chris Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 EHIC plus Has anyone any comment about this travel insurance? It will cover us for over 90 days, over 70 and with medical conditions. There are not many companies that will do this. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Chris We are with Uk InsuranceLtd, which is provided by Nationwide, to customers. Like you both over 70 (nearer to 80!) medical conditions, and we have cover for 90 days, but I think you can extend for longer, but 90 days has to be our maximum, due to medical condition I know not quite what you asked, but thought it might help (cost £124.00) PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Try using 'insurance surgery' the site will give you names of companies that insure for medical conditions, not sure about the over 90 days thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 http://www.ehicplus.com/marketing/contact Looks interesting, as really looks like a top up/ repatriation insurance for within the EU. You will have to use state hospitals and be careful not to be taken to a private one in an emergency (like a lot of unsuspecting tourists) It's from Mafree the major Spanish insurer that are the company behind many insurers such as staysure. I will be calling for a quote tuesday! :-D :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Very interesting I'll take a look, I have the early stages of COPD, and aged 67, and the quote from Staysure for 50 days in France was £424, I must be about to snuff it. :-S Just done an online quote from them £145, I'm guessing that it really is an insurance to ship you as a stiff back to the UK, as Eddie said it just seems like an extension to the EHIC scheme.

Its really sounds like a version of the repatriation insurance that many long termer's in Spain that I spoke to last winter have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Have used it but never claimed so no idea how good it is, this is the case with most insurance, you will never know until you use it.

Basil Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would try http://www.insureandgo.com/?_$ja=kw:insure+and+go|cgn:Insure+and+Go|cgid:1719367457|tsid:25156|cn:Insure+%26+Go+Brand_DT|cid:30977477|lid:87904961|mt:Exact|nw:search|crid:7685129417&gclid=CNealtf1hLcCFSXItAodHFQAgw No upper age limit and very reasonable IMO, we have several medical conditions noted and annual multi trip is still very competetive, under £100 for both of us.

chris Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks Basil. Will start getting final quotes from tomorrow on now. Might have to delay a bit as waiting for medical results but should be off Sunday or within 2 weeks. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Are you sure about age limit? I'm with them and after the age of 65 you are limited to a measly 30 days per trip. I shall be leaving them next year..

I shall be leaving them next year.. They state on their home page 'no upper age limit' but with the exception of two inacuricies you make, when you look at the frequently asked questions they do stipulate over the age of 66 you are limited to 31 days, though with the annual policy that can be as many times as you desire.

Patricia Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have just had a look at the EHIC Plus website and the maximum quote was for 60 days priced at £97 for one person. I think they only cover to age 79 (I'm not that old yet) but 60 days is no good to me so I didn't even bother to go further to put in medical problems.

Basil For many of us a 31 day trip is not much more than a weekend break. That is why I shall be leaving them.; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
