THE LARGE PRINT GIVETH, THE SMALL PRINT TAKETH AWAY
This is true of insurance policies. The companies always list the benefits in large letters on their brochures and web sites. The astute buyer of insurance also checks the small print. It is especially important to note the small print on the “Schedule of Benefits” page. And also read the “Exclusion” section, as it is almost always written in very small print. Most of the things on the “Exclusion” page are standard with various plans, e.g., no coverage for cosmetic surgery, suicide, etc. But read carefully because sometimes some key benefits you are interested in may be excluded from coverage.
Often the insured gets upset when he finds out that the company he is insured with will not cover a specific medical need. But usually the company has spelled out very carefully what it will not cover--in the small print! So read the small print very carefully!

"Jeff, I just wanted to say a quick "Thank You" for the newsletter, or "Quarterly E-Bulletin." I don’t know if this is all your work or a team, or you buy content, or just who puts it together; but I’ve gotta say it’s one of the few pieces of its kind that I actually *read* top-to-bottom. [The "Quarterly Bulletin" is written by Jeff, assisted by the GNI staff.]"
"Nelma, Thank you so much for your immediate help in getting my credit from the insurance company. It’s this kind of service from you and your partners that keeps me coming back to GNI for ALL my international insurance needs. "
"Trish, Thanks so much for your follow-up on this. We actually got a check in the mail already, covering all the charges minus the $250 deductible. I was surprised and pleased that we got it so quickly! Thank you again for taking care of us. You have been extremely helpful, Trish."
"Doug, I wish to thank Pei for the first class service I received. I value great customer service having worked for a Japanese airline for 17 years. I believe the service reflects the management."
