Obtaining Travel Insurance
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008I’m start to post my thoughts about this life. Well, one of most important thing - insurance.
Travel Insurance
Many people are finding it increasingly difficult to find adequate travel insurance if they have recently recovered from an illness. This is resulting in travellers excluding certain medical conditions on their policy; a tactic that can leave them high and dry should the condition return whilst they are holidaying.
Insurers vary in their willingness to include pre-existing conditions in their policies. One clever guy says: ˜You can’t exclude just one medical condition nor cherry pick illnesses you declare. The option you’re given is to have cover at a price or not to have them covered.
A pre-existing medical condition is classed as: ˜Any past or current medical or psychological sickness, disease, condition, injury or symptom that has given rise to symptoms or for which any form of treatment or prescribed medication, medical consultation, investigation or follow-up/check-up has been required or received during the 2 years prior to the commencement of cover under this policy and/or prior to any trip. Also included are any cardiovascular or circulatory conditions such as strokes or aneurysms.”
So, some useful words about people who want arrive to USA.

Good reasons of having travel insurance when you travel to the USA.

This is due to the USA is a huge country and there are so many unexpected situation happening everyday. So visitor must be very careful when traveling around the country.

Travel insurance for certain conditions is more sensitive than others. Macmillan Cancer Support and the Royal Bank of Scotland launched their Recovered But Not Covered campaign last summer and are fighting an ongoing battle against what they see as discrimination against cancer sufferers. Macmillan claim that the exorbitant amounts that former cancer sufferers are being charged in insurance costs is out of all proportion to the risk that they pose the insurer.
Macmillan Cancer Support’s head of campaigns Ayesha Owusu-Barnaby says:
˜More people are living long and active lives after cancer, and that’s why Macmillan is calling on the travel insurance industry to look again at the risk posed by people affected by cancer and improve the deal offered to them. Research carried out by charity Cancerbackup backs up Macmillan’s grievances, stating that whilst 70% of cancer sufferers were given the all-clear to travel by their doctors the premiums offered were so high that one in ten had cancelled their holiday and one in twenty had gone abroad but without any cover.”
