Thanks to INSUBUY and Fallon Galloway
I am writing to express my heart-felt thanks to INSUBUY, especially its Claims Resolution Specialist Fallon Galloway. Last February bought an insurance through INSUBUY and then went to the U.S.. Unfortunately, a few days after my arrival, I was hospitalized due to dark stool. I spent two nights in the hospital and was discharged after the doctors diagnosed my disease, duodenal ulcer, which is not difficult to cure today. Then troubles began to approach. My insurance company refused to pay my hospital bills because it did not think I had an acute onset of pre-existing condition. However my doctors thought I had. I contacted INSUBY. Its claims resolution specialists are wonderful. In particular, Fallon Galloway! During my lengthy negotiations with both the hospital and the insurance, Fallon has been very patient, always available to offer help! I am deeply impressed by the integrity and professionalism that Fallon has demonstrated. Finally my insurance company paid most of my hospital bills, which I am very satisfied! Once again I would like to thank Fallon Galloway and INSUBUY. I feel proud of having been a customer of INSUBUY and would like to recommend it to people around me.

Icici Lombard — Overseas Travel Insurance - Cheating and Fraudulent Transactions by ICICI
Reference to Policy number - 4030/W-369655/00/000 - I have taken an overseas travel policy in Chennai for a travel to US for 6 months. Based on the policy’s refund procedure, I am eligible for a refund of the unused portion (3+ months) because of my returning back to India.

I am a senior citizen, and I had to talk more than 6 times, and Email more than 8 times with the customer service of ICICI Lombard, in vain, and till date I have not received the refund, even after escalating the details to the grievance people as advertised in their website (Three names are mentioned), however, they do not even have professional ethics to respond to customer query.

I am old enough to raise this battle legally, and with such a pathetic customer service, I would strongly not recommened anyone to take any of ICICI Lombard’s policies. In case of any requirements as to details of this case, I would be happy to provide.

I have paid around Rs.19000 in terms of premium amount, on which, almost half of the amount is eligible for refund for non-usage, as per the policy terms. There are no claims or whatsoever against the policy, however, I am getting same responses on different dates from a customer service professional - Pankaj Chettri, that I have claimed an amount of Rs.300USD! (same as in his mail) If this is the case, ICICI should be paying me this money back! However, this cannot happen, as there was no such claim. I am getting a sense that ICICI enters in fradulent transactions similar to what I have quoted above, and probably, some bigger fish is yet unrevealed.

If you want to waste your money, energy and time, get disrepected and cheated, you have to knock at ICICI Lombard for a policy.

Atlas America and Insubuy
My mother in law was on Atlas America (HCCMIS), bought through Insubuy. We got a lot of help from Insubuy.com , who helped guide us through a successful appeals process after the initial claim was denied by HCCMIS.

Personally we are not very happy with the insurance company. They denied the claim just because she had a history of that problem (but it was not a pre-existing condition). Then if we call them directly, it takes too long for them to respond. Once we decided to file the appeal, we contacted Insubuy, and that is when things started happening.

Also, the appeals process took very long, we were asked to wait 60 days for appeal response. It took close to 75 days (again fault lies with Insurance company, not Insubuy who in fact pushed them for a speedy response), and in the meanwhile we started getting borderline threatening collection calls from collection agencies for the hospital and doctors bills.

We are however very happy with the services of Insubuy. Do not get visitors insurance from anywhere else, you can be left in a lurch! Insubuy does not abandon their clients after the insurance has been purchased. We are not sure what we would have done if we did not have them in our corner, as a bill in the excess of $36,000 for hospital and labs was denied by the company.

The reality is that HCCMIS is actually one of the better insurance companies, and in the end, they did pay up after we provided additional evidence on appeal. But whichever insurance you buy, go through Insubuy.

Also, we are very pleased with the quick response on the information that we called for, and for finding the appropriate plans that fit our needs.

Your professionalism and ethical standards were key for us on buying the Travel Policies.

Commendation of Insubuy service
This is a note of commendation for your customer service rep, Sean T. Sean helped me in my purchase of a Patriot International insurance policy and I had the good fortune to have him help me twice. Twice was a random occurrence, but I was grateful for his help. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and has a helpful, professional tone in his voice. He was fully engaged during our conversation, which isn’t always the case in customer service. With 20 years’ experience in this profession, I am fully aware of its challenges.

Sean is to be commended.

NEVER EVER BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE FROM ICICI LOMBARD
NEVER EVER BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE POLICY FROM ICICI LOMBARD. ITS NOT JUST WASTE OF MONEY BUT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SLEEP LIKE US IF YOU EVER NEED TO MAKE CLAIM USING THIS POLICY. SHAME ON ICICI LOMBARD.

ICICI Lombard advertises their International Travel Policy as one of best offering cashless claim facilities worldwide and offers peace of mind. Well, all that's only true till someone unfortunately needs to make a claim using this policy. Like most parents visiting USA do, my father bought the ICICI Travel policy for his 3 month trip to USA in June 2015. Unfortunately he had to be hospitalized and had to undergo a gallbladder surgery. We informed ICICI Lombard within couple of hours of hospital admission in ER. They didn't respond to hospital enquiry for verification of benefit. Subsequently, they have now pulling out a line from their policy fine print that "Cashless payment is at the sole discretion of ICICI and customer can not claim it as right by way of having insurance policy". This is the biggest catch in their policy. It's been more than 2 weeks and ICICI Lombard have basically done nothing to help us and just trying to find reasons like insured is old (74 yrs) and has been taking some medications (blood pressure, thyroid, etc) because of which they can't process the cashless claim. WELL, THEY HAD ISSUED THE POLICY THEMSELVES! This is PLAIN CHEATING and FRAUD on ICICI;s part to claim one thing and when customer needs to claim then they totally back out and leave insured on his own.

WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE BECAUSE OF ICICI NOW. SO, WOULD LIKE TO CAUTION EVERYONE TO NEVER BUY THE TRAVEL INSURANCE POLICY FROM ICICI LOMBARD.

Claim assistance
I am glad I bought health insurance for my mom through Insubuy when she visited me last year.
One day, she had dizziness and chest pain suddenly after she woke up from bed. I had to take her to emergency for immediate medical help. The hospital billed all the claims directly to Coventry/HCCMI.
Almost 4 months later I received a letter from HCCMI to provide some info to process the claims.
I submitted the required info, but they rejected the claim saying "not timely filed".
I did try to resolve the matter by calling both Hospital and HCCMI quite a few times but no clear response was given.

I contacted Insubuy to help me with the matter. They were not only very responsive but also followed up with me and HCCMI to clear the claims. At one point HCCMI rejected claims stating pre-existing condition, but again Insubuy submitted appeal on behalf of us and at the end the claims were processed and paid by HCCMIS.

I appreciate the outstanding help/service from Fallon and Insubuy.
I will gladly refer Insubuy to my friends and family and will buy again from Insubuy.

Thanks and regards,
Chinni

Highly recommend Insubuy for visitor incurance
Hi All,

I had a difficult situation while my mother was visiting me last time. I purchased her medical insurance from Insubuy , the best one available from their website.

One day she had Major abdominal pain started in the middle of the night , she was taken to emergency room and within 24 hours she had to go for a surgery. Hospital got pre-authorization from the insurance company before the surgery . However all the claims related to her surgery was denied by the insurance company due to "pre-existing" limitations.

Then I contacted Insubuy for help. They helped me filing the appeal to the insurance company , they helped me collecting all the required documents from providers and after a long wait insurance company finally agreed to pay for her claims. This was such a relief for my family.

Special thanks goes to Fallon from Insubuy for her kind help.

I highly recommend buying visitor insurance from Insubuy.
 
Thanks,

Insurance for Dad 75 yrs preexisting condition
Hi My Father is visiting me in US heis 75yrs old ,he suffered from a small stroke (ischemic) about a month back howeever he has recovered well and the doctor has cleared him for travel. I wanted to buy insurance for him however most insurance I have seen give very minimal coverage for pre existing conditions at his age. esp for ER visits which is my main concern. Otherwise I am thinking to completely let go of covering pre existing conditions and just take insurance cover for other health issues since paying a high premium for a nominal coverage of 2.5k or so is useless.

Any advise on insurance options esp ering covPre Exisiting ones would be helpful

thanks
