Travel Insurance 2

Thank you all for your considered opinions on this matter. It is a tricky one, but like many have said, I will attempt to declare it. I think that the condition I have is Atheroma. I have been using this in the medical declarations, as it seems to be the right fit. Depending on which companies you go with, the premiums are not too prohibitive. To this end, has anyone used any of the companies listed above ? Any to recommend ? or steer clear of? ... Thanks & regards

morning. Please stay do not use Coverwise / AXA. I had purchased my annual travel insurance with them last year. My husband then suffered a HA followed by a OHCA and clearly was not fit to fly. Thankfully he’s doing really well. No previous heart issues so totally unexpected. I had an absolute nightmare trying to claim back our flights . They repeatedly asked for his last 2 years medical history. Which has provided by the doctor. Which consisted of 2 docs appointments over 2 years. It took more than 4 months to get them moving and that was only after I posted on their twitter account. So please do not use them.

I had exactly the same issue with this company. People give 5 stars on trust based on buying the insurance but they’re only as good as their claims department. Was fit and healthy when bought then found out that I had heart failure and needed valve surgery. Sent them everything. Eventually they paid out after 11 months. Think they assumed I’d go away quietly.

Absolutely shocking way to treat people who buy from you. Buying beware 😡

But more importantly I do hope you are well? All the best 😊
