traveling companions policy offered this. The best way to avoid this situation in the future is for traveling companions to purchase with the same provider. Please feel free to call us at 800-487-4722 if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your review. In the US you may present your medical identification card to your physician or other health provider who would require minimal, if any, payment up front. However, travel medical insurance is different. First of all, Tokio Marine HCC is not Primary coverage which would pay FIRST before any other collectible insurance. It is Secondary coverage that would reimburse you only after any other Primary collectible insurance has paid the claim and the Primary policies' limits have been exhausted. There is also a Pre-existing Condition exclusion with a 2 year look back period that must be reviewed before Tokio Marine HCC would pay their share of your claim.
We regret that you were disappointed in the handling of your claim. However, it is important that travelers understand that along with the coverage that your travel medical plan provides, there are also limitations which may be reviewed prior to purchasing your policy.
InsureMyTrip is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and our customer care representatives are licensed insurance agents who are able to recommend the most cost effective plans which will cover the travelers primary concerns. If you would like to receive assistance in obtaining a quote or purchasing a policy, please call us at 800-487-4722 as we would be happy to assist you.
This plan was inexpensive and easy to set up. My husband severely fractured his wrist in Mexico, and it has cost us almost $30,000 in surgeries ($24000 in Mexico and $5000 since returning). HCC has already paid all of the expenses that were not covered by our primary insurance since returning, and has promised to pay anything that our primary insurance does not pay from Mexico (if/when they decide). Jennifer, our case manager, has been fantastic.

My claim was fairly processed and it took 2.5 months to receive the settlement, which I thought was reasonable. The people I spoke with were helpful and they reached out to me via phone to let me know the additional information I had to provide. I was a little disappointed in the way they determined the trip interruption days and felt that I should have received a bit more per day because I had traveled a day before the trip actually began and they calculated that day into the daily amount of the trip cost. I think that I didn't explain that clearly enough for the person who settled the claim.
It was a bit difficult to communicate with them because the person I was working with was never available when I called and emails to their email address aren't answered very promptly.
Other than that I felt that I had received good service and would not hesitate to buy insurance with this company again.

Avoid this plan if you really want to be "insured". I was stuck in a foreign country, since my toddler fell sick (virus that causes breathing difficulty) prior to the return trip. Tokio Marine refused to pay the medical bill and the replacement ticket. The claims website is very obfuscating and pretty hard to figure out how it works. Go with a different company.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to learn about child's illness. Upon speaking with the insurance provider it appears the medical claim was paid, subject to the deductible selected on the policy. In terms of the trip interruption claim, it appears the reason for interrupting the trip, although serious, was not related to a listed covered reason, per the certificate. You do have the right to appeal the claim, and the link to proceed with the appeal was provided by the insurance provider. In the future we encourage you, and all customers, to call us prior to purchasing the insurance and we can assist you with purchasing a policy based on your primary concerns. To speak with one of our licensed representatives, please call us at 800-487-4722. We are open 7am to Midnight EST Monday through Friday and 9am to 9pm EST Saturday and Sunday.
Absolutely a waste of money. My husband almost died on our trip and the insurance was a big fat FAILURE. Support and customer service was completely lacking. Don't waste your time or money. Did not pay for ANYTHING, but kept interfering with his care. Even denied the coverage for hotel room to be at his bed side.....clearly spelled out in the policy. What a complete waste.

After advising the insurance provider on this review, Tokio Marine HCC (TMHCCMIS) contacted the insured. One of the insureds had a medical emergency for which TMHCCMIS paid the air ambulance bill. However, in order to determine if the medical bills were covered under the policy, TMHCCMIS needed additional information from the insured, so they reached out directly to the insured to obtain this information.
We also received the following update from the insured:
"Just to follow up on previous complaint about the insurance I purchased. I realize you are the broker and not the actual insurer.
But finally after 7 months they have reviewed my case and agreed it was handled wrong. They will be reimbursing me for the portion they denied earlier for cost to be at bed side. They agree that they will pay the cost of the onboard medical (they just need a copy of my insurance denial), and will reimburse me for my out of pocket medical expenses for 2018 and 2019.
Although I am grateful for that at a time when my husband was literally hanging to life and supported 100% on mechanical life support and now on heart transplant list is not when you want to fight these battles.
At least the company is using my situation for training on how to manage and what they do for such extreme cases as ours."
Thank you for your continued feedback. Although we are pleased to hear that HCC has paid your claim, we regret to hear that you had so many issues with this claim while going through such a critical time. We wish you and your husband best wishes for the new year.
This company is super sneaky and you should read their terms with magnified glass. I usually good at going over exception and exclusions as one can't go over every paragraph of text but yet they denied the coverage when my wife missed the flight stating there is no coverage for trip interruption due to airline fault. when i pointed out their hazard clause includes any delays due to common carrier, the company came back stating only trip delays that cause the loss over 50% of the trip would be covered. I would recommend everyone to stay out of this one but what you decide is totally up to you, of course
P.S. Takes weeks to get anything from the claim management (claim forms, email responses, etc)

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that your wife missed her flight during her trip. Acting as your advocate, InsureMyTrip contacted Tokio Marine HCC Medical Insurance's claims department to assist you with the claim. The claims representatives verified that the claims were adjudicated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy.
Unfortunately, it was determined that the event that interrupted her trip did not fall within the scope of Trip Interruption for this specific plan.
As you mentioned the certificate states the following under Trip Interruption: "Your arrival on the Trip being delayed due to a Hazard that causes You to lose 50% or more of the scheduled Trip duration"
