Booked a holiday, so need ANOTHER holiday!
« on: August 22, 2011, 08:10:36 PM »

Because of family concerns we have only now got around to booking a holiday. I cannot fault the local agent, who spent considerable time suitable hotel and dealing with flight time problems. So many required a gut wrenching very early departure and late night arrival home, or airport hotel stays! Found one after an hour and went home happy. So far so good!

Because of ages and my previous health problems, I phone insurance co we have dealt with several times, without hassle.

I gave details to the clerk, who did not ask about health. but gave me a holding reference. On strength of that, I confirmed booking and paid in full (late date and not refundable).

On going back to insurer I was asked if the earlier clerk had done medical questionnaire. :shoot: :shoot:

Upshot was pre exis med cons would not be covered!

I demanded to speak to a manager and voiced my dissatisfaction how my case had turned out, that I had been misled, and I was very willing to escalate as far as I could, if I incurred financial loss.

Result: recordings were listened to, and  trouble was a keying error for date of my bypass in 2003. Fully covered with no loading.

Buddha, Allah and.... give me strength! ::)

TBH with colon cancer and CABGx4 under my belt I have had no trouble getting insurance. The company in question, I've used about four times, and they have given me the least hassle of all before yesterday. Yesterday's hassle was, as I said, poor keying.

As to specialist insurers, they can be tough and sometimes their quotes can be higher than even a travel agent's with a loading.

The inanity of some insurers! ::) What about this asked in connection with my Ca op  performed in 2000
" Since your operation have you attended hospital in connection with it?"
" I had my routine check up a few months ago. All was clear."
"Sorry. we can't cover you."
For Pete's sake, there's less risk as I'm known to be clear, but insurer's thinking OMG!

Then once I was asked , what was a hemi-colectomy. Give them a dictionary, I say!

It's Italy Unc   .....  it'll be fine,   it's the Euro     :lol: 


 ......    Renloup, you may probably know this, but just a hint   ....  unless you need to, don't take a lot of Euros with you, you'll get a better rate by using your credit card at ATM's.

I trust you mean "debit card": credit cards suffer interest.
