    Easy to sign up but filing a claim takes time to process. I send my claim last Jan 19 and almost a month now no feedback yet.

    I am still waiting to have my claim settled. I filed the claim on November 2, 2022 and it still has not been settled. I have called numerous times to inquire about the status of my claim but it seems impossible to talk to the person handling the claim. Unacceprable

    It took forever for my claim to be processed and it was almost impossible to contact someone to check on the status

    I was only asked for proof of COVID insurance (my policy) while visiting 1 country on my itinerary. Because of an illness during my trip, I came extremely close to using the policy. Fortunately, I did not have to make a claim. I think I will risk it the next time and just put enough money aside for the expenses the policy coverage statement detailed. As with all insurance, I think it is a waste of money.

    I called customer service while in the Philippines because I had minor mishap in a mall, had X-ray but they paid for it. The customer service told me I’m covered if I have to pay and can make a claim on line. That gave me reassurance and peace of mind.

    I called and spoke with John Hancock prior to filing my claim. They were very easy to get on the phone to discuss my situation (Peru political unrest) and suggested that I file.

    I filed a claim on Dec, 30th, 2022 and it has not yet completed processing. I receive emails every two weeks with a general message that they're overwhelmed with claims and need more time.

    I thought that my claim should be very easy to process so I'm not sure why the delay. I'm also not sure what length of time is considered normal processing time but I hope that it will complete soon.

    on December , 2022 my wife broke off her crown. I contacted Squaremouth to ask for assistance and you were unable to help me find a dental office to fix her tooth.
    On January 2, 2023 I was visiting my wife Mother and Farther grave in a cemetery located in Vietnam.

    I’m extremely dissatisfied with your insurance. You say trip interrupted or unable to travel you can get your money back. I fractured my foot and it was well documented. You are a joke of a insurance… we need more government control on insurance. The insurance company take your money but doesn’t want to pay out…. Bad faith insurance….. .shame on you….Hancock Insurance company goes by many names. When you file a claim you will not get any response (they know better). When you finally contact them they acknowledge your claim and later says oh you contacted the wrong company. You gave me the phone number. Then you email them and they say they never received the email. Then you redo it and then they say we can’t open it. You mail them a copy certified and they tell you have to do it o their forms. Then you complete the forms then they want more and more dragging it out. I was in Vietnam for 42 days. I should have book an earlier flight home But they wouldn’t pay for it Right! I save them thousand of dollar by just waiting for my flight. They say they have 24 hour a day and 7 days a week you can contact them. When you email them for help or guidance it takes 48 hours. Then they respond we need your date of birth. You contact them again then say need policy number. You have all ready provided you full name, address, phone number. You email they and they respond back in a unprofessional manner. They just drag it out without helping you to find a doctor or advise what to do. They act like a two year old when responding.
    No helpful attitude just stupid response. This is a first for me complaining about a company but I’m not through with them yet. I will be taking my time to correct my grammar and spelling and to document Hancock Inc. or who ever they are on Facebook and any and all media.

    Following the instructions provided, I uploaded all the available information onto the Broadspire/Affirmity web site and received this confirmation on January 13 - Successful Upload Notification - CMS Reference: 4110250/CMS Reference: 4110249. I have not seen not heard from anyone since. The provided link only allows me to see the status of the files I uploaded and nothing else, and all the documents i uploaded have not been reviewed. Not sure where to go with this, but I am in consultation to help me determine my next course of action should this current path continue

    So basically the Front end of your service provide great service, but should we have to actually use the benefits we purchased, we have a completely different experience and I was not able to Rate this in your survey. Had I been able you would not have gotten anything higher than one start.

    So far my experience has been going well. I will be making a claim soon for a cruise we were unable to take do to Covid. I hope our experience with John Hancock Insurance goes as well as it has been so far.

    1. Called to make a claim for canceled flight and we received claim confirmation number that we later found out did not exist. Never received an email that we were told we would receive.

    2. Later during the same trip we flew and got stuck in Houston (after a 3 1/2 hour delay) because of a missed connecting flight we called again and waited for hours never getting anyone to answer the phone.

    3. Called back multiple times after waiting for hours on hold. Finally talk to someone who told us our first claim numbers did not exist and gave us another claim number and promised more confirmation emails.

    4. One week later when we made it home we called again because we never received any correspondence with our new claim numbers. We found out that our second claim numbers did not exist either. We had to re-tell our horrible travel experience for a third time to another operator. This one was finally helpful and we received new claim numbers and correspondence that we submitted a claim.

    5. We received a confirmation email that said: "Please allow 7-10 business days for the completion of this review." After the 10 business days we called again to find out about our claim and now they are saying it won't be until mid February that we will hear back about our claim. This operator wanted us to tell him him the whole story for a fourth time. We told him there is no way we are doing this again and hung up with him. He was not helpful at all.

    This has been the worst possible experience with an insurance company that I have ever had to deal with.

    I have no resolution after over two months. I was never notified when the last "update" was made to the online portal. Also, the portal generally does not reflect current status of the review process not does it provide a phone number for actually communication. No human will return my calls. Every time I phone a general number, I am given a different agent's name and phone number, none of whom ever return my call. I am VERY disappointed in this company.
