Does anyone know of a travel insurance company that offers cover for pre-existing medical conditions that haven't been diagnosed yet? :)

Sorry, no I don't. I'm not sure any company would, at least without charging silly money. If they don't know what risk they're covering against how could they work out what the premium should be?

Someone else commented that if it's not diagnosed then it doesn't exist!

Take a look at Which? recommended providers too. When applying for a quote you'll be asked about whether you are currently undergoing any investigations with GP/hospital. I guess if your answer is yes then the insurance company may well require more info. Whatever your situation when taking out insurance, you are asked to provide updates if there are any changes to your health in order for cover to be reviewed . . . not worth taking the risk of trying to keep something quiet and then finding that you're not covered in the event of a problem.

I have to say I am really honest when taking out holiday insurance and do pay a premium. However, when I have had a problem on Symi
I have been treated without question providing I had my EHC.
