Thanks

Where I’ve previously struggled with not finding my heart condition listed with some travel insurance providers, I have picked up the phone and called them directly to get clarification from them to ensure that I am picking the right policy as I would hate to travel with something that is invalid. Giving them a call with all your questions would be the best way forward I think.

Good luck.

Thank you x

Don’t forget to declare all of your sister’s diagnoses, and any other investigations she might be currently undergoing as failing to do this may well invalidate her travel insurance x

Hi Barry,Not sure who you are going with, but try staysure. The are excellent with medical conditions and are good on the phone too.

Hi Barry,

Can you let us know how you get on with finding travel insurance for your sister and her loop recorder please!

I can suffer from tachycardia which is the travel insurance companies classify as arrhythmia……and then the next question is whether I have AF and what treatment am having. I will be interested to know what their take is regarding the loop recorder! X

Hi I went with paying to much. I first declared heart failure which allowed me to add her medication. Then added arrhythmia and chose another form of treatment as loop recorder was not listed i have declared all her other problems ( shes falling to bits lol ) my husband has prostate cancer and a few other conditions and i was £395 for 10 days for all 3 of us which i thought wasn't bad staysure wanted £638

Thank you for the info! I had never heard of PaytooMuch - worth investigating!

Have a good holiday x
