Re: What happens when travel insurance rejects your claim said by OverrRyde:My best advice is first speak with your GP to discuss any peers conditions, then contact the insurance and ask specifically about your condition. I spoke with my gastroenterologist/internist about travelling and he had no issues with it. I saw him yesterday and my ongoing regularly-scheduled tests showed continued improvement. I took that as a good sign.
Still, this is daunting. I sort of resigned myself to the fact that if I do get sick and insurance is denied for whatever reason they can come up with, I'll just go bankrupt and wash my hands of it. |

Yeah don't get me wrong it is daunting. But honestly, we don't "come up" with a reason to deny. If I had your case, I would ask you about you history for said condition and depending if this was something in the last 3 months, I may ask for your last 3 months if you were stable or not, that is what determines payability. |

So what about the questions specifically about women I asked before, only add in going on/off birth control pills? Those weren't answered.
What about a guy who gets/uses Viagra for the first time in the 90 days prior to a trip?
Are women systematically discriminated against because of issues like these? It just seems that they might be. |

Actually no, viagra or the birth control wouldn't fall under stable. there is no way a dr can say that you had an upset stomach or gastro because of an adverse reaction to viagra or pill. we've had cases with older men using the pill and getting a stiffer longer than usual and he was covered. All that happens is that we chuckle about at work and wonder why he was the only one on the policy, travelling alone! hehe |
