Tin Leg's claim department are not responsive to telephone calls. I had to reach them via email. It is taking me 5 days just to get a telephone appointment to file a claim. Representatives from Tin Leg that I reached by telephone are not at all helpful.

Stay clear of this company. They do not pay on claims. Very poor customer service squaremouth seems to be connected with them. A total scam. Shop elsewhere to avoid getting ripped off like we did.
What We Found:
We received your notification of claim by voicemail on 7/19/2017.
We emailed you on 7/20/2017 to schedule a claim interview with one of our claims agents.
Your claim interview is scheduled for 7/25/2017.
What We Did About It:
We schedule a claim interview for all claims before we send a pre-filled claim form to our customers. This allows us to obtain more information about a claim and explain what documentation is required to process the claim.
We have found that this speeds up the claims process.
We are experiencing a high volume of claims at this time, so the first availability for an interview may be 5 business days in the future.
This is okay because we finalize most claims within 15 business days of receiving all required documentation.
I welcomed the security of medical assistance should it be necessary while traveling. With the challenges of travel today, it was important to me to be prepared. The good news is I didn't need to use the policy! A win-win.
I called seeking an answer to a basic question before leaving on my trip and was told someone would get back with me within 24 hours. I never heard from anyone.
What We Found:
You contacted us on 6/15/17 with a coverage question about potentially cancelling your trip.
What We Did About It:
We sent you an email to schedule a call with our claims department. We apologize the agent you spoke with was not clear that a call would need to be scheduled to discuss your options. We are sorry for the frustration this has caused you.
I had to cancel a 5-day hiking segment of our New Zealand trip because of a flare-up of arthritis. Although Tin Leg initially denied my claim because I was not seen by a physician in NZ, they were open to further discussion, and in the end we received a fair reimbursement. Tin Leg customer service was consistently polite and helpful. I will be using them again!
serveral months prior to my trip, i thought i might have to cancel. i sent an email to discuss the issue and, in less than 24 hours, received a response as well as an opportunity to meet with a representative. although cancellation was not necessary, i was impressed by the responsiveness to my inquiries.
It is easy peasy!
Love dealing with Tin Leg.
Although my experience was good, I was told I would receive a call back within 24 hours explaining the outcome of my proposed claim. I never received a call back. My initial call was on a Sunday Afternoon regarding a medication that I had left behind. I wanted to get that medication by shipping from home and I needed help or advise to get it to me.
After final claims paperwork was received by Tin Leg it took 3 weeks to receive payment. Seemed excessive since I had sent everything they had requested.
What We Found:
Your claim was submitted on 5/11/17. We received your claim documents via mail on 5/16/17.
What We Did About it:
Your claim was approved on 6/1/17 and checks were mailed that same week.
The service representative was very professional and helpful. The insurance gave us peace of mind knowing if something were to happen we would have help.
The agent was very helpful in steering me to the policy I needed.
