Understanding Travel Insurance Coverage
Travel insurance covers trip cancellation and interruption, emergency medical expenses abroad, medical evacuation, lost or delayed baggage, and travel delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if AIG denies my travel insurance claim?
If your claim is denied, request a detailed written explanation citing the specific policy provision. Review your policy carefully, gather supporting documentation, and file a formal appeal within the deadline stated in your denial letter. You can also file a complaint with the Oregon Department of Insurance for an independent review.
How do I file a complaint against AIG with my state insurance department?
Contact the Oregon Department of Insurance through their website or consumer hotline. You will need your policy number, claim number, a description of the issue, and copies of relevant correspondence. Most states allow online complaint filing and will investigate within 30-60 days.
What is a travel insurance complaint ratio and what does it mean?
The complaint ratio (also called the NAIC Complaint Index) measures how many complaints an insurer receives relative to its market share. A ratio above 1.0 means the company receives more complaints than expected for its size. A ratio below 1.0 indicates fewer complaints than the industry average.
How long does AIG have to respond to my travel insurance claim?
Most states require insurers to acknowledge claims within 15 days and make a coverage decision within 30-45 days. Prompt payment laws vary by state — Oregon has specific statutory timeframes. If these deadlines are missed, you may have grounds for a bad faith complaint.
Can I sue AIG for medical claim denial on my travel policy?
You may have legal options including filing a bad faith lawsuit if the insurer unreasonably denied, delayed, or underpaid your claim. Before litigation, exhaust the insurer's internal appeals process and file a complaint with your state DOI. Many attorneys offer free consultations for insurance disputes. Deadlines (statutes of limitation) vary by state.
