[QUOTE="IanS, post: 110886, member: 22487"] There was one insurance company that made the headlines a number of years ago when it was found that they had an exclusion clause for chronic conditions*. They were all the more in the headlines when it was further found that their definition of a chronic condition was anything that they decided was chronic. Decent private healthcare policies should cover ongoing conditions because that is what they have contracted to do. I am not actually having any part of my diabetes treated privately. Although I was refered to a diabetic opthalmologist, he found galucoma which is not diabetes related. My insurance company are going to have to pick up the bill for ongoing treatment (for the rest of my life) and have given no indication of imposing any limitations. I have yet to find out if my GP will repeat prescribe the medication (especially as it is ~£20 a month). IanS * OK, I'll name and shame: Cornhill (now trading as Aliantz) - though they aren't exactly one of the market leaders in this field. [/QUOTE]
