Reviews, Ratings and Experiences

The compassionate care you gave me in the handling of my need, in my hour of need, was exemplary! We never felt like we were merely a case number — we felt the sincerity of your heartfelt response, as I shared my heart with you, both by phone and by e-mail correspondence.

Thanks for all the help and continued support you have provided. Although one hopes never to use travel insurance, you were a god-send throughout our ordeal. We couldn’t have done it without your continued assistance. Thanks again for everything.

I was unlucky enough to fall ill while abroad & filed two claims with IMG; I was quite pleased at how easy and straight-forward this process was. My claims were processed quickly and without loads of red-tape. The representatives I spoke with were polite and helpful, as well.

    Medical expenses Claims$25,000

The insured must pay the deductible ($100) before the insurance plan pays anything. Since the policy maximum coverage is $300,000 and the total amount billed is $25,000, the policy will pay 80% of first $5,000 then 100% up to the policy limit ($300,000). In this case the insured expense after the deductible is 20% of first $5,000, which is $1,000. Thus your final expense is $1,000 while the insurance company will cover the remaining $24,000.

Expense Amount billed Amount Insurance Pays Amount Insured Owes
Hospital Room Rent $9,000 $8,000 $1,000(20% of first $5,000)
