    John Hancock IA is a very well known and trusted name in the industry as well as in history. I particularly liked the quality of the policy and the ease of understanding the product as well as how easy it was to navigate the process. I would certainly recommend them this company to fellow travelers. Thanks.
    Sincerely

    Everything was great but have to reserve final judgment until I see if the claim goes smoothly. It is for around $200. Hopefully it will be a good experience.

    Review Updated: 05/31/2018

    They finally paid me. But I have been ion the insurance business for over 50 years (retired but still consulting) and can tell you the amount of information they require is onerous and ridiculous. Id I have a report snd bill from the medical department of the cruise ship? nAsking for a copy of my passport, and copies of the visa and stamps, etc. is uncalled. My claims was for one doctor visit and 2 prescription totaling less that $200 and I paid over $1500 in premium.

    I might add that I had the dame experiences a few years ago for about $100 in bills although that was a different company.

    I do have a suggestion. Why don't you offer policies with a $500 or $1000 deductible? I would wager that over 90% of all of the claims are less than $1,000. They could charge lower premiums and would reduce the number of claims dramatically.

    Your website is great and your staff is wonderful. Why con't you get claims handling authority from the insurers at least up to a reasonable and let your capable staff do it?

    And I do like your follow up and communications.

    We have had no issues with John Hancock so far. Customer Service was very helpful in answering my question. I also submitted a question to Assist. They emailed me requesting additional information. I provided the information but never heard back from them.

    I had hoped to receive more to over my trip interruption cost due to weather but I received more than the agent said I would on the phone so the result is a draw.

    Got sick while in India and Nepal. Upon return to USA, contacted and visited family Dr for treatment. Contacted JHIA to advise I would be making claim for reimbursement of expenses associated with treatment. Was sent claim papers and instructions. Overall experience has been acceptable. Will wait to see how claim is resolved.

    I have sent my information in several times dealing with this claim. It has been going on for months. I receive emails stating they have everything they need. I, also, receive emails stating that they need the same things I have already sent in. I am getting really tired of dealing with this problem. I would like the claim settled and a check sent to me for the full amount of the claim.
    Please take care of this asap.

    Once I contacted SquareTrade the insurance company I used decided to pay the claim first thing the following morning. I would definitely recommend square trade but not so sure about John Hancock

    Our luggage didn’t follow us on the first of our two legs home. In addition to contacting the airline, I called your customer service line. While they couldn’t help with recovering our luggage, they told me how I could file a claim, if necessary, and sent me the appropriate forms. Fortunately, the airline came through and our luggage arrived on our doorstep soon after we returned home.

    i usually take out my insurance for the deposit amount and increase the coverage amount when I make the final payment, Thai has usually been handed with a phone caller through the internet and the change is immediately made. In this case it was an ordeal.. I first contacted squremouth and was told that I had to contact John Hancock directly. Once I finally reached someone at John Hancock who could assist me, it took several days to get the change made. Very frustrating.
