I, Jhaiphet ***** ***, owner of K.C. ********************, am a retired ********* veteran who operated a respected trucking business for 30 years. On April 25, 2022, our company was the victim of fraudulent activity by New Alliance Insurance ***********, which unauthorizedly debited $2,500 from our bank account under false pretenses related to a fabricated insurance claim.The broker threatened over the phone that if we did not allow the charge, our insurance would be canceled. On May 2, 2022, I received a letter from the ***** confirming our operating authority had been revoked. My business was forced to shut down shortly thereafter devastating our livelihood and legacy.Despite multiple attempts, we only recently discovered the bond numbers and filed our claim against bond #****** (New Alliance) and bond #********* (MDX Insurance Services ***** on June 25, 2025.Tokio Marine HCC has not acted in good faith or in line with their duty as a surety. We submitted full documentation:Proof of unauthorized debit FMCSA revocation notice Bank statements Emails with the broker Confirmation from ** **** (the alleged claimant) that no payment was ever received We were told the claim was under investigation, but no formal resolution has been provided. Instead, weve received vague acknowledgments and ambiguous status updates.This delay is unacceptable. The bonds exist to protect consumers from fraudulent brokers exactly what happened here. WorldTrips and Tokio Marine HCC have an obligation to honor the surety agreement when such a clear violation of ethics and business practice is documented.Business Response

Dear BBB Representative,
Thank you for the opportunity to supplement my complaint against WorldTrips, New Alliance Insurance ***********, and MDX Insurance Services Inc.
I would like to add that on April 25, 2022, $2,500 was withdrawn from my company account by *** **** of New Alliance Insurance ***********, claiming it was a deductible payment for settling a claim with **** ****. However, as of July 3, 2025, **** **** confirmed to me in writing that they never received any payment from the broker or its affiliates. This contradicts a fabricated Loss Run Report dated July 2, 2025, from MDX Insurance Services ***** which falsely states the claim was settled and paid.
I also want to highlight that I never received written cancellation notice from either the broker or insurance company, as required by both California Insurance Code ***** and Nevada NRS 687B.310. Instead, I only found out about my commercial policy cancellation when I received a letter from ***** on May 2, 2022, stating my operating authority had been revoked causing immediate business closure and economic hardship.
This pattern of misrepresentation, unauthorized withdrawals, and fraud has severely harmed me as a 30-year veteran business owner and retired Army combat soldier.
I respectfully ask that the BBB hold these businesses accountable, expedite review of this complaint, and work with Tokio Marine HCC Surety Group to ensure proper restitution under the applicable Surety Bond #****** and Bond #*********.
Thank you again for your attention and continued support.
Sincerely,
Jhaiphet ***** ***

I strongly disagree with WorldTrips claim that they were named in error. WorldTrips is a member of Tokio Marine HCC. I received an email from Bond Examiner ****** ***** confirming the claim is under review for Bond No. ****** (New Alliance Insurance Broker) and Bond No. ********* (MDX Insurance Services). When you input those bond numbers under claims, it clearly shows the policies are underwritten by WorldTrips. Their denial is inaccurate and misleading.

I purchased travel insurance from WorldTrips. I had an accident on April 4th that resulted in a broken arm.

I am a South African student athlete studying cyber security at *********************I bought medical insurance for the year from World Trips (Plan: StudentSecure. Policy Number: 200077873).In returning to ************ for the summer holiday, my dad asked World Trips if I will be covered while back in ************. They did respond that my policy do cover me medically.Due to their informing, we did NOT take out medical insurance while visiting my home country. Thus, the expenses was paid out of pocket.Shortly after arriving I was hospitalize for an acute kidney failure. On being hospitalized we reached out the World Trips. They responded that we must carry the cost and claim it back from them after recovery.We did that. They rejected the claim stating that they do not cover home country expenses.I did appeal formally through their appeal process submitting their email confirming coverage in our home country. The appeal was rejected.The reason provided by WorldTrips is very technical on the terms and conditions.I do not agree with this. They then misled me in informing that I was covered.The claim value is about $1900.Business Response

I am writing to file a formal complaint against WorldTrips regarding a visitors travel insurance policy #VS23482000 I purchased for my parents, who visited the *** between December 25 and January 22.The policy explicitly covered all medical emergencies except for pre-existing conditions. During their visit, my mother experienced a medical emergency, was admitted to the *** received treatment, and was released the same night. This was a non-preexisting condition, and the urgency of the situation was clear. The total bill for the ** visit was $546, and the medications amounted to $80.Despite submitting a claim to WorldTrips with all necessary documentation, the claim was rejected after a lengthy process. This has resulted in the medical provider sending the bill to a debt collector, causing additional stress. Furthermore, WorldTrips has not responded to our emails and has instead sent letters to my parents abroad, notifying them of the rejected claims, exacerbating their stress.It appears that WorldTrips routinely rejects claims regardless of their validity, as corroborated by numerous complaints found during my research. This conduct is unacceptable and indicative of a scam business practice.I request your assistance in resolving this issue promptly, ensuring that WorldTrips honors their policy and reimburses the medical expenses incurred.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

WorldTrips presents itself as a legitimate insurance provider, but in reality, it is a fraudulent business designed to deceive customers and avoid paying out claims. Their strategy involves overwhelming customers with endless paperwork and bureaucracy, as evidenced by their responses. I have already submitted the required form and appealed their decision.Below is the appeal email I sent to WorldTrips at the listed email address in the document they provided.
Meanwhile, they keep sending mail abroad to my parents with CLAIM REJECTED inflicting additional stress. They have even sent mail asking for images of prescription labels from the bottle, and this was submitted and they have still rejected the claim. The amount was $80 that we have paid out of pocket.
I will seek every legal way, and write as many letters necessary to prevent this fraudulent business from inflicting additional damage.

Subject: Appeal for Rejection of Health Insurance Claim for Emergency Room Visit
Policy Number: VS23482100 (primary policyholder name: *******************************) Claim Number: 224-0000036560-00
Dear WorldTrips Customer Service,
I am writing to formally appeal the rejection of my health insurance claim for an emergency room visit on 01/07/2024. I have reviewed the decision and believe that the denial of my claim was completely unfounded. I kindly request a thorough reassessment of my claim based on the information and documentation provided.
On 01/07/2024, I experienced a medical emergency that necessitated an immediate visit to the emergency room. As a policyholder, I expected that my insurance coverage would extend to such critical and unforeseen medical expenses.
I urge you to reconsider your decision to deny my claim of. The emergency room visit was a legitimate and unavoidable medical necessity, fully within the scope of my coverage plan. After all the inquired cost was merely $545, and I was expecting to be fully covered by my insurance.
Denying this claim not only undermines the trust I placed in your services but also demonstrates questionable business practices that could be perceived as scamming policyholders.
Furthermore, if this matter is not resolved promptly and fairly, I will have no choice but to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and consider additional actions to seek justice.
For additional context on similar customer experiences and potential patterns of claim denials, you may refer to the reviews available on Yelp: WorldTrips Travel Insurance Yelp Reviews.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to a favorable resolution.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

I have had world trip insurance for many months and I had a life treatening chest pain and severe headache pn January 16, 2024. I was admitted into the emergency room at ************ and I provided my insurance information to the hospital.Hospital bill was denied, saying it was pre-existing condition. But the policy says that Acute Onset situations are covered and this is what the patient had: ********************* was denied the hospital claim, she had a life treatening extremaly high blood pressure, that she never had before. It was a typical acute onset; her condition suddenly worsened and required immediate treatment.I submitted the appeal to the insurance company and they again deny it.Their response is a manipulation because:- They ignore the fact that the patient was seen for the sevarl reasons one of which was a chest pain which has nothing to do with the blood pressure.I contacted the ***** hospital and they confirmed that their code was chestpain and headache and did not mention the pre-existing condition.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Worldtrips deinied our second appeal claiming again it was due to the pre-existing condition:
1. I am concerned about a clause in my health insurance policy that states:
'The Acute onset of a Pre-Existing Condition does not directly or indirectly relate to a chronic condition or congenital condition.'
The *************** Act protects individuals with pre-existing conditions, including situations where those conditions experience an acute onset. This clause seems to contradict that protection.2. Acute Onset Can Be Related to Pre-Existing Conditions: An acute onset, by definition, is a sudden worsening or flare-up of a pre-existing condition. It's inherently related.
3. Based on your policy: "Acute Onset of Pre-existing Condition means a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence that is of short duration, is rapidly progressive, and requires urgent care". ********************* had a sudden condition that she never had in her life before and she required immediate medical trearment, which is exactly accute onset by your own definition.
3. In the ***** medical records- there is no connection between chest pain, headache and elevated blood pressure, and these two were the main codes from *****.

WorldTrips does not reply to the arguements that- They ignore the fact that the hospital's codes clearly state not pre-existing condition
- Hospital codes indicate urgency, which means accute onset
- The main codes are for the headache and chest pain, no connection between chest pain and blood pressure was noted.

3/16/2024 $564 Trip Insurance Less than 24 hours before our departure on an international trip, our car was broken in to and our daughter's travel items included her passport, drivers license, and credit cards were stolen.There was only one flight per week from our departure to our destination.

I filed an appeal that there was no pre existing condition explaining what I was treated for. As you see, the explanation of the denial from the insurance is very vague avoiding to pay my claim.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this response/resolution is satisfactory to me based on their policy. But their policy is useless for travel medical insurance. You are a foreigner and the only place that you can go to get medical help is the emergency room and then you realize that the situation is serious as I needed to be admitted in the hospital on May 07 and they do not cover you which is scary for preexisting conditions such as diabetes 2 and Kidney stage 4 and because of the bacterial infections that I had from UTI and Pneumonia lead to my complicated treatments of my preexisting condition which is not covered.
Regards,
