Travel Insurance , Dental treatment abroad and Asthma as a Pr-existing condition.

[MSH01]

Hello.

I intend on sending my mum to Turkey for Dental implant surgery. She has Asthma a pre-existing condition. I am trying to find her an insurance policy that will cover her in the (god forbid) eventuality that she has any problems during/after implant surgery.

Initially I found a company called Medical Travel Shield, who seemed perfect, until I saw that pre-existing conditions were not covered, despite the fact they had a fantastically comprehensive dental treatment insurance policy.

I have spent 20 hours and called 17 different insurers/brokers looking for somebody who will help me. Im feeling disheartened and really frustrated.

I need an insurance policy that will either

a) Cover for the pre-existing condition in the knowledge that she is going for implant surgery or

b) Cover for dental treatment that does to exclude asthma as a pre-existing condition.

I am sure I am not the only person who has gone through this, please can anybody help?

Try Staysure. They cover my asthma. They have three bands 1 to 2 then 3 to 5 drugs etc. I’m in the 3 to 5 group. They also cover older people which many travel insurance companies won’t.

Evil insurance companies. Never understood the concept of health insurance, b.c. of the pre-existing condition clause. Unless one stays with the same company from age 0 till death, and lives in one place all of her/his life.
