Not too easy to change dates

published

Haven’t claimed anything. But as my termination dates were very raw when I’ve signed policy, I was ensured that it would be easy to extend dates or cut shorter if needed. Reality is that it took me more than a month to cut dates due to early return due to Covid-19. And they do not refund if you have less than 1 month of policy left, which was extra unpleasant surprise. So be careful, it is better to make policy shorter and then extend it rather than pay for duration and struggle to get your money back

Worst experience ever

published

Will never ever recommend it again. Waste of money. used this insurance for 1 year but not even 1 claim was successful. Basic cover doesn’t cover anything. So paying 1000 dollars is useless

Worse experience after 6 years of using Allianz

published

Had a very worse experience with them, after I had made arrangements prior to my hospital admission. They refused to pay the bill which was such a hard thing on us.

Hi Sajak, I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your claim experience, but thank you for sharing your feedback. Kind regards, Tegan

Simply the worst policy

published

A policy that only pays 80% of the Medicare levy is not worth the paper its
Written on, and when canceled only got back a quarter of the policy amount after only 2months of being covered

Bad experience. No response

published

I have been trying to email Allianz asking about my cover details since last 3 week, sent 3 emails, and still haven't heard anything back from them.

I was with them for 4 years for my OSHC, and without any doubts, still decided to continue with them for my OVHC. Feeling so disappointed with how they respond and consider to switch the company after this.

Great Service and commitment to customer satisfaction

published

The OVHC was very prompt and professional in dealing with my claims. They understood the unfortunate situation in which we needed to take their help while hospitalization. They prioritized the claims and were very thorough in every interaction I had while hospitalization and claim process. I strongly recommend their OVHC product for every overseas traveller; especially if they are elderly who may need medical attentions.

Incorrect fees charged

published

My policy expired 4 days ago and i called them to extend my policy. I was charged from the expiry date though i should have been charged from the date i called. They ripped me off and the customer associate was rude. They did not agree to provide a refund for those 4 days.
what if I had an emergency when my policy expired. I am sure they wud have told your policy has expired and cannot provide cover. But when it came to fees they charged me from the expiry date without my consent and disagreed to refund me for those 4 days.

Good service experience about OVHC

published

Due to the novel Virus in 2020, I cancelled the trip and want to also cancelled the deal with Allianz due to irresistibility. I sent the Email for assistance before 4 days the insurance comes into effect. After about two working weeks, the customer service agent contacted me and provided the refund process. I'm satisfied about the communication and professional quality of them. I will choose them again if I have the chance

Asking for policy cancellation is frustrating and not responding

published

Quick quote and easy process to purchase the policy. But when asking for cancellation of the policy it seems to be different story, 15 business days passed since the request for policy cancellation, no response from customer service so far.
