Feeling frustrated

nannyfran

I've been trawling the net and have made numerous calls for the past 5 hours looking for low cost travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions, I am in my mid fifties and suffered two heart attacks in May of this year and had a stent inserted, I also have rheumatoid arthritis and need a hip replacement but am on a deferred waiting list for this as I am unable to have surgery for 6 - 12 months following my heart attack, it seems as soon as I mention a waiting list companies will not insure me. Please can anyone help I've been through all the companies Martin suggested, some will not insure me others are costing more than the holiday itself, we are travelling to Portugal at the end of the month (fingers crossed) having had the all clear from my cardiologist.

If you were to be honest with yourself, would you offer insurance to someone in your position?

Insurance companies dont like taking on cases where tests are still outstanding or you are on a waiting list form medical treatment. You are extreme high risk to them and you will either be rejected or where you do get accepted, you will pay a massive amount for it. I think you will find that is unavoidable.
