I called them to notify that our trip was cancelled. They provided me with a Ref # and sent details on how to apply for a claim.
Working on that currently so hoping all will go well without issue and they will stand behind the policy.

Ultimately, our claim was processed and reimbursement made in full. They were behind on the estimated timing provided for responses. I followed up 3 times to check status which seemed to escalate the processing a bit. When I called the customer service number I did reach a helpful agent. But didn’t actually speak with the person processing our claim. Still customer service sent a message inquiring for a status for us.
Their website was not as user friendly as I would suspect. You could only upload one page as a pdf. We had to separate and scan two page documents to upload. For some reason my husband and I had two separate policy numbers instead of one (typical of our other insurance policies for travel) and we had to upload all documents twice. It seemed like they asked for a large number of documents.
As a comparison to companies, my daughter was taking the same vacation as us which was cancelled due to weather shutting down the airport. She filed her claim with a different insurance firm and received approval 4 days later. We filed ours and followed up after two weeks to initiate a review of our documents and another 7-10 days to get approval. Still bottom line - they paid us in full. Glad we had travel insurance and very pleased with using Squaremouth for our selection and management.

OAT required me to buy insurance for Antarctica trip, and I did so. It was rather expensive regardless of the company. Your price seemed to be in the middle. I was satisfied with your customer service.

On December 1 I called John Hancock from Argentina to get assistance for my travelling companions, whose plane was delayed and then diverted and then cancelled. The agent who answered did not offer any assistance, and actually hung up on me, without calling me back.

I had several delays etc on my trip. I filed a claim Sept 24, 2022 with all documents complete. No answer from insurance. I contacted Square Mouth and they called and said they would resolve. Still no word from insurance, no one returns email. Claim still open! It is almost Christmas and still no word. Terrible!

Never Again. 23!years of being a loyal customer and when it’s finally time for a claim..nothing.
John Hancock does not honor their policy. Buyer Beware! They claim it is not their Policy however the policy is called John Hancock Silver. Very Deceptive. Looking at legal options now.

We had a medical issue overseas which I reported 3 weeks ago on the phone. I never received the claim forms via email and called the claim number today. The process was a bit complicated and lengthy and we could not actually connect with the person responsible. I am awaiting forms at this time.

I had a ridiculous amount of challenges with the MedAssist program when out of the country. Their advice was inappropriate for my Covid treatment. If I had of followed their instructions I would not have the possibility of getting refunded for trip interruption.
Thank goodness I’m a retired RN who knows what the protocols should be and sought my own medical care.

Purchasing a policy was very easy. However after filing a claim almost a month ago i still have to hear from them about the status of my claim. I am still hopeful that my claim will be resolved as soon as possible.
