Medical & Baggage & Personal Effects claims should be submitted to your primary medical or homeowners insurance company first and provide a copy of your explanation of benefits (EOB). The member can then submit the remaining expenses along with the EOB from their primary insurances with their claim for Chubb Travel Protection to review. Emergency Transportation Arrangements must be made through Chubb Travel Assistance Provider and may be declined if arrangements were not completed by the designated assistance provider.
Q: Who is covered under my Chubb ResortCom Basics Plan?
A: The Chubb ResortCom Basics plan applies to anyone listed on the Vacation Ownership for benefits. Example, if spouses are both listed on the contract, the wife will be covered by the benefit no matter if she is traveling with the husband or not. Should the spouses have a child that was not listed on the resort contract, the child would not be eligible for services if traveling alone without the parents unless he was traveling to their designated resort and had a verified guest certificate. Additionally, guests in the travel party are not covered unless they are on the contract. However, anyone traveling with the members (up to 6 traveling companions total) are covered for benefits on the ResortCom Essentials plan.

A: Yes, as long as they have the valid guest certificate through the Vacation Ownership, they would be eligible for coverage.
Q: Are all members in my travel party covered? Do they have to be listed on same reservation? Can they be in different rooms? Do they have to have same exact travel dates?
A: If traveling with the member, this would be available on the ResortCom Essentials plan. They do not need to be on same reservation and can be in different rooms. Dates should reflect the majority of the trip sharing the same travel dates.
