So far my experience has not been good. I had to visit a doctor while in Spain for an infection and was given antibiotics. I filed the claim upon my return. Because they required so many documents, ,I put the package together and mailed it through USPS with 2-day delivery. I received an email confirmation that my claim had been received. I was told 5-10 business days to process the claim. However, it is now 11/29, and I had not heard anything from them regarding my claim. I had sent an email requesting status and received no response. So, today I called them. I got some sort of runaround from them that because I had sent it through USPS (2-day delivery), the claims department did not actually receive my claim until Nov. 14. To me, that is unacceptable. It has been 10 business days today since they received my claim and I was told to call back next week!! I have never experienced such bad customer service before. This is upsetting as I used this same company for my next vacation in January. Hopefully my claim will be approved. It is a very straightforward claim. But the delay so far is unacceptable.
Review Updated: 12/27/2023
I filed a claim for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred on vacation in Spain. The documentation required was extensive and they wouldn’t accept any receipts or documents that had been photographed (as so opposed to copying). This was time consuming and is a requirement I have not come across before. Since I had so many pages, rather than scan all of them on a one at a time basis, I sent the documents in USMail to the address on the website. Two weeks passed and I had heard nothing. So, I called and spoke with someone in a call center. She blamed me for mailing the package in instead of using email. But it was their process and requirements which necessitated my paper submission ( and I paid for 2-day delivery). After that conversation, I received an email stating that I would need to send them a
Copying my itinerary, (which had been included in my original letter/package of documents). A few days after that, I got a call from a manager apologizing for the service and the confusion. I appreciated that. As it turns out, I was at fault for not reading the policy carefully enough to see that they only provided secondary medical and that I needed to go through my provider first and then they would evaluate everything not covered. (All of my previously purchased plans provided primary medical
Coverage). I submitted my claim to my provider (didn’t need to send all the itinerary to them) and received full
Compensation from them fo the $340+ expenses. All that said, the 2-week delay in responding to my submission and then asking me to resend my documents is enough to make me think twice about purchasing from them again.
We appreciate Ms. King sharing her feedback. We touched base with her insurance adjuster who required some additional documentation & emailed Ms. King accordingly. We also reached out to Ms. King by phone & email to ensure she received that email from the adjuster & to help clarify or collect that information for her. As of now, we’re still pending a response from Ms. King.
They have not been helpful with my claim since the trip was canceled.
They keep requesting more information stating that what I sent wasn’t clear enough even though it is from the tour company.
They did not call the tour company to verify anything like customer service said they would.
It’s been a month and no money.
Wry disappointed.
We are sorry to hear you found the claims experience not helpful, and the outcome not what you expected.
Your trip was cancelled, because of the Terrorist Acts that took place on October 7th in Israel. However, your destination was Egypt, not Israel. Unfortunately, your destination was not within 30 miles of the destination city where the initial attack took place, which is a requirement for benefits to apply. While we understand the advisory was issued, this situation does not qualify as an Other Covered Event under the policy.
I purchased several policies from SquareMouth in the past. Never filed a claim, so I do not have any experience. This time I filed a very small claim, and we'll see how it will go.

I had a very satisfying experience with Squaremouth Insurance. The claim was processed without any problems. Will be using it again.
This insured’s claim which was just initiated one week ago on 11/20/23 just prior to the Thanksgiving holiday has been approved. Payment will be sent shortly.
Claim filed 11/20/2023

3 weeks from claim submission to receiving a check! Excellent. However they do not keep you informed such as acknowledging receipt of the claim. Telephone response is slow and and requires at least one transfer to even find out if they received the claim.
Thanks. Keep them in shape.
Claim was approved for payment on 12/04/23.
Aegis is very slow to respond to a claim. I filed 10/19/23 and have yet to receive a reply. They indicated 5-10 days but we are now almost a month. Customer Service was helpful in preparing claim but the back end falls short.

It took longer than Aegis estimated to process claim, but payment was made. Would use them again.
This claim was approved for payment roughly 3 weeks (or 15 business days) after all necessary documentation was submitted. The insured has been notified. Hopefully, we can continue improving our processing time to better meet their expectations.
The travel company changed the dates of our tour. We needed to changed the dates of our travel insurance coverage. Aegis made the change for us without any additional charges. We were delighted with their service.
Easy to purchase. When I experienced difficulties during my travel I received calls and emails asking about my situation. This made me feel much more comfortable with the coverage. Upon arriving back in the US I filled the necessary paperwork and received an automatic reply. There has been no further contact either way for the past 2 weeks. Now we wait out Medicare to see what they do before any other funds will be forth coming.
sent 2 emails- no reply- 3 days
So far just filing claim. Have not interact with resolution of claim.
Up to this point, I have been happy with Squaremouth, but, unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cancer just weeks before my trip. I have filed a claim, and to date haven't heard anything.
This insured provided their backup documentation for review on 10/17/23. The claim was approved for payment 6 days later on 10/23/23. We remain available should the insured have any additional questions or concerns.
