    Christian from NY Verified Squaremouth Customer

    I had inadvertently entered the incorrect start date for the trip. I called the agent when I realized the mistake and they immediately corrected it and sent a follow up policy with the correct dates. This was very important as Ecuador was asking for proof of medical evacuation in 2023. They seemed to have dropped this requirement January 1, 2024; so technically we could have travelled without a policy, but it felt good to have one.

    John Hancock had great customer service. If you file a claim, you will deal with Sedgwick. That was a horrible experience. Be prepared to investigate ( I thought they were paid for that). Be prepared to submit items that were already submitted. Now before buying policies I have to inquire who the 3rd party companies are that business is conducted with.
