Helpful on phone pre trip and when we faced delay, hope for same when i file claim
During the trip, my wife (Lorelee) developed a severe case of Vestibular disorientation (Vertigo). She needed medical assistance. We were concerned that we might not be able to continue with the trip. We called IMG to try to get a referral to medical assistance. The first person we talked mainly gave us a legal grilling about how the claim process worked and the forms we would need to fill out. Then we lost the connection. We called back, and the 2nd person had a somewhat more calming approach, but the only referral advice was to contact the hotel concierge service about medical services. Fortunately, we were able to get assistance and we went to a nearby hospital's emergency room. But totally without any assistance from IMG. Right on their Emergency Assistance Travel Card they state:
"Medical Referral: If urgent medical advice or care
is needed, we are prepared to refer you to the nearest
appropriate care facility or provide a listing of available
medical care to you. We can assist with obtaining an
appointment with the medical care provider you have
chosen."

Customer support from IMG during the incident that resulted in the claim was not stellar. Though the claim to give on site guidance as to where and how to obtain medical assistance, when I called (and the call was answered promptly), they seemed more concerned about the legalities of the situation, not really interested in guidance as to where to assist aid. We did find aid at a local hospital (with some help from our hotel concierge) and the issue was deal with. There was some concern initially that event might cancel the remainder of our cruise, but it resolved itself overnight and we proceded with the journey.
After returning home, I went online to IMG claim site and filed a claim for 395 Euro - the amount of our hospital ER visit and a medicine that was prescribed. The online process was very straight forward. I submitted copies of the bills and and a narrative of the reason for the visit. Within a week, IMG send me an electronic check for 395 Euros (converted to USD). From both our perspectives, the case was now closed.
I am not provided with information by IMG. The customer service rep disconnected me when I asked "Where in the policy does it say the if a flight is non refundable, any flight credits will be applied against the loss?" Flight credits were issued and good for a year but I will not be using them. I have no travel plans within the next 12 months.

My claim is valid and IMG kept changing reasons for denying the claim. Their denial is absurd. My flight was cancelled, so I cancelled my son's flight. He could not go by himself, just as if I were ill. My flight was cancelled by my travel agency who is defunct. This is a vaild reason for coverage. IMG first denied the claim because my son received airline points. He will not use those points in the time allotted and will receive no benefit. When I objected to this denial, IMG said I cancelled my son's flight, therfore no coverage. Yes, I did cancel my son's flight after my flight was cancelled for covered reasons. When one insured cannot travel for a covered reason, all insureds are covered. IMG is a scammer and does not deserve to be part of your portfolio of insurers.
I am considering filing suit and exposing IMG's sharp tactics.
The claim (due to delayed flights) is under review, but the process has been very satisfactory so far.
Your company offered the coverage we needed at a much price than others
I called IMG customer service on one leg of our trip because a piece of baggage was missing to ask for assistance with the airline to help retrieve it. The customer service agent who answered not only did not help, she had no idea what I was talking about when I told her it was in my information provided by their company that they were supposed to assist. She said they don't do this. Then a day or two later, I emailed to ask for assistance in retrieving our bag and was told to provide information to file a claim. Filing a claim was simple and straight forward.
A waste of $261.98
Never again!! Customer service is terrible! Way overpriced - will be using the airline insurance from now on.
We will definitely look to IMG for insurance needs on any future trips.
When I had questions about filling out the claim form they were very helpful.
So far so good
