Staysure Travel Insurance

[Highlander]

Went on-line and got a very reasonable quote even with declared medical conditions.

Then, just to be sure we contacted Staysure to advise them that the present Mrs H is awaiting an operation (not life threatening)

I was astounded to be told categorically that because of the operation Staysure would not cover Brenda for her declared medical conditions !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked the fellow if Staysure would not insurance the possibly hundreds of thousands of people who are awaiting operations to which he replied "correct".

So be very careful when deciding on your travel insurance.

They've probably got no money left having spent a fortune on my medical repatriation from Turkey a few years ago. Thanks Staysure.

I am afraid I am struggling with the logic here.

Brenda's operation has nothing to do with her declared conditions.

And as I said there must be thousands of people who are awaiting procedures/operations and I do wonder how many of them who are insured with Staysure are aware of this condition.

It's easy to understand. People who address their health issues and seek to solve them are not insurable. Those who ignore or avoid them are.

Erm...

Don't dwell on it H. You'll make yerself ill.

We have been at it all week trying to find travel insurance with medical cover. They are all the same.. If you are waiting for an operation or results.. They won't insure you or bang the price up to a ridiculous amount.. The varying amounts are unbelievable.. I went with explorer.. Best price all round and then bought through Topcashback..saved another £36.50.

yeah yeah   

But doesn't really help with the prospect of travelling without medical insurance cover.

Some years ago I was looking to take out travel insurance with Tesco. As we were both on statins we had to do the application via a telephone call as opposed to on line. When I queried why it would be more expensive even though we had our cholesterol levels under control as opposed to those who had never had theirs measured and may be at risk, I was told that that was how it was. However, after quite an extensive conversation on the subject, our premium turned out lower than the one quoted had we renewed on line with no flagging up of a controlled cholesterol level. So, sort of proves your point Scunner,

MedicalTravelCompared.co.uk. Got an excellent quote £15.87 for nine days holiday after detailing my medical conditions. Worth a try no it might be just the job for you.

[Highlander]

Ray that seems extraordinarily cheap.

Cheapest with our declared medical conditions (non life threatening - I hope  ) was £166.00

Would you mind confirmingI confirm that your quote was for 1. Bronze Cover, 2 Single Traveler, 3 to Turkey and 4 with declared medical.conditions.
