  Failure to pay valid insurance claim. We had booked trip to ****** on our own and had prepaid for a number of tours and tickets to tourist attractions and events. We also purchased travel insurance through Trawick. Unfortunately, we were unable to travel because I became ill with *****. We have provided the travel insurance company, Trawick (which provides travel insurance through Nationwide), with all requested documentation. We provided a doctor's note attesting to my illness and that I was unable to travel. We further provided proof of the payments we made, including dates and charges, credit card statements proving that these charges had been paid by us, and receipts indicating subsequent refunds and the non-refundable portions. We included a letter from ****************, the supplier of most of our tours, attractions, and events, indicating that the tickets we had purchased from them were non-refundable. Each time we send Trawick/Nationwide the requested information, they asked us to provide it again, and appear not to have read the file. It has been 4 months and we have not received payment for our claim, despite phone calls, emails, and faxes. My policy number is NW0136-03. My certificate number is *******. Effective date was 8/13/2023.

  To Whom It May ********************* you for your inquiry of December 18, 2023, regarding the above insured; please accept our sincere apologies for the delay.  Below you will find a synopsis of this matter.
  
   In reviewing this matter, Trip Cancellation benefits totaling $540.04 were approved on December 15, 2023, for the claimed AirBnb reservation, however, CBP was not able to process the **************** & Kongress Travel Arrangements as proof of cancellation was not received, despite several requests. 
  
   During the review of this matter, we noted the member received an email from **************** & Kongress stating that the reservations could not be cancelled as all sales are final and non-refundable. While the email did not reflect that the **************** & Kongress Travel Arrangements were unused or the date that **************** & Kongress was notified that the member would not be traveling, in order to resolve the matter, additional Trip Cancellation benefits of $311.33 were approved on January 2, 2024.

  Tripinsure101 :policy number ***************** **** * ******* :destination costa rica. I bought insurance policy dec 2022 for travel to costa rica feb 9, 2023 until feb 16, 2023. My travel companion who i insured along with me had a major heart attack while out fishing on feb 10, 2023. An ambulance met us at the dock and transported him to a clinic in flamingo costa rica. The doctor there confirmed that he was having a heart attack and had very low blood pressure requiring immediate transport to liberia costa rica where he could receive medicine not available in the clinic. I paid on my credit card for the ambulance ride, the clinic dr visit and subsequently the hospital in liberia. He received a clot busting drug in liberia but needed transport to San jose for definitive treatment with a cardiac cath , angioplasty and a stent. My out of pocket for the ambulance ride, and visit to the clinic and the hospital came out to about $10,000. I have submitted all my credit card receipts and indicated what each was for, the ekg and the itemized bills. The hospital gave the clinicals to travicks after hours agency ON CALL. I submitted my claims starting in febuary when we came back to the usa. Although i have sent the info of 33 pages of receipts to the insurance company, they keep writing me that i need more. They did give me about $1500 for the missed vrbo stay and they paid over $25,000 to the final hospital but they will not reimburse me my out of pocket of About $10,000. I have told them i am not sure what else i can give them. The travel insurance is a secondary insurance so i sent the denial from my friends blue cross blue shield stating they will not cover out of country incidents. They have every single thing i can get and i know the hosp provided all the clinicals from the first actual hospital. This was an unexpected incident with no history of heart disease and clearly an emergency . i want to be refunded my out of pocket

  First of all, I thank God my family is okay today, and not because of Trawick Travel Ins. I have never purchased travel insurance before, Since I was recently divorced and traveling out of state I thought it would be smart, but after this experience I would not recommend this insurance company to anyone, I would actually warn them not to use it.I purchased trawick travel insurance on 05/01/22 It took effect on 05/02/22 and ran thru 07/02/22 when we return from the trip.I had a car accident on 06/25/22 I rolled and totaled my truck, our belongings were scattered all over the place and two of my children were taken to the hospital by ambulance. I rode in the ambulance with my youngest child.I was not there when the wrecker came to get my truck.I did have Onstar so help came quick.Once we were all back to the hospital, the police officer asked us all questions and she got the same story from all of us. I got a ticket for possession of marijuana, which is legal in ********, and not legal in *******. I was not using marijuana at the time of the accident, just possession of it.Trawick says in writing that it goes by the state you live in for Criminal acts, and in ******** it is 100% legal to possess. On 06/19/22 I had a sleep study done because I have poor sleep quality, I believe this contributed to the accident. I know the trip delay says I can not be involved in the accident directly, but trip interruption states that we were delayed because of an accident.We had to stay 2 days in ***** ******* and still did not have a vehicle to get home. We did not have friends or family anywhere near to help us. So I really thought this insurance would help us in some way, Especially when I did not hold any information back, and was truthful about my ticket.I had no other choice, but to use my credit card for the hotel, car rental, a change of clothes, and other things that we lost due to the accident.

  Claim No. 113138
  
  Dear ********************:
  
  Thank you for your inquiry regarding the above insured. We would like to apologize for the delay in responding to this query.  After review of this inquiry, we show that the claim was approved for benefits on July 17, 2023. Below you will find a synopsis of this matter.
  
  In reviewing the customers query, she expressed concerns regarding the denial and processing of her claim.  While the Plan does exclude coverage due to being in possession of a narcotic, we do not have information supporting that the loss was caused by the usage or possession of a narcotic; therefore, we have reviewed the claim again, and you will find our review below.
  
  The member purchased Westgate Due Guard ************ in connection with a June 25 July 2, 2022, trip. According to the claim submission, the trip was interrupted June 25,2022, due to injuries sustained during an automobile accident en route to their Trip destination.  The claim requested Trip Delay benefits for the duration of the trip.  In reviewing the claim, they were delayed arriving to their trip destination for two days as a result of a combination of the automobile accident, resulting mechanical failure of their personal vehicle, and the injuries sustained during the wreck.  While there is no Trip Delay coverage under the Plan if they are delayed due to being involved in a traffic accident or injuries sustained during a trip, there is coverage if you are delayed due to mechanical breakdown of your covered vehicle. Therefore, Trip Delay benefits were approved for the expenses incurred until June 27, 2022, when they joined their trip.  However, we do not consider an insured delayed once the insured joins the trip, and so the remainder of the claimed meal expenses are not covered.
  
  We also reviewed this claim under the Trip Interruption provisions, which reimburse the unused, prepaid portion of land or water travel arrangements and the additional transportation cost to join, rejoin the trip or return home when the trip is interrupted due to a covered peril.  We have determined that the members missed two days of their trip due to a covered peril, and also incurred rental car expenses to return home.  While we cannot provide benefits for the rental car expense while they were using their scheduled accommodations, Trip Interruption benefits have been approved for the missed portion of their prepaid land accommodations as well as a prorated reimbursement of the rental car based upon the mileage to travel from the trip destination to their home. 
  
  We noted during the review of this matter that the member also claimed reimbursement to replace items lost or damaged during the automobile accident; unfortunately, the police report makes no mention of the damaged or lost items, and absent proper proof of loss, we cannot confirm the items were lost or damaged during the trip. 
  
  Additionally, we noted the insured stated that travelers in the family were taken to the hospital during the wreck.  If medical expenses were incurred during the trip, we invite the insured to submit itemized bills and corresponding explanation of benefits from their primary health insurance provider for review and consideration.
  
  We hope this is responsive to the customers concerns.  If there are any additional questions regarding this matter, please let us know.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because: I sent several pictures of damaged items just like the Trawick representative told me to do. Its obvious to anyone who read this report that we had damaged items and pictures to prove it. They made no mention of a police report to me.
  I was not there when they towed my vehicle away to check for loose items on the ground and 2 days later we picked up all the belongings we had inside the crashed truck and paid a very good helpful person to drive us from ***** ** to ********* **. Since there was no car rental place that would drive a car to **. We didnt know anything was missing until we arrived at our destination. Like I said before , I have never had vacation ins before this incident, and I promise not to use this company again.  If the best you can do is read into it what you want the outcome to be, then I guess you are a great asset to your terrible company.

  We are in receipt of your August 7, 2023, inquiry regarding the above insured.  We thank you for the opportunity to respond to the insureds continued concerns.
  
  With respect to the customers concerns regarding what she was told speaking to our office, we reviewed the telephone calls that transpired during the trip, and we indicated a police report would be needed.  Unfortunately, the police report makes no mention of the damaged or lost items, and absent proper proof of loss,we cannot confirm the items were lost or damaged during the trip. 
  
  We would also like to note that Westgate has responded to us regarding the amount of the unused portion of the trip due to their delayed arrival to the resort. Accordingly, we have approved additional payment representing two nights of accommodations or $42.58 under the Trip Interruption provisions.
  
  We are sorry we are not able to reimburse all of the claimed losses in this case, but we hope this is responsive to the customers concerns.  If there are any additional questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

  Thank you for your inquiry regarding the above insured.   After review of this inquiry, we have confirmed that the benefits issued under the Plan were correct and no further benefits are payable.
  
  We understand that the member feels that the claim has been underpaid; however, Trip Delay benefits to the maximum limits under the plan were issued on June 6, 2023, in the amount of $2,000 each and subsequently mailed to the address on file.
  
  As the member and his spouse have reached the maximum benefit limits under Trip Delay, and the claim is not eligible for Trip Interruption benefits (i.e. the trip was not interrupted due to one a covered peril to trigger Trip Interruption coverage), it is our position no further benefits are payable. A detailed letter has been sent to the member directly via email.

  I am rejecting this response because: the Trawick representatives have been inconsistent. Initially, they denied my claim COMPLETELY based on the provisions of the policy. Later they paid part of the expenses incurred by me. So it seems the provisions of the policy may be subjective and rather flexible . In that case I should be reimbursed the entire amount of expenses resulting from this incidence.

  I purchased travel insurance with Trawick International, Policy NW0136-03, on Nov 11th, 2022 for a 7 night ********* cruise starting Dec. 8th, 2022. Two days prior to the cruise embarkation, I cancelled the cruise due to the Covid infection. I contacted Trawick and claimed for my lost. My claim number/policy was 982343164-1745228. Since Jan 30th, 2023 I have been calling Trawick multiple times to track my claim status. In addition, I then went online checking my status at **********************. On Feb 08th, I sent an email to ************************** asking for the status of my claim but have never received a responded email. All of my efforts did not get me an answer. Trawick said that my claim was delayed. They experienced high volume of of claims. The dashboard on cbpconnect.com shows that no claims have been processed for Claim/Policy Number: 982343164-1745228. I travel frequently and I need travel insurance but I will stay away from Trawick since this company is not trustworthy.

  I purchased a travel insurance policy from these crooks for my trip to ****, ** over MLK weekend 2023. I filed 2 claims, which I have sent to this "insurance company" on repeat, every morning, for over 2 weeks now. They have not reviewed my complaint, and they are not doing their job. They need to pay out my claim immediately.

The policy provides a Trip Interruption benefit when the trip is interrupted due to a covered peril. Unfortunately, as the ski lifts being shut down due to weather is not a listed peril, this portion of the claim was declined in writing on January 25, 2023.

  Purchased travel insurance through Trawick International for a trip to Europe in June/July 2022. While on this trip one party member was in an accident and broke their wrist resulting in flying home early to receive wrist surgery back in ***. I filed two claims with Trawick International; a medical claim and a trip interruption claim. One claim was submitted online and the other claim submitted via forms through email. Plan number 982515457-1510512. They continuously tell me that they are experiencing high volume and to be patient. I have submitted all required documents and have received no payment for my claims. This company is recommended by Forbes but upon looking at online reviews it seems to be a recurring theme that they simply do not payout to their customers when they make a claim. I am seeking help in having my claims processed in a timely manner and to be paid out appropriately for my claims. This seems to be a very clear cut claim as there is submitted documentation from the ambulance ride and hospital bill plus the newly booked flights to return to *******.
