travel insurance needed whilst waiting for surgery, any ideas who can offer it, a week in Croatia
Hi Gogs 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 don't have any experience of obtaining travel insurance whilst waiting for surgery but a holiday to Croatia sounds lovely.
Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to get travel insurance when you have a cancer diagnosis and I wondered if you've looked through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet, as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. If not, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
Most people recommend that it's best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal.
Make sure that you have all the information to hand about your diagnosis and treatment before contacting the insurers. This is a list of things an insurance provider might want to know when you're applying for insurance. Some providers might ask for a letter from your doctor saying that you are well enough to travel. This could come from your cancer team or GP.
Do come back and let us know how you get on
