UK: Question About Travel Insurance/pre-existing Medical Conditions?

Question by Sir Hoochalot | Posted in Insurance

I had what they called a "unexplained sponteneous episode of haemoptysis" last Feb (basically my lungs filled up with blood which I coughed up) and was hospitalised for two weeks. This was over a year ago and my doctor says it's perfectly safe for me to fly/go abroad. However, I was never diagnosed with any illness or condition as they did numerous tests and couldn't find the cause of what happened. My doctor says it was just "one of those things", that I probably just had a very

Answer: Firstly, enjoy your holiday - we drove through Germany once and it was lovely!

Secondly, I am not sure, some family members had problems a little similar and I think they stayed with normal insurance because of money problems and what not. Maybe if you contact your doctor again (hoping he isn't like mine) he can give you some more information. If you also contact a insurance company directly, i.e over the phone and speak with someone explaining your problem, you may be able to get a little further.

If you feel lie you're going to be fine, which hopefully you will be, then maybe if you just listed a condition down which could be a little similar. Not that there
 
 

Cheap Travel Insurance For Those With Pre Existing Medical Conditions?

Question by zakiit | Posted in Insurance

I am going to the United States (San Francisco) in January of 2011 for 3 weeks. I suffer from high blood pressure (controlled by tablets) and diabetes type 1 (Insulin dependent). I am told by my brother-in-law that I should get insurance for myself for the three week period. I have had a couple of quotes from some very unfriendly people over the phone and wonder if anyone has had experience of buying insurance with these conditions and who I might approach for the best deal?

Answer: Try Saga. www.saga.co.uk

Yes I know they are supposed to only cater to older people, but they will take any age.

Because they do cater to mainly older people, Diabetes is something they deal with a lot,

My mother had a similar problem, and they were a good caring company,

The additional cost was only minimal.

Have fun in San Francisco. I have been there, its a great place.

Travel Insurance For People With Pre-existing Medical Conditions (UK)?

Question by zabeonline | Posted in Insurance

Can anybody recommend a travel insurance company that specialises in travel insurance for people with pre-exisiting medical conditions in the UK? Thanks.

Answer: A lot depends on the nature of the conditions, if a specialist is involved and any changes to medication as well as the length of the conditions.

You could try http://www.portwood.co.uk/ for a range of companies all of whcih will consider pre-existing medical conditions. If the conditions are not too serious the best bet would be the BIBA travel scheme (if they quote) as if they accept the condition they won't increase the premium.

We Are Trying To Obtain Travel Insurance For My Brother A Pre Existing Medical Condition Called Cardio Myopath

Question by vic_bourke | Posted in Heart Diseases

Can anyone advise whether they have obtained travel cover with this pre existing condition and if so, which company. We are in Australia wanting to travel to the USA and Europe.
Hope you can help as we have tried heaps of companies who effectively don't want to know.
Thanks for your time.

Answer: Airlines offer travel insurance and their coverage is not dependent upon pre existing conditions as an airplane disaster has nothing to do with a passenger's health. Health insurance with a pre existing condition is another matter. It is always available but not always affordable. I pray that his cardiomyopathy is well treated and that he enjoy good cardiac funtion - and finally - that he enjoys his travels.
