Guest 1footinthegrave Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Rod - 2013-08-05 1:51 PM Hi, Try LV (Liverpool Victoria) the Premium policy covers up to 90 days per trip on the annual policy and up to 79 years of age. I have recently paid approx. £150 with a minor existing medical condition. If you find better I would be interested ! Rod. How very odd, just this morning I was talking to my niece, they have just recently returned home and had a LV policy, her partner had an abscess form while they were away that needed hospital treatment, at a cost of over £1000, plus their additional costs they were involved with, she said it was all handled without fuss, and very efficiently, she did say however they did contact their GP to ensure the conditions listed on their proposal included everything in their medical records. This is something that I requested from my GP surgery a copy of the conditions that could be a factor should I need to claim, and was told it was not generally available to the patient, I'm getting back to them now in case there is something there that shouldn't be.

nowtelse2do Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mike I might be wrong but I was under the impression that the doctor could not now refuse your request. Does anyone know for sure? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just received pensioners quarterly review from my previous employer. QUOTE - Travel Insurance for ill & older travellers. A new website has been launched specifically designed to help travellers who are over 65 or who need travel insurance that covers pre-existing medical conditions, but who have difficulty finding it at a reasonable price. people will answer a simple set of questions concerning their health & will then be matched with a list of Insurers, the premiums they will charge & their terms & conditions of cover. For further information visit www.medicaltravelcompared.co.uk (End of QUOTE) I've not looked at it yet, but may be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the link but quotes came up with max of 31 days so unless phone direct not to good. Have a quote from the OkToTravel link which provide 92 day so indebted to 1foot. I just cant get my head round these quotes as they appear all different to different people with similar medical conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just to update. Went to purchase from OkToTravel and thankfully their computer system failed and I had to telephone. Multi trip duration is only up to 31 days so useless. Single trip can be 180+, but 90 days only for over 75. Will need to keep looking. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnerontheroad Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's strange how these companies seem to work, last year I spent 2 day solid looking and phoning and had quotes from £2k to £350 and for the per existing sometimes I felt I was talking to the same company, as if they were working for 2 or 3 insurance companies and coming up with different quotes.

sshortcircuit Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I confirmed the 90 days by phone and then completed on line. Very impressed.

Guest 1footinthegrave Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Virtually every online outfit I have requested a quote from have had identical tick boxes and medical screening options and questions, probably most of them being nothing more than brokers for the same underwriters, I'm about to try compare the meerkat .com, see if that throws up anything different, have tried L&V but still far more expensive than the best quote I've had so far from OK to travel .com, hope that helps some folks ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallii Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 You have the right to view any medical information on you held by doctors, nurses, dentists etc. For some strange reason there needs to be some additional entry made within the last 40 days. If you want print outs or manual copies it will cost. When I inspected my records some years back it id not go down well, I was questioned as to why I wanted them, I was told I would not understand them, I was told that I could see some but not all, but I did see the lot in the end. Doctors are worried that such a request is the start of a malpractice claim so probably best to tell them why you need it. Now I can ask for, and get, either a print out or written summary at an appointment if I ask for it, sometimes even without asking. Mrs H and I both have a varied medical history to long to list here, LV insured us both for multitravel up to 90 days each trip for £186 for both of us. We are both over 70.
