Absolute waste of money.
Please avoid this company at all costs. They advertise that they process claims in 5 days but once you sign up you find out is actually 30-40. They also fabricate excuses to deny claims, such as claiming that a diagnostic test that was negative was a “pre-existing condition”. Choose a different company, this one is fraudulent.
