i don't think a stoma counts as a problem with insurance...to the best of my knowledge it is not classed as a disability. i am going abroad shortly and i got puffin insurance because i have a number of health problems . suggest you go on a compare website and see what they come up with and check if you need special insurance for the stoma.  don't pay for expensive if it's not needed. good luck. patrick

 

Hi Neil

I work in a GP surgery and some of my patients have told me they use a insurance group called insure with. Apparently they don't charge over the odds for illnesses/ chronic disease or cancer. Let me know how you get on if you get a quote from them so I can feed back to my newer patients please XX

 

Hello Neil.

As others have said, I don't think a stoma should make any difference to travel insurance. 

I have mine through my bank and they assured me that it wasn't on any excess list. Of course, it's always best to check with whoever you go with, but be careful if they are wanting to charge you extra. 

Best wishes

and have a good trip.

With my Irish travel insurance their biggest concern was when I was last hospitalized  . Two years without hospital was their requirement . Tell them Everything Honestly , medicines , other health problems etc . If not a hospital emerency you have to call the  Insurance Co ( keep their number on speed dial !! )  and get their ok or call them as soon as possible if you need a hospital . 

   I never had to use it so I got lucky .  Best of luck  Neil  , Magoo  ☘
