Travel insurance

I was diagnosed with Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia ('CLL') 2 years ago and my travel insurance through Nationwide covered me for everything except Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia ('CLL'). This year I have been told it will not cover anything connected to Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia ('CLL'), hypertension and high cholesterol. A single trip quote with other companies comes in at around £800.

Has anyone else had problems with insurance?

Hello @Sue49

Thank you for taking time to send your question into the forum.

I’m sorry to learn about your diagnosis.

This is a great question and one that often gets asked.

I’m also a Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia ('CLL') patient (diagnosed in early 2025) and I am going to be trying to sort out some travel insurance in the next few weeks for a couple of trips i have next year

I’m a little bit worried it might be expensive (what isn’t in todays world!) but I’m confident a robust comparison of various companies and web sites will uncover the right policy at an acceptable price. Fingers crossed.

I’ve seen a couple of forum threads regarding this very topic:

You may find the two links I’ve set above helpful.

Also - I was given the websites:

PayingTooMuch | Get cheaper travel insurance the easy way

Insurancewith Travel Insurance - quote

So please do feel free to try these two. I haven’t tried them yet so please feel free to let us know how you get with either or both of them.

Take good care

Kind regards

Mike

@Sue49 In my experience travel insurance quotes that include MPNs vary widely in cost. The cheapest I have found, which fits my needs, was from Travel Insurance 4 Medical. I haven’t had to make a claim so I don’t know what sort of service one receives.

Hope this is some help.
