I believe that all of these plans had a $50,000 max for pre-existing
conditions. Good luck!

Think any of these guys will write a policy for someone with
pre-existing conditions like Diabetes? I'm in Texas, and getting
private insurance was impossible... had to go into the assigned risk
pool with Blue Cross / Blue Shield. Don't know yet if they cover me
out of the country.

OTOH, the cost of health care most anywhere outside the U.S. is so
much cheaper.

Thanks, but that's where I got the information about insurance
companies offering such policies. I contacted Dan Cassin
(888-724-5427) and he provided lots of printed information about the
various policies. However, what I'm looking for is actual feedback on
people's experience with these companies.

Geoffrey, if you can get your hands on last month's Oct issue of
Blue Water Sailing magazine, there was an article regarding medical
insurance for cruisers. I would offer to send my copy but I rip out
sections and toss the rest (I keep mag's front cover for easy
reference as an index). Might be worth checking their website in
case it's there somewhere.
Regards
Gerald

My current health insurance is only supposed to cover me for a
maxiumum 30 day trip outside of the US. I've been skirting that
and luckily haven't had to file any claims. This next year I
expect to be gone for 11 months as I'm headed to the South
Pacific, and I need to do this right. I've been looking at
various true international policies and was wondering if anyone
has any feedback on either of these policies.

The two plans that I like the best are the "International Citizen
Platinum" which is underwritten by Lloyds of London and "Global
Medical Insurance" underwritten by International Medical Group
(IMG).
Both plans are very similiar on paper, but I have no idea how
they
are to work with. If anyone has any feedback, I'd be very
interested in hearing it.

As an aside, I've also looked at "Reside Prime", "Worldwide
Navigator" and "Lifeboat" which are underwritten by Speciality
Risk International (SRI) and decided against them due to the
requirements of using their provider network when in the US.
