How far in advance do we need to buy?
iamtrustworthy replied to kctwinmommy's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
May I get this info from you? - In the last 180 days, have either of you, or a traveling companion or a non-traveling family member, had any medication changes or had treatment for or been diagnosed with any medical condition that could worsen and, in turn, cause you to cancel or interrupt your trip? Or that could cause you to seek treatment on your trip? - Are you old enough to be covered by Medicare with a supplement you bought on your own, have Tricare or are on a former employers' retiree health plan? Or do you have Advantage plans? -

Hi Cindy, When are you paying your deposit? Steve Dasseos -
Hi leishirsute, If you have Medicare Medigap plans, you'll want Primary Medical. Here's why: https://tripinsurancestore.com/medicare-does-not-cover-you-outside-the-usa/ If you have Tricare or an Advantage plans, Secondary might work for you depending on how your plan covers you outside the USA.

Where to buy medical coverage
iamtrustworthy replied to Aubriee01's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi SPacificbound, That's odd the URL includes "?doing_wp_cron=1681593642.5484719276428222656250". The URL should be https://tripinsurancestore.com/ Steve Dasseos -
Hi simong, Hopefully, it wasn't myself, Kim or Deanna that failed to tell you. Geo Blue pays the bills directly if you go to a medical facility in their network. You may see all the Geo Blue Trekker plan details here: https://tripinsurancestore.com/geo-blue-trekker-travel-medical-plans/ Steve Dasseos

Hi simong, Did they explain to you how the payment for medical services is done when you use one of their contracted providers? Steve Dasseos

Hi simong, Who told you that Geo Blue pays as Secondary? Steve Dasseos

Hi realtorlovescruising, I used to a lot of business in Canada before 2019 when some insurance laws changed. You need to pay attention to the pre existing coverage "Lookback Period". Canadian travel insurance plans often count the Lookback Period back from the departure date while other plans count the Lookback Period back from the policy Purchase date. Steve Dasseos

CFAR and Flight travel Funds Question
iamtrustworthy replied to SuzieQ521's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance

CFAR and Flight travel Funds Question
iamtrustworthy replied to SuzieQ521's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi SuzyQ521, You can't get the 75% CFAR because you are using Future Travel Credits. All the plans I know well, and a lot of the many companies I don’t offer, define your Initial Trip Deposit Date as the date you originally bought the trip that later something happened and caused the Travel Credits as the first payment. I know one company that has a 50% CFAR that you can get. Steve Dasseos -
Hi cwayne, You need to insure the trips as one trip from the dates you leave and return home. Steve Dasseos

Travel insurance just for COVID reasons?
iamtrustworthy replied to Hammergirl's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi Hammergirl, As klfrodo said, your only choice is you get a plan with the "CFAR" Cancel for Any Reason coverage. Steve Dasseos -
Is $20,000 enough medical coverage?
iamtrustworthy replied to estrawn's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi estrawn, The answer depends on these items: your ages, your maximum out of pocket deductibles and co-pays for your health insurance. I've never seen a medical claim for more than $74,000 outside the USA. Steve Dasseos -
Visa card coverage or Cruise line insurance
iamtrustworthy replied to Ombud's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi Ombub, You will want to find out from your credit card if they cover pre-existing conditions. I haven't seen a credit card that does cover them, but it's worth asking. Steve Dasseos -

Travel Guard Trip Insurance Fraud
iamtrustworthy replied to Subman738's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Hi Subman738, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I also answered you in the Q & A I'm doing now: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2606-qa-cruise-insurance-with-steve-dasseos-of-the-tripinsurancestorecom-november-2022/ When your wife fell broke her right pinkie finger, did you contact Travel Guard and whoever you bought your policy from to find out what you had to do when you were still on your trip? If so, what did they tell you? Steve Dasseos
