[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1011223, member: 88961"] I spend months on end overseas, and do have insurance. Unless, like me you spend such protracted periods overseas, my approach (which is partly worldwide private medical insurance, attaching to my UK policy, and the balance as travel insurance) would probably be very costly, but depending on the style of travel, almost anything is possible, depending on the depth of the pockets. I should declare immediately that having never taken any medication for diabetes or anything else (save the odd course of antibiotics or painkillers, when required), I have always presented a modest risk to insurers. For those undertaking longer trips, it is possible to find single trip policies for trips up to 24 months, or for multiple trips within a calendar year, but not restricted to the usual 30 or 90 days at a time. These are often called backpackers insurance, and do have age limitations, which can vary enormously. For the longer trips, over 60 they become trickier to find, and over 70, I don't know of any insurers offering longer trips than about 45 days. A Google search reveals of of these things, if you put in your own requirements. As you are overseas SXP, how do you manage your health cover? [/QUOTE]
