Hi I use Avanti I find them the best both in the cover they offer and the amount they charge.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The two companies I recommend are StaySure and All Clear. I would strongly recommend you do not go on price alone as some will have serious loopholes and get out clauses. If you can remove the USA and Caribbean, and cruising premiums will come down considerably. I suspect though that you might be looking at Florida so premiums will be high as treatment there can quickly reach six or seven figures!

If you want to compare prices try these:

goodtogoinsurance.com

medicaltravelcompared.co.uk

JustTravelcover.com

Just remember to declare all ! Better than having a nasty surprise if you needed to claim .

Happy holidays!

Try CSiS insurance. When nobody else would cover us, they did and at a very reasonable price.

Try a comparison site for insurance with pre-existing medical conditions and go from there . We are all different and it seems that insurance providers assess the risk differently which results in different premium prices and occasionally providers declining to cover. However if you get consistently high prices it suggests the risk is considered high, so there is little you can do to change that other than reduce the extent of cover which may be inadvisable.

I was with Staysure for a few years before my HA. Was recomended Avanti through this forum. After getting scary quotes from a comparison site I got a much better quote direct from Avanti and Staysure with good terms.

A discount code of 20% of the basic premium popped up and helped bring it down further with Avanti. 30 minutes after taking out cover with Avanti I received a call from Staysure and they said they could have discounted the cover even further.

So don’t give up if prices start off high. Search about and maybe look for discount codes and be open to giving a telephone number which might just lead to someone contacting you with an improved offer.

Good luck and happy holidays. 😎😎
