    It’s really hard for me to rate John Hancock insurance at this point. I called for help because the website was giving me problems and I was just directed to a different website. It took hours to get everything complete because if you’re not acting fast, the site just goes back to the beginning and wipes out everything you’ve put in before. I finally got everything done and that was on Monday, October 6 and I have yet to receive any further information from them at this point in time.

    No issues. Since I do not need to file a claim I cannot give any additional feedback

    While I was away there was a threat of an air traffic controller strike in Paris that would have impacted our travel. I called to find out about coverage so as to be ready to respond. The agent was very helpful. Fortunately, the strike was called off.

    Had to change dates of departure and details. The agent made it easy to communicate and confirmed changes in coverage dates. Great experience.

    While traveling in Bali, I fractured my big toe. I went to a hospital and got Xrays for confirmation. I called John Hancock Insurance and since there was a suggestion that I may need surgery, they transfered my case to Global Excel Management. It turned out I was able to avoid surgery and just need to make a claim for the ER visit and one other consultation. I called John Hancock and they said that I now had to work through Global Excel. I had tried to fill out claim forms while I was in Bali, but discovered the data I entered was not saved and I would need to start all over in order to complete the form. Once I arrived back home, I called John Hancock, and they again referred me to Global. I then called Global's claim department, (which has a convoluted and ambiguous voice system one needs to try to navigate to get to the claims dept) and requested that they send me a claim form so I could make the submission. They said they would send my request up the line but it would definitely be coming via email. I waited about a week or so and called again. I got the same answer, that my request would have to be reviewed higher up the line and that the form would definitely be coming within the next few days and that they would put an expedited request on the review. I did not receive any communication back from them. Then on July 1, I sent the claims dept an email, requesting the form. Since my first request via in-person call to the email on July 1, Global Excel seems to have gone dark. I have received no follow-up and it feels like now I am being stonewalled. It certainly feels like bad faith on Global Excel's part. I will now attempt to find a claim form on line and hope I can get it filled out before data is lost and I need to begin all over again. I see I have 90 days to submit my claim. I am trying, and it feels like they are trying to make the time run out so I lose my window of time to complete the claim. This situation is becoming frustrating for me and I would not recommend this company to my friends. Thank you for your auditing. Laura

    Easy transaction. Clear and concise coverage details and explanation. When my trip schedule changed by a couple of days one easy phone call to customer service got the records updated Thankfully our trip was flawless and we do not have to deal with making any claims. I highly recommend Squaremouth and in particular John Hancock.

    I was stranded at an airport and had 9 flight delays. When I tried to reach a John Hancock agent to determine what my options were that would be financially reimbursed I was told that the office was closed for the weekend and to try back on Monday.
