November To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for the opportunity to provide a response to Mr***’s recent concern regarding his Trip Delay/Trip Interruption/Medical Expense claim (UC[redacted] ) As previously advised, our management team was able to have the sales call listened to in order to verify what was advised during the purchase of the policy on 05/03/It was confirmed that our Customer Service Representative (CSR) gathered trip details and went over general policy information Our CSR and Mr [redacted] had discussed coverage in regards to potential cancellation of the trip should his daughter become ill The consumer has the opportunity to review the full Description of Coverage for the policy prior to, during and after the purchase of a policy The insurance information was emailed to Mr [redacted] on 05/03/ The email would have provided complete access to the full terms and conditions of the policy for review In regards to the Medical Expense portion of the claim, we are still in need of a copy of the explanation of benefits from the insured’s primary medical insurer Once this documentation is received, we will be able to further review this portion of the claim We have already issued reimbursement to Mr [redacted] for the additional airfare to return home under the Trip Interruption benefit If the insured has any further questions related to this claim, we welcome them to contact our Claims Department at ###-###-#### Of course, we reserve all rights under the policy and the law, and none of our communications may be construed so as to waive any of those rights Sincerely, [redacted] Complex Claims Adjuster
To whom it may concern: This is in response to the concerns raised by Mr. [redacted] regarding his Trip Cancellation claim. According to the information provided, the trip was cancelled due to winter storm Jonas. It is noted that Jonas became a named storm on... 01/19/2016. In order for coverage to be available for this named peril, the insurance must have been purchased on or before 01/18/2016. The insurance policy was purchased on 01/19/2016 with an effective date of 01/20/2016. Unfortunately, as the insurance was not purchased on or before 01/18/2016 benefits would not be payable under Trip Cancellation as the winter storm Jonas was no longer Unforeseen. Please refer to the policy wording, which states in pertinent part: EFFECTIVE AND TERMINATION DATES Effective Date: Trip Cancellation coverage will be effective at 12:01 a.m. Standard Time on the date following payment to the Company of any required plan cost. TRIP CANCELLATION AND INTERRUPTION The Company will reimburse the Insured a benefit, up to the Maximum Limit shown in the Schedule or Declarations Page if an Insured cancels his/her Trip or is unable to continue on his/her Trip due to any of the following Unforeseen events: (b) Inclement Weather causing delay or cancellation of travel for at least 24 consecutive hours; “Inclement Weather” means any severe weather condition which delays the scheduled arrival or departure of a Common Carrier or prevents the Insured from reaching his/her Destination when traveling by a rented or owned vehicle. “Unforeseen” means not anticipated or expected and occurring after the effective date of coverage. While we understand Mr. [redacted] ’s position in this regard we must also consider when the event that ultimately caused the cancellation first began. In this case the winter storm that caused the loss started prior to the purchase of the policy and the effective date of coverage. Based on the documentation included in the claim file, we have determined that the expenses being claimed are not covered under the terms of the policy. While we wish the outcome of our review could have been more favorable, we must adjudicate each claim in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy purchased by our Insured. Therefore, we must maintain the denial of this claim as it falls outside the scope of the coverage purchased. Thank you for the opportunity to review and respond to Mr. [redacted] ’s concerns. If Mr. [redacted] has any further questions relating to his claim, we welcome him to contact our Claims Department at 1-866-350-3256. Sincerely, [redacted] (Claims Manager) /ss

9/15/16/16 To whom it may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to provide a response to Ms. ***’s recent concern regarding her Trip Cancellation claim (#1934595). While we understand the position of the insured, we must abide by the wording of the Description of Coverage. Our records indicate that the insured contacted our office on 8/10/15 to purchase the insurance coverage. A copy of the policy Description of Coverage was sent to the insured on 8/10/15. The Description of Coverage gives a detailed explanation of the coverages available, and reasons for coverages to go into effect. It also gives a list of exclusions, definitions, and terms and conditions. The medical condition that led to the cancellation of the trip was considered a General Exclusion under the policy. The policy does not cover medical conditions which are considered pre-existing to the policy effective date, and therefore the claim was denied. If the insured has any further questions related to this claim, we welcome them to contact our Claims Department at ###-###-####. Of course, we reserve all rights under the policy and the law, and none of our communications may be construed so as to waive any of those rights. Sincerely, [redacted] (Complex Claims Adjuster)
