Guest JudgeMental Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I usually take out a yearly family policy for the 4 of us. This year Columbus have moved the goal posts and although they usually except my conditions (Diabetes and related kidney/eye problems) this year have decided to decline me the cover. The rep says they are constantly changing the criteria... anyone any ideas as to where to look next for travel insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Eddie, Have you had a look to what your Bank offerers on maybe on a different account. Our Lloyds one includes 2 children up to age 21 in full time education & they are quite flexible with existing medical conditions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyC Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Judge, Ditto Diabetes, no complications but a few years ago I was on tranqu's for a while. That makes most people just decline, end of story. Even Lloyd's Bank charge me an AP whereas 'just' diabetes, no extra. Why work-induced stress - when I had already packed up work by that time and stopped taking the pills! - was statistically gonna make me more likely to claim, I have absolutely no idea .......

Guest JudgeMental Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks! away at the crack of dawn so to late and not particularly bothered with cover for Italy as we have the EU cards...... I can get cover (at a price) but for individual trips only. Unless do worldwide without the USA and Caribbean. I guess I could have taken the Columbus renewal without cover for pre existing, as at least we would be covered if you broke a leg or what have you... I will investigate further on my return :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Lee Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 miaonline.co.uk are brilliant. Insured my husband (over 60, heart problems) to go to the USA for three months, an annual policy for less than £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingpete Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I moved to the AA travel insurer a few years ago, when others would not cover me to ride large motorcycles in USA, due to me being over 65. Now well over @ 73, but still with AA, especially as a took a tumble in USA at Christmas time and ended up with stitches and big medical bill. AA paid out and offered a new policy for this year, worldwide, no excess, and still only £ 204 for two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbike Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 We also use the AA - covers both the bike riding mentioned above and my diabetes and complications. For diabetic cover try those recommended by Diabetes UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsbob Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi J/M, Try Lifesure. I got a yearly worldwide inc USA & Canada for myself & the Missus for £80 per year. and they will cover you up to your 71st b/day. My missus also has diabetes and I have had a knee replacement, it didn't make any difference to the policy.
