    Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    Due to a medical diagnosis I had to cancel the cruise, which I did on March 11. I still have not received my refund, however my travel mate received her refund from Global 2 weeks ago. I see no reason for this delay and would never recommend Aegis to anyone. Please see what you can do to expedite my refund. I was so looking forward to that cruise but it just couldn't happen.
    I submitted all the paperwork they requested so I see no reason for the delay. It is a legitimate claim. Stage 4 bone cancer is no joke!
    Respectfully,

    We’re very sorry for the medical diagnosis which was the reason for your Trip Cancellation. With the tracking number you recently provided, it was discovered the parcel you sent us was addressed to the wrong address. It was now able to be retrieved and we have requested an expeditious review and adjudication.

    We are very sorry for what you are going through and will do our best to see the claim is adjudicated as quickly as possible. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our team at (800) 498-9540.

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Choice

    I have purchased travel insurance each time I purchase a vacation, and have never had a need to file a claim.

    This time, I was actually the victim of a theft of one item of personal property, my sunglasses. I filed a report with the cruise line and a thorough investigation was conducted.

    Once I returned home, I double checked my coverage for baggage and personal effects and the policy states:

    We will reimburse the Insured for a Baggage and Personal Effects Benefit, for direct loss, theft, damage or
    destruction of his/her Baggage, Personal Effects, passports or visas during a Covered Trip, up to the
    corresponding Maximum Covered Amount per Insured shown in the Schedule.

    I read the exclusions that were on page 25 of 29. There is a paragraph excluding artificial limbs and prosthetic devices, etc. which I only skimmed as I did not think sunglasses would be in that category.

    I submitted a claim yesterday and promptly received a denial stating indeed my sunglasses were not covered as follows:

    artificial limbs or other prosthetic devices, artificial teeth, dental bridges, dentures, dental braces,
    retainers or other orthodontic devices, hearing ****, any type of eyeglasses, sunglasses or contact
    lenses;

    I don't know how I possibly missed reading this one word in a 29 page document, but I did.

    I realize this is not a claim for a large amount, I just find it frustrating that something so commonly used by most people would be excluded and the exclusion buried along with artificial medical devices.

    We’re sorry to hear that the insured was not happy that sunglasses are excluded from the Baggage & Personal Effects benefit. We can assure you that this exclusion is not unique to this policy or our company. You’ll find eyeglasses and sunglasses excluded from almost every travel insurance policy sold in this country. We remain at the insured’s disposal should they have any additional questions & would certainly have informed her of this exclusion should she had inquired at the time of purchase.

    Aegis policy: Go Ready Pandemic Plus

    We purchased a “cancel for any reason” policy. Several months prior to the departure date of the trip, the tour company cancelled the trip.
    I contacted an agent to file a claim and was told what information they required which I supplied in the form of a letter from the tour company.
    I have sent the information twice because there was no response to the first submission, neither has there been a response on the second submission.
    Not satisfied with customer service under these circumstances.

    On March 13, 2024, Elena contacted us by phone, notifying us of the cancellation of her trip by the travel supplier. We instructed her to send supporting documentation via email. Unfortunately, her initial email, which came to us without any content, inadvertently ended up in our junk folder, leading to us not receiving it. Despite her subsequent attempt on April 3, 2024, which also ended up in the junk folder, we were unaware of the oversight until April 28, 2024, when SquareMouth brought it to our attention.

    We immediately reached out to Elena via email and voicemail to apologize for the inconvenience. We sincerely appreciate Elena's patience throughout this process. A refund check is now being issued to her, and her policy has been canceled as per her original request. We value Elena as a customer and thank her for her understanding.

    I became extremely ill in India. I had to cut my trip short and I had to scrape together the money to purchase a business class ticket (because I was so sick that I had to lie down flat, and fly back to the USA. I am now trying to file a claim and be reimbursed for at least some of my loss, but I am stonewalled and put off by your claims agent.

    We thank Mr. Morrill for his feedback and are sorry to learn of the challenges he had while in India and his unplanned early return. We’ve noted there had been email and phone contact regarding initiating a Trip Interruption claim and possible Medical Expenses. Proof of loss claim forms had been emailed, but had not been returned. The claim has since been closed due to lack of documentation. Should you wish to pursue the claim, please submit the completed proof of loss claim forms along with the requested supporting documents.

    Should you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at (800) 498-9540.

    Purchased insurance easily on-line, but happily did not need to use it.

    I attempted to make a claim. They indicated that they would send me paperwork to complete the claim. I have not received any paperwork.

    My contact with Aegis at the time I received medical care was quick and pleasant. At that time, I was advised to submit the paperwork for my claim after my return to the US, which was in 3 days. I did submit all the paperwork for my claim on April 3. I have yet to hear back from them, so I can't speak to how well they handle claims as yet.

    I cannot believe that mental health illness with complete diagnosis is not considered a legitimate reason for cancellation of a trip and covered by your company.

    Dana, we understand your frustration with mental health being an exclusion. However, please note that this is a standard exclusion across the entire travel insurance industry and not something specific to our company.
