Have you tried insurance with, they were the cheapest when I went to florida last year by a mile. Some places wanted £3,000 and some wouldn't even insure my cf. The are good with pre existing conditions, didn't include all my vitamins, creon, just added nebs and antibiotic, which brought it under 8 items instead of 21 items.

They charged £250, with a £1,000 excess for both my hubby and I for two weeks.

Good luck. Were are you going on holiday?

I will check on my cf forum tonight for you, there is a few that do it, a bit short of time now.

Hello Caz, have a look down my list you will see a few that will cover you, the one that says vics got same quote for America and we are both post transplant so hopefully they will cover you. Wishing you all the very best, my friend did Camp America and had a wonderful time and I met up with her after she finished and we travelled all over the East Coast.

Would recommend InsuranceWith for America as that is who I have gone with for my trip to the States in a few months. Note that they have low premiums but high excess payments (in the event that you do have to make a claim).

I was using Staysure but this year I got a quote from Age UK and they offered me a YEARLY insurance. Worth getting a quote - I have not listed my medications or illnesses here as we are all different and you need a personalised quote. What I paid was £401 for myself and husband and we both have medical issues.

I have used several of the insurers mentioned on this page in the past, but this year I tried Unique insurance which is one suggested by BLF and found them very helpful and competitively priced. Plus BLF get a donation due to my purchase(smiles) but everyone is different so it pays to shop around as suggested.
