I'm type 2 diabetic and having to move to China for 2 years. Does anyone know of a good health insurance company that caters for pre existing conditions.


Thanks

DCUK has some advice about insurance here, although I am not sure it covers your situation: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/finance.html.

When I was living in the Middle East for a few years, I bought my own BUPA insurance that covered the cost of local treatment. That was a couple of decades back, but you might want to check them out in case they still do this and will cater for pre-existing conditions.

(For some of that time in the Middle East, I did not need to purchase my own insurance because it was provided by my American employer. I assume you do not have such provision from your employer.)

Hi thanks for this ....I have tried the company mentioned in the link and they advise that they don't insure pre existing conditions so its back to the drawing board.

You might like to try AXA PPP Healthcare. They've insured me with pre-existing conditions for the UK. I just don't know how that would pan out for being overseas. There's a quotations number 0800 533 5921, could be worth a try.
