Hi, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and on the advice of my consultant I had a hysterectomy, all good and no further treatment needed. My question is has anyone else been refused a claim from ReAssure well woman insurance stating that their cancer wasn't invasive! This is after reports were sent from my consultant which obviously showed that all the cancer had been removed, when I took out the insurance (around 25 years ago) I am sure the information I was given stated that the claim would be paid on diagnosis, and I just wondered if anyone else has had the same response
Hi Fifisunny and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your insurance claim has been refused.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the cervical cancer group as that will give you the opportunity of directly speaking to others who may have experience claiming with this company for cervical cancer.
Clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group where you can then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here and also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
You might also want to contact the ask a financial guide section of the online community to see if they can help you further with your claim or a possible appeal.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
