Travel insurance with endo

[shukudai]

Hi, can I ask non medical thing but kind of endo related please?

I have to travel by plane in summer. I need to have a travel insurance and trying to get one online. Does anyone know which company will do with existing medical condition? I had a diagnose lap and I have dense adhesion in my pelvic area and a little bit of endo PoD but not treatment lap yet as I am on the waiting list. Some company won't let me get insurance online as I am on the waiting list.

Can someone give me advice please? Thanks.

Tesco do, I've had insurance through them a couple of times you just have to mention Endo when you apply for it. I don't think they charge a lot extra for it.

Hi.

I usually have the travel insurance that comes with my current account - I have found that they will cover you as long as you declare it.

Do remember that if you are travelling to EU you need the EHIC for emergency treatment.

M&S also do a travel insurance that allows you to declare multiple conditions on one policy quite easily. It's easy to get a quote online too.

I have used the AA in the past but have had problems with some insurance companies

Thanks I will try Tesco, M&S, AA! I don't think my current account has a travel insurance with it though.

I'm with natwest and get travel insurance with my current account. I've not travelled since getting diagnosed with endo but travelled to South East Asia with relatively severe asthma and was no problem. Plus it covers skiing, sky diving, etc etc

I've not had any problems getting insured with endometriosis - as long as you declare your condition when you buy the insurance, you might be asked a couple of (normal) questions about if you've been diagnosed via laparoscopy and when/if you've had any surgery.

Thanks for more replay. I think I had a bit more problem as I am on the waiting list and I had to tick on that bit and some of the website said call the company.

I have an appointment in the end of February and will know more about when my next lap will be. I am wondering if I should get an insurance after that or even after the lap (well depend when the lap is).

Thanks ladies!

I recently got insurance with Debenhams travel insurance and they covered my endo and anxiety due to endo!

hi. i found it extremely difficult getting insurance when i was awaiting surgery. the first time i couldnt get any cover as i was waiting for my first lap so not properly diagnosed. unfortunately they treated it as i could have a terminal illness. although the travel agents allowed us to buy the cover in the first place it wasnt until i read the fine print that i saw they do not cover if awaiting surgery. definately check your policy!!! the second time i went on holiday i managed to get cover through diamond insurance. it cost me around £70 extra for my conditions and i was again awaiting surgery. It would probably be worth waiting until after your treatment lap as you would need to ring them anyway.

I looked through the Martin Lewis website and booked from one on there - they have a ‘pre existing’ list which was super helpful. I got annual cover for a good price

Sainsbury’s covered my endometriosis and my broken leg

U can select for chronic conditions to be covered or not

And paid out within 5 days when I claimed xx
