Travel Insurance recommendations

If you’re on AS with no treatment, I’m not sure you even need to declare it.   Let’s face it, we’re all on AS until we get ill, but until then it shouldn’t affect your travel.  AW

Hello David,

I don't believe you'll have any problem at all getting insurance and you might even be lucky that it won't cost you any nore than standard rates. However it's essential that you declare all health conditions and answer any questions they ask even if you've had no treatment.

I'm assuming your prostate issue will be on your medical record and my view is that you must delcare it, otherwise if something goes wrong when you're away and the insurer discovers you haven't and you're on AS you are likely to find yourself uninsured for everything even if your problem at the time doesn't appear to be directly related to your prostate. I know it doesn't sound reasonable and everyone regards insurance companies as rip-off merchants, but I'm afraid that's one of the fundamental principles of insurance.

When you're obtaining quotes online, if you're not sure what to declare it might be useful to 'phone the insurer for clarification.

I hope you have some great trips.

Derek.

Thank you Derek
