1st Time Medical Insurance
Wed, 09/19/2012 - 13:48Topic: Community Issues and Chat
I am sure this is a common problem but I am trying to find insurance option ... For me this is kind of a new issue as in the UK where I live most of the meds are free and the health care is paid for. So how do I go about finding the right medical insurance that gives me full cover. My Mexican fiancée has suggested a couple of options that her and her brothers use both for use in Mexico and world wide, but I wanted to find a couple of UK or other international options that fully cover me that are not crazily expensive for comparison ..... Can anyone help and suggest as have no idea what im doing and have just my travel insurance to start me of?
Many thanks and good health to you all!
John

It sounds like you live in the UK now but are looking for medical insurance that could cover you anywhere? I'm not familiar with UK but suggest you contact the British Epilepsy Association. The International Bureau of Epilepsy may be able to tell you about other countries. Epi_help Resource Specialist
