Re: Bit the Bullet! Travel Insurance

[Guest guest]

LOL!! Ah Dave don't you just love customer " service " reps? Most of them

can't think outside the little cue sheets they keep in front of them. Glad

you got it worked out and I hope you have a wonderful time in Cancun.

I travelled a few times while I had IgAN - only to the U.S., but I remember

the time a relative got sick in Florida without insurance and it cost her

$5000 beyond what Canadian medicare paid for (plus she had to pay upfront

and claim it after). I took the chance, with travel medical insurance for

things other than IgAN. I mean, barring sudden kidney failure that requires

immediate hospitalisation, IgAN itself usually doesn't suddenly make you

sick unless you're prone to sudden flareups with heavy proteinuria. Even

then, you could probably just fly home earlier.

Have a good vacation, Dave.

Dave,

That's a very strange discussion indeed from your travel insurer. I

think I would not have even bothered to tell them. As Pierre says,

it's nothing so bad that you couldn't fly home first to be treated

for.

Currently, I apparently am covered under my employer's plan for

travel insurance, so I haven't bought travel insurance in the past

few years.

Have a good time!

Hi Sophia,

Yeah I realise the risks are small, but being in the UK we don't have insurance

through work, well not usually anyway so we like to be covered when we travel!

I'm sure I will have a great time thanks ;o)
