Insurance has certainly turned into a minefield.
Both my wife's conditions (rheumatoid arthritis) and my taking blood pressure and statins were previously accepted with no loading.
On renewal her pre-existed condition would not be covered.
Unfortunately within the last 12 months she had surgery for endometrial cancer. Tumour was removed and fortunately was only at stage 1.
Three examinations later by consultant showed no complications, however because this was within one year since surgery LV would only give cover for my conditions.The cancer condition I

Don't know what happened there!!
The cancer condition I could understand but not the RA. It would appear that both would now constitute high risk.
After long negotiation with insurer they are now prepared to extend the cover for my next booked trip but after, it would appear on my wife's conditions she will not be covered.
As for cost it was previously £264 now £324 and was to a degree down to the value of the £. Presumably over-seas costs/claims had reflected this.

H, I was wondering if you have looked at SAGA for insurance. Thats the company I go with, but then again I normally just purchase a short term policy, as I only take one holiday a year.

Your quite right Mary it does depend on the length of stay you require. Saga I believe has a maximum cover of 120 days per year and individual trip limit of 45 basic day cover although can be extended at extra cost. This was the main reason we took LV as their premier cover is for 90 days and automatically covers Turkey as Europe, not all companies do.

A friend who knows her stuff rang round dozens about this and said the only one who could definitely confirm they do cover treatment in private hospitals was Saga.

Our very good friend the boatman took us straight to Esnaf when the present Mrs H had her problem with her knee.

No problems whatsoever and we were insured with Saga then.

Off topic.......

Having re-read my last post I am reminded of the great Bill Shankly's quote when one of his team said he couldn't play on the Saturday because he had hurt his leg. Shankly replied "It's Liverpool's leg, you're playing !"

That could be why I confirmed Saga use private hospitals then
