Travel to US - medical cover for treatment

Hi all,

Just thought I’d share this info given it’s taken something of a marathon to find an insurer who’ll do it. I have an offer of a place at uni for Sept, and one of the Uni’s offer me a year in the USA. I’m on Tysabri so would need to continue my infusions whilst out there (at approx £500-600 a pop!). So I have been ringing round to try and find a travel / health insurer who’ll provide cover / a plan to allow me to continue my treatment whilst over there. I finally found one - Cigna Global have a health plan which cover the US. The chap was telling me that they’re pretty unique in the market at present (seem it too) providing cover under the new Affordable Care Act. So if you’re looking for something similar, it may be worth giving them a shout.

Take care,

That’s brilliant - I would have thought you hadn’t a hope (and I expect you did too!)
