“Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel Select
So far I've been very disappointed with the claims process with Travelex. After documents are uploaded there's no way to manage what you submitted or review to make sure you included everything. If you're filing a claim with multiple pieces of material it just makes for a cumbersome process since you can't see what you submitted.
I have also been relatively unimpressed with the responsiveness of Travelex. I was asked to submit additional material for my claim (some of which I believe was already provided in the initial claim) and when I had a follow up question regarding the material I was asked to provide it took Travelex a week for them to answer my question.

We are happy to hear that you have been in touch with our Claim Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, earlier today and were able to provide the additional documentation. We will also provide your concerns about the online claim process, to the appropriate department.
It is important to remember that insurance is highly regulated, and claim documentation, such as itineraries, are an important part of the process as they relate to the policy details, on the policy purchased.
If you have any additional questions you can contact the Claim Administrator directly at 1-855-205-6054, Monday – Friday, 7:00am – 7:00pm CST.
Kind Regards,
Amber“Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel BasicThe process was fairly consumer friendly. Inquiries at this time are so delayed that one could not reach customer service. I fear that a claim, none planned incidentally for this trip, might face the same delays. The corona virus is certainly a factor, but then how companies face crises is the true measure of their competency under pressure, isn't it?

Due to concerns about Coronavirus, all companies in the travel insurance industry are experiencing higher than normal call volumes, which has resulted in longer hold times.

They are poor and overrated. Claim's reasons are not clearly defined. Only after It was too late to cancel my insurance or
have a claim paid just because I did not receive a legal letter through the mail. legally stating the terms of the contract that were different than advertised Their claims department customer service phone does not answer with a human rather a recording and hang up. Sharon Henry the claims dept. gives out fault telephone numbers and claims processing is months rather than weeks. Berkshire Hathaway cannot receive phone calls in emergencies and because I did not receive a letter mailed to me my claim was denied.. I still can't get a refund because of their emergency telephone lines do not work.

Amber“Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel SelectThe travelex folks don’t respond in any sort of timely manner unless you get them on the phone. Their messages say it’s a temporary issue but, it’s been going on for years. Once you get them on the phone, it’s a great experience.

They should procure summary insurance coverage card of pocket size for handy reference. Other insurance company do provide such card.
Thanks

The policy details were sent to you via email on 03/06/2019 at 3:37 pm, when you purchased the Travel Select plan.
Attached in the email is the Confirmation of Coverage (COC), with your personal and trip information listed.
The COC does have the benefit schedule and phone numbers in case of an emergency, at the bottom of the page, so you can cut it out and carry it with you.
This gives you the convenience of having a pocket-size, portable version of the policy information, while you are traveling.
Thank you again for reaching out and we hope you think of Travelex the next time you travel.
Kind Regards,
Amber“Travelex Insurance Services policy: Travel BasicThe cost of the insurance was a good value in order to have the peace of mind that all was not lost in case something went wrong on our trip. Winter travel from cold climate states can be "iffy" because it can be clear one day and a storm the next. I would use Travelex Insurance Services again.

After reviewing the details of the discussion on 12/13/19 with the Travelex Customer Solutions representative, we have determined that the focus of the call was how to extend the coverage on your existing insurance policy. The Travelex representative advised and clarified the process to extend your coverage.
While Travelex can assist the insured travelers with questions relating to their insurance coverage, Travelex does not have the authority or capacity to change an airline ticket.
