Placeholder. I followed through on a travel insurance claim and actually managed to get to the end. Received a check in the mail . This is for medical expenses from a story I wrote about earlier 1 .
I have paid for travel insurance many times and only once prior to this case, did I really need it. In 2015, I got conjunctivitis on travel abroad and found myself picking up the eye drops for this in an airport pharmacy in Frankfurt. The drops were only about maybe 11€ so I did not file a claim. That would have been silly. The policy costs $100 typically.
But this time my travel expense was about $240 roughly and so I decided to try out how the process works. It took me about 4.5 hours on a Sunday to figure out and fill the forms for travelguard and yea after a few months, I did get a check in the mail. I should write about my experience with the forms.
