John Hancock Travel Insurance Reviews

Claim was submitted on Tuesday, January 2nd. Can you please verify it was received?

Although they claim to review documents within 7-10 business days, it has been over a month. They claim to be backlogged. Very impressive on phone but no movement whatsoever

Not very helpful in helping finding the medical assistance. I'm glad it was bronchitis and not something serious.

The website to file the claim isn't user friendly.

Service was fine. Communication was lacking. It would have been nice to receive an email or text prior to my trip. I had to assume everything was in order. The most disappointing thing about the policy is that once I was in Thailand I thought I might extend my trip by a couple of weeks, but it turned out John Hancock will not extend a policy, and will not sell a policy to someone who's trip has already commenced. That wasn't clear to me when I bought the policy.

I filed a claim but never heard back concerning any updates on my claim I feel like the ball was dropped . I experienced delayed luggage. I had to purchase items until my baggage arrived.

They have been awful..they have been unresponsive to my correspondence for the most part. They have denied my claim because my Costco Travel has not been able to provide them the exact reason why the airline cancelled a flight. There is no dispute that the flight was cancelled. Costco claims that the airline doesn't have to provide an exact reason. I have notified Hancock's adjuster that there is no provision in the insurance documents that I reviewed that an "exact " reason for cancellation has to be provided. I fully intend to dispute this matter and file a complaint.

Expensive.

I am very disappointed in the John Hancock Insurance Agency and the silver travel insurance plan that I had purchased.

I got Covid 19 while traveling with my family in Australia and we had to interrupt our travel to isolate per local COVID 19 recommendations. We incurred nearly $3000 in airline change costs related to canceling one segment of our travel and purchasing new segments for each of the four of us in the family.

I filed a trip interruption claim through the Star Insurance Company, the company the John Hancock travel affiliate. After escalating my claim through three levels of processing over multiple months, I was told my claim was denied. The reason for denial was because I communicated with my own physician back home and didn’t see a physician in Australia. There is one word buried in the policy under the definition of “licensed physician,” where it is stipulated that the physician I consult needs to be in my “locality.“ One word out of 16 pages of the policy. Providing a signed letter from my own doctor was not sufficient. They also said my Covid antigen test were not sufficient. Nowhere in the policy did it suggest that Covid antigen test weren’t sufficient, and I had no knowledge that using my own doctor at home was not sufficient to get my claim paid.

Why buy travel insurance if you’re going to get this runaround. I would suggest that John Hancock make it more clear.

I will not be using their services in the future.
