    thankswendy for the info, that sounds promising.  I used covermore in November, they wouldnt cover for bc but for another condition I have (factor 5, prone to DVT)  how long is your trip?  Hubby are I are hopefully going to europe in september for 6 weeks, doing the trip we had to cancel last year due to my cancer and chemo.  My diagnosis was 2011 but I will see what they say.

    Hi everyone,

    I used Covermore last year when I spent 5 weeks overseas.  They covered me for BC (I finished treatment on July 1st and traveled in Sept). 

    I am currently arguing with them now as they have denied me cover for 1 weeks travel next month.  I have pointed out that they covered me last year and they're saying it's because I didn't disclose that I had lymph node involvement.  This is not the case, as I was reviewed by a nurse from Covermore and we went through everything associated with my condition.  I'm digging up all the files on it. 

    I'm lodging a complaint if they deny me.  I'm not fussed about getting the cover, it's more about changing the rules.  Its extremely unfair.

    Cass

    Hi,

    I complained to Covermore about being denied cover, explaining that they covered me last year.  I had microscopic spread to 1 lymph node and they claimed that I didn't disclose this last year.  Had I disclosed it they would not have covered me.  I was pretty annoyed, given that I work in insurance (albeit Life insurance) and I'm well aware of the importance of disclosing info.  I went back through all of my emails with them and discovered that they changed their assessment form this year ... last years form never asked me if my cancer had spread.  It just asked about my treatment mainly.  Anyway, so I sent a cranky email along with all my supporting info and within a few hours I had a very nice email offering me cover!  So for $180 they're covering me (which is $120 + $60 loading).

    Yay to a Friday win!
