August 29, 2024Elissa from IL Verified Squaremouth CustomerWas this review helpful to you?I have only ever purchased travel insurance for trips abroad, but I was driving from IL to CA and staying for a couple of months. I have an HMO in Illinois but that will only cover emergencies out of state so I felt like I needed more medical insurance and bought this policy with primary coverage so I didn’t have to go through the step of filing a claim with my insurance that would have been denied. I ended up coming down with COVID, and going to urgent care. I called AXA customer service to ask what the deductible would be and was pleased to know it was $0. She also explained what documentation would be needed so I could collect it as I went along. The bill for the visit was over $700 (!!!). When I got home a few weeks later I filed the claim through their claims administrator. I had a little trouble with the website, but I called and they helped me file a claim via email and gave me a claim number. That was on August 19. Today, August 29, I got an email with a link to accept the payment (for the full amount) via Zelle (bank direct deposit was also an option), and a minute later I had the money. What a great experience, from finding the policy on Squaremouth to filing the claim, to the speed of decision, to receiving the money. 5 stars!
