Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that my husband who has a heart condition can use to get cover for a holiday this summer.
Travel Insurance: Can anyone recommend... - British Heart Fou...
Travel Insurance
Yes I would highly recommend Avanti insurance I have a mechanical aortic valve a repaired aorta and heart failure, they covered me when others wouldn’t and at a reasonable price.
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!
I use saga
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!
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 agree
Try FreeSpirit, they covered mefollowing Mitral valve repair.Very easy to discuss over the phone
If you are near Wythshawe hospital (Manchester) they have a Defibrillator Support Group which has a list of Insurers and other requirements to help you.
If not, contact your local cardiac centre and ask if they have a Support Group.
