Suzyq Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 My 77 year old mum is coming for at least a month again in the summer; what's the best way to get her covered for her flight insurance and health while she's here.Suze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 You may have problems getting her covered if she is over 70. I would contact either Saga or Age Concern, they must know of good insurance companies - especially Saga who may even do it themselves.Once I turned 50 I was straight in to the Saga car insurance, much cheaper than the other quotes we got.Dihttp://www.iceni-it.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hello, There are a couiple of things your Mum shoulf bear in mind. At her age she will find it difficult to find affordable cover if her trip is over 31 days so bear this in mind. A trip will be defined as day depart UK to day return Uk inclusive. She should also obtain E111 because any insurance that she does take out may not apply any excess per claim if E111 has been used to fund a proportion of any treatment. I know the Post Office (where she can obtain E111) also issues a travel insurance for elderly folk so she may be able sort her healthcare out in one place.RegardsPeter Owenpjowen@expathealthdirect.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moulin Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 My mother in law is 78 and I have taken out insurance for her for a year at a time. She tends to come out three or four times a year. I did it through Barclays bank website and paid 150 for multitrip insurance with a maximum of 45 days each time. All medical conditions are covered if the medication has not been changed in the last six months. Good luck.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
