12. Clarification of cancellation and refund

questionHi,
I am trying to get a travel insurance for my sister in law who is coming to visit me in November. Wish to know incase she does not come again will my money be refunded? and How can I file a claim?

questionDear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your visitor health insurance needs!. For any of our visitor policies which can be purchased for the number of days of a person's trip, you will get a full refund as long as you cancel Before the start date of the insurance policy (one exception is Diplomat America and Diplomat LongTerm, they charge a cancellation fee even before it starts). They want to know in writing about the cancellation, but they accept email so it's quite simple and quick.
If a person has a medical issue, the first thing to do is see if the provider will deal with the insurance company and then you would only have to pay your portion of the bill (your visitor's). If the provider will not deal with the insurance company, then it may be necessary for your visitor to pay up front and submit a claim for reimbursement. All the claims form are on our website and are fairly straightforward. If you should need any assistance, we, as your agents, would be able to assist you in any part of this process.
