    Sebastian from PA Verified Squaremouth Customer

    Claim was properly handled, we received the expected medical expenses refund in a relatively short timeframe, and the process was relatively straightforward and painless. Worked better than I was expecting. Feedback from them could have been better, though. When I sent my first email asking about submitting a claim, I got an automated reply right away to confirm they got it, and got a reply the next day explaining the claims process to be followed by email. That was all good. But after sending the claim details by email that same day, I never heard back from them till more than a month later. There was no automated reply, nor any confirmation they were processing the claim. When I wrote more than 3 weeks later to ask about it, I just got the automated reply and no actual reply. But the week after that, we got a separate email confirming the result of the claim, and then around a week later we got the refund in the mail. All in all a good experience, but they should provide better feedback during the claim processing procedure.

    I have just started the claims process. The person I spoke on the phone was helpful in terms of beginning the process. I am waiting to see how long it takes,

    My wife could not accompany me on our flight/trip to Germany due to medical reasons. Travelex said that I have to show expenses occurred because of her unable to go. Since we were able to "bank" her Delta Airlines miles until May 2024, there was no immediate reimbursement. This puts a burden on us to travel again and I think Travelex should reimburse us for her not being able to fly.

    Are there any trip insurance companies you represent that are more responsive to this type situation?

    I doubt that I will ever use Travelex again. I used them in the past on a trip where I made a claim and it was like using forensic accounting to get reimbursed.

    Maureen from MA Verified Squaremouth Customer

    I developed COVID shortly before my scheduled trip departure and had to cancel a nonrefundable trip. I reached out via telephone to initiate a claim. Had I not spoken directly to a representative as soon as I became ill, I would not have known of the requirement to have a COVID test performed at a testing facility since that detail was not mentioned anywhere, and I would not have had an official test result since I tested positive at home. In the current status of the pandemic, requiring a facility test vs home test is asking a lot. It was hard to find a site to get it done and I was quite sick and had no one to assist me. I was exposed to a lot of sick people coughing a lot during the hours' long wait to get the test, which made no change to my care. Perhaps a rethinking of policies and an upfront notification that if claim is due to COVID, an official test result is required, might be in order.

    Review Updated: 11/13/2023

    Overall quite smooth. My only issue is that I had to cancel because I caught COVID. When I called to initiate the claim, and in the paperwork I received, it was not clear that I needed a test result from an independent lab (as opposed to my at home test). Had this not become clear during my discussion, I would never have gotten the test and my claim would likely have been denied. This bit of information needs to be made much clearer as most folks only do at home tests, unless hospitalized.

    Thank you for reaching out to us Squaremouth.com. Travelex Insurance Services (“Travelex Insurance”) makes every effort to review all concerns.

    Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSIC”) is the underwriter and claim administrator for the policy you purchased. Travelex Insurance does not make claim determinations. The Travel Select policy you purchased does state for Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption and Medical claim types, all must be certified by a physician.

    It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and all claims are determined based on the required documentation submitted and the policy details for the policy you purchased. However, we have provided your recommendation to BHSIC for consideration.

    Thank you again for reaching out to us.

    Sincerely,
