I know this has been asked a lot of times,but when I do search I get all information for all types of diseases. I'm looking if anyone has managed to get travel insurance for PV. Only looking for UK travel.thanks.

Hi mark It’s not easy to get cheap assurance with any health condition's and blood cancers flags up , my experience is , I had to go into detail to explain my condition ET-MF then is was put in the records once I spelt it Mylo fibrosis , since then covid stopped assurance from bank so now if I do travel will have to declare condition to a independent assurance agent and it will cost me more ! There are assurance agents out there to help people with cancer ! Best of luck

Thank you. I thought I'd read it was difficult with PV.

Hello Mark. I have mine with staysure. I have PV. Might be worth checking out. Take care

Hi mark382, I don’t have PV but I do have ET and I found that my travel insurance through my bank account covered it at no extra cost. So my advice would be to not purchase travel Insurance online but instead talk to a travel insurance advisor. That certainly helped me.

Thanks for the information. I'll have a look at them.

Hi Mark

I have been diagnosed with PV and got travel insurance with Admiral Insurance. I have declared both high blood pressure and the PV.

With regards to the PV they ask if you have developed AML, Myleodyplastic syndrome or MF and if you have had any unplanned hospital admissions. I had neither of these and premiums were reasonable.

You can have normal, gold or premium policies.

Obviously if you are covered free with your bank then great. But if not this may be of help.
