Travel Insurance
Hi Ladies and Gents, just thought I'd let you know that there is a new provider of travel insurance that covers pre-existing conditions. http://www.columbusdirect.com.au/ . I made my 25th anniversar...
I am also confused about travel insurance. My treatment finished over a year ago and my 1 year check up was all clear. I am also going to Europe but the travel insurance companies I have contacted have said yes it is pre-existing and really upped the cost. I can understand if you have heart problems etc where you may need medical attention while you are away but I consider 'my condition' no longer exists! And anyway if it did come back while I was away I wouldn't need treatment right there and then.
One company even wanted to charge me $75 to do a risk assessment test before even giving me the insurance and one doubled the insurance!!!!!
I'm really interested in seeing what others have to say. Glad you bought it up Maggier, I didn't even think about bringing it up here!
