help with travel insurance

hi all
I am in the process of finding travel insurance and I need a bit of guidance with a question about pre existing medical conditions .I had an heart attack five and half years ago with no problems since and did not need any operation or stents .so is this classed as a pre existing condition very confusing .

    You need to read the conditions for each policy.

    I think most state that any previous heart condition must be declared.

    If you are not sure phone and ask if you need to declare it.

    You have to declare any pre existing condition but I would ring rather look online.

    The quotes I was getting for my daughter were £300+ online but when I rang it ended up costing £178 considering her issues this was reasonable.

    She is with able2travel .

  • Hi, speak to the guys at Pulse Insurance Ltd (I can't post a link because I'm new to the site) they are able to arrange travel insurance for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.

    Hope that helps.
