Serious insurance company that operates pretty quickly. Unfortunately, they don’t cover eye and ear care, so that’s something to be aware of. Other than that, they’ve been quite effective and I have n... See more

⚠️ They've lost a customer! (Reddit was right about them after all!!!)

I have been using Genki since 2024 and always paid my invoices, due to a payment error they've just decided to completely cancel my policy instead of reaching out to me first. I told the agent (Jets) that I've never received any emails about this and he just kept sending me AI responses. I'm very disappointed and actually wanted to upgrade to Genki native. But they've lost another customer. Guess it's not for nothing that people on Reddit hate this company so much.

*EDIT*

@Pedro, nice story but I did not receive this email it might have been send but it's not in my spam neither in any other folder. So please explain where this email is?

Hi Dylan,

Thank you for your feedback.

I’d like to clarify how this process works.

When a payment fails, we do not immediately cancel coverage. We follow a structured process to give members multiple opportunities to resolve the issue:

An initial email reminder is sent days before the charge attempt

An email is sent when the payment fails

A final email reminder with a payment deadline is sent a week afterward

A final confirmation by email is sent once cancellation becomes effective

We offer a grace period of several weeks during which coverage is not canceled immediately, and the outstanding amount can still be settled.

The outstanding payment is also clearly displayed in the Member Center, including the deadline and an option to retry the payment at any time.

Maintaining a valid payment method and ensuring payment is successful are the member's responsibility. From our side, we make multiple efforts to notify customers and explain the consequences of non-payment, including contract termination and account restrictions.

That said, in some cases, we can review requests and grant a one-time exception to lift the account restrictions, depending on the circumstances.

If you would like us to take another look at your case, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Stay healthy 🌱
Pedro

First time using this service

First time using this service , checked reviews and all seemed good. Booked insurance online , then contacted via chat using watts app and spoke with jet and ricardo. Both were awesome and responded quickly and answered all my questions . Only feedback I would give is to business into system the ability to book to a specific end date as could be easy to forget to cancel and be charged when insurance e is not required but otherwise excellent app and staff arrive was top notch

Worked Well For Us

We did the traveler insurance for 3 months in Brazil and it worked great. Had a small emergency and ended up in the hospital, and the claim and payment process was pretty smooth and quick. Will definitely be using them again for future international travels.

They reimbursed my claim

I've been using Genki Explorer for more than a year but until recent times hadn't made any claims.

However, recently I got sick in Thailand and decided to visit a doctor. I just found the one with best reviews on Google Map and headed there.

Got diagnosed, prescribed antibiotics and other medication. The bill was ~220 EUR. At the same day I've filed the claim with Dr Walter and upload documents from the clinic.

Just after 8 days my claim was approved for ~170 EUR (because of 50 EUR deductible). They just approved it right away, without unnecessary questions or delays – a big plus.

But payment process took much longer. They answered sometimes once per week, first sent me a Revolut form with bank details even if I told them to transfer to my Wise. After Revolut form didn't work out, after few weeks they reached out again and asked for Wise payment link.

The entire process took almost 2 months and many back-and-forth emails but finally they paid it. So happy to recommend them, these guys are legit.

Happy customers will be returning

Our family was insured for over a year, and we had one instance where we required the insurance's assistance. The insurance was very responsive and very helpful, covered the entire hospitalization, and we will be happy to return once we start our travels again.

Mid-range health insurance

I bought health insurance with Genki. It was mid-range coverage and was easy to sign up for and cancel. I never had to use it, thankfully; however, I am not sure how easy it is to claim.

I don't write many reviews......

I don't write many reviews. I am beyond impressed with the service Genki offers. I've used other insurance companies in the past, and the claims process is long-winded; it almost puts you off claiming.

My experience with Genki has been the complete opposite. I uploaded my medical reports and bills, and within minutes, the claim was processed and paid.

You have restored my faith in insurance products!
