Don’t get Blue Cross travel Insurance

Do not get this insurance

It took me 5 hours in PAIN to get an ok for treatment. Got a confirmation that my arm was broken Got meds to get back to Canada Long story short. I had surgery in Canada 15 screws and a titanium plate. They oked the treatment but as of today Feb 14,2024 They will not pay the bill of $1922.00.
Do not get this insurance. They don’t pay out. They lie on the phone and don’t keep proper records. Shop else where. Run from Blue Cross.

Taking them to court. 😡

International emergency medical case refused by blue cross quebec

by Assem Madi on Jan 31, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

I had a very bad experience with this company. They only seem to care about money. It's difficult to contact them, especially when you're outside Canada, particularly in the Middle East. I purchased an annual medical insurance that was supposed to cover any emergency medical issue during my trip. However, when I had an urgent medical condition and I tried to reach out them through my contact in canada to ease the communication they decided to refuse the claim without providing any explanation.

J'ai eu une très mauvaise expérience avec cette entreprise. Ils semblent seulement se soucier de l'argent. Il est difficile de les contacter, surtout lorsque vous êtes à l'extérieur du Canada, particulièrement au Moyen-Orient. J'ai souscrit une assurance médicale annuelle censée couvrir tout problème médical d'urgence pendant mon voyage. Cependant, lorsque j'ai eu une condition médicale urgente et que j'ai essayé de les joindre via mes contacts au Canada pour faciliter la communication, ils ont décidé de refuser la demande sans fournir aucune explication.

Scam

I was a member of blue cross for several years, and I purchased certificates from them yearly as I am a frequent flyer. I got sick on my trips, nothing serious but I needed to see a dr. Contacted blue cross, they said they didn’t have my certificate number because I had told them I don’t have it, clearly they saw this as a chance to save money. I had to pay out of pocket for my visit at that time. They were clearly trying to save money cuz I had the certificate at home, just not on me. They didn’t know that. Matter of principle. If you with blue cross, take pics and have several copies of your certificate.

I would never get another insurance with them again. Congratulations blue cross you lost a loyal member.

Don't Pay out for Legitimate Claims

My daughter was sick on the way back from NYC. We called BlueCross who informed us any big emergency hospitals will accept Canadian BlueCross. The hospital thinking it was US fortunately accepted the number (initially) as we would have been charged $2600 US dollars.
I filed a claim when I received the hospital's invoice in September 2023 after all the documentation was sent. It is now late January 2024. They informed me the adjuster recommended it would be paid. I have since received numerous collection agency phone calls and bills.
I have emailed the adjuster numerous times to gain information on the status - dead air. I am calling now. My estimated wait time is 45 minutes.
I have since bought new travel insurance and never again with Blue Cross. People are now asking, who was the provider you had issues with BLUE CROSS. I know a lot of people and am about to email my ombudsman.

Beware

I made a claim and blue cross wouldn’t pay. They said there was an advisory when I bought the insurance. How would I know that? They should have told me. They sold me something I could not use. Other insurances paid other people in my group. Go with a real travel insurance company, not a health insurance company for travel insurance. Shame!!!

Avoid if you don’t want your family be left in distress

Avoid if you don’t want your family be left in distress. I purchased travel insurance for a newborn 15 days past our travel day because we had some coverage that comes with a regular travel Visa card that every Canadian has. This somehow rendered our policy with blue cross void (!) since they treated it as “extension” of existing “policy”. Does it make sense? Please avoid this organization. Just go with reputable company or you may find yourself in a dire situation.

Avoid at all cost…run

We’ve been with Blue Cross for many years and just renewed for the year starting October 1, 2023. Due to our age (70’s) and waiting for surgery, 1-2 year wait, we called to cancel.
Over the years we were led to believe the coverage could be cancelled and money paid back pro-rated. Which is fine being this started October 1, 2023. Here it is November and they refuse to do what is not only the right thing to do but we were misled right from day one.
So Never ever deal with this company. This is not the only negative review on this pathetic scam.

Rip off... DO NOT buy from this company

My husband and I bought a year policy and had pre-existing added. I got sick in Costa Rica... can not call collect from within Costa Rica and my phone was running out of time. I emailed them to get permission to see a doctor. We have filled out papers 3 times now and they always give a different reason to deny the claim. The last one was because it must be in English. So we had to translate. and they denied it again. They sent me a cheque. I was surprised and cashed it. Then I got a letter asking for the money back as it was to go to can-assist, not me. I asked them why can-assist is getting paid for doing nothing yet we pay $3500 and my claim was denied. I asked to speak to someone and was told there was no one to speak to. No to a manager and no to whoever denied my claim. This company Blue Cross will take your money and do absolutely nothing for you. How do they get away with this? Scammers

Do not buy travel insurance here

Their 3rd party adjudicator CanAssistance is horrible. They work at a snail's pace. Filed a claim on Aug 2nd, it's Dec 22nd and I haven't seen the money. No one contacts you. You have to keep calling them and every customer service representative is telling you a different story. They don't know what they are doing. They sure know how to frustrate the clients and not pay out the claim. There is no way to escalate your complaint. If Blue Cross wants our business better change your adjudicator.
