Hi Guys,

Can someone make a recommendation for a travel insurance company to someone who has a pre-existing injury (quadraplegia). And what the cost is roughly ???

thanks again.

Hi guys,

I am having heaps of trouble finding travel insurance. I don't have a spinal cord injury, but I have degenerative disc disease which has required 2 operations. I've found some English companies that specialise in travel insurance for spinal & neurological injuries (http://www.myholidayinsurance.com/Strok ... Spinal.htm), but I'm not sure if they can insure Australian citizens?

If anyone knows of any Australian companies that will insure spinal pre-exisiting medical conditions, please let me know!

Ta,

Em

Generally if you are funded (e.g. TAC/Workcover) you go with your regular insurance then get funding body to chase extra pay through:
- your private insurance, add travel
- air carrier you're travelling with extra insurance special needs
- or other private insurers

If you are not funded try:
