Payment of Claims Claim Procedures: Notice of Claim: The Insured must call AIG Travel Guard as soon as reasonably
possible, and be prepared with what coverage the loss was under (i.e., Medical Expenses), the name of the company that arranged the Trip (i.e., tour operator, cruise line, or charter
operator), the Trip dates, and the amount that the Insured paid. AIG Travel Guard will fill in the claim form and forward it to the Insured for his or her review and signature. The
completed form should be returned to AIG Travel Guard Group, Inc., 1145 Clark Street, Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54481 (1.800.826.1300). All claims of California residents will be

is licensed.
Claim Procedures: Proof of Loss: The claim forms must be sent back to Insurer no more than 90 days after a covered loss occurs. Failure to furnish proof within the
time required neither invalidates nor reduces any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible
and in no event, except in the absence of legal capacity of the claimant, no later than one year after the proof of loss is otherwise required.
If Insurer has not provided claim
forms within 15 days after the notice of claim, other proofs of loss should be sent to Insurer by the date proof of loss would be due. The proof of loss should include written proof of
the occurrence, type and amount of loss, the Insured's name, the participating organization name, and the policy number.
Payment of Claims: To Whom Paid: Benefits paid on
account of an Insured's death will be paid to:
- the Beneficiary named by the Insured and on file with the Insurer
- the Insured's spouse, if living. If no living
spouse, then
- in equal shares to his/her living children. If there are none, then
- in equal shares to his/her living parents. If there are none, then
-
in equal shares to his/her living brothers and sisters. If there are none, then
- to the Insured's estate.
If a benefit is payable to a minor or other person who is
incapable of giving a valid release for payment, the payment will be made to the legal guardian of the payee's property. If the payee has no legal guardian for his or her property, the
Insurer may pay up to $1,000 at the Insurer's option, to a relative by blood or connection by marriage who, in the Company's opinion, has assumed care or custody of the minor or
responsibility for the incompetent person's affairs. Any payment Insurer makes in good faith fully discharges Insurer to the extent of that payment.
All other benefits will be
payable to the Insured.
Payment of Claims: When Paid: Claims will be paid as soon as Insurer receives complete proof of loss (and verification of age).
Misstatement
of Age: (Not applicable to FL Residents) If premiums for the Insured are based on age and the Insured has misstated his or her age, there will be a fair adjustment of premiums
based on his or her true age.
Payment of Claims: To Whom Paid: Benefits for Medical Expense/Emergency Medical Transportation services may be payable directly to the provider
of the services. However, the provider: (a) must comply with the statutory provision for direct payment, and (b) must not have been paid from any other sources.
