Have got copd. had heart bi pass and type 2 diabitis. Finding it difficult to get insurance at a reasonable price (if at all)

COPD only 1 hospital admission around 5 years ago. bi pass 3 years ago (no probs) and just diagnosed with diabitis. Any suggestions-other than not included illness on my insurance.

Many thanks

I hate to admit this but hubby nearer 80 than 70 yrs has Nine Conditions I have to declare,and I have three,. We both have copd,. After a lot of time spent on research I decided upon "All Clear ". They were the best, The premium I paid was alot less than some companies who wanted 50% more without any medical conditions added. ......At least they are worth asking....Good luck.

The cost varies depending on where you are going.

Listed in the pinned post medicaltravelcompared.co.uk is a comparison site so will search out a load of quotes for the same conditions. For Europe they have found me very competitive quotes - £27 covering COPD, and several other issues; and is including my OH (no conditions).

I am 69 with COPD and Emphysema and even Saga declined but try Allclear who took me on and not that expensive! Staysure insured me 2 years before I had added problems and they charged me over £2,000 for a month cruise. Staysure declined me this time for a 2 week holiday in France and Spain.
