Fast and Efficient Travel Medical Insurance Claim Process: A Game-Changer for Travellers

Hey there, fellow nomads! It’s Isabel and David here, back with another update to make your travel life easier. We’ve been with SafetyWing for the past 4 years, and today, we’re excited to dive into the revamped claim process of Nomad 2.0, which has significantly enhanced our travel medical insurance experience. If you’ve ever been frustrated with travel medical insurances that have slow claim processes, this is the news you’ve been waiting for.

Our SafetyWing Journey: From Faith to Relief

We’ve been full-time travellers for years, and SafetyWing has been our trusted travel medical insurance throughout our journey. Despite loving their customer service, we can’t deny that the old claim process was a bit of a pain. The wait times were daunting, especially after David’s motorbike accident in Vietnam last year, where he injured his shoulder. We had faith in SafetyWing because they had always accepted our claims before. However, due to the severity of David’s injury, we were apprehensive about how to proceed. The claims took time, and we were quite anxious about the delays, unsure if we’d need to cut our travels short to handle the medical bills.

Why We Stuck with SafetyWing

Even with the slow claims, we stayed with SafetyWing because their online chat support was top-notch, answering all our questions quickly and their platform is so straight forward to use. Moreover, you can start the policy anytime even if you are travelling already and stop it whenever you want to.
They eventually covered all of David’s expenses, showing us they were reliable despite the wait. But now, SafetyWing has taken things up a notch with Nomad 2.0, making the claim process quicker and smoother than ever.

What’s New with Nomad 2.0?

SafetyWing’s Nomad 2.0 brings several improvements, but the highlight for us has been the streamlined claims process. Here’s why this is such a big deal:

Faster Claims Processing

One of the biggest headaches with insurance is the claim process. SafetyWing has heard our concerns and delivered a solution that cuts down the processing time significantly. Now, you can start a claim with a simple form in as little as 5 minutes and get reimbursed within just 2.7 days. This is a massive improvement and a huge relief for anyone who’s had to deal with long waits in the past. They simplified the claims process to reduce processing time by 84%.
