Travel Insurance with Pre-existing Medical Conditions

Klingon Hamlet

Hi guys I really need your help. My friend's mum who is 65 is travelling to Canada in a few weeks time. She has angina, arthritis and an underactive thyroid.

She's taking aspirin for her heart, lipitor for thyroid, she takes 4 medications for her blood pressure, 1 for arthritis, and she's had stents...

We rang Multitrip.com and they refused to cover her.

Does anyone know who will cover her?

Thanks!

Does she have VHI?

They are ok when you have medical conditions.

Mentioned here yesterday (for persons with pre-existing medical conditions) was a company called Allclear Travel Insurance. I think the quote is in sterling, but Ireland is covered.

Try All clear Insurance, I was very impressed with it, they quote me £99.64 for multiple trip for a year, I have serious illness that a lot of Insurance company wont cover..

VHI cover pre-existing and you don't need to be a VHI health insurance customer any more in order to be covered by them. However, you might have to have some sort of medical insurance to qualify.

Hi, don't mean to hijack this but I have a similar issue and since this thread is a few years old I want to see if anybody has any recent advice on good cover. I'm going on honeymoon with my husband to be in September. He has Epilepsy and i'm struggling to find a good health insurance provider. with VHI multi trip from what I can see you need to have had a health insurance policy with them for 5 years before they cover for pre existing on their travel insurance policy. Any advice is much much welcomed

Ring Allianz. They have a medical screening centre which will give you a quote over the phone for pre existing conditions.
