InsureCancer - The Specialist Cancer Insurer

InsureCancer is the trading style of Medi TravelCover Ltd. adopted in early 2007 so as to better reflect the specialist services offered by Medi TravelCover Ltd, whose sole purpose is providing travel insurance to those affected by cancer. As the UK's only specialist cancer insurance provider our policies provide protection that includes full cover for the diagnosis of cancer. Our policies are therefore specially designed for those living with cancer and we routinely provide cover for those with active, metastatic, relapsed or terminal cancer to destinations worldwide including North America. Each case is individually underwritten and with specialist knowledge of the treatment and management of cancer, we are ready to consider individuals undergoing treatment such as chemo or radiotherapy. A key requirement is that holiday makers should be clinically stable and be travelling with the consent of their attending specialist Consultant. To get a feel for the range and types of medical conditions we are able to consider, please refer to the 'Recent Cases' section on this website. We work closely with UK charities, cancer networks, specialist medical centres and support groups. With a special focus on children, we have a close working relationship with many trusts particularly the Christian Lewis Trust, which seeks to offer support to families and individuals affected by a child with cancer. We actively support a number of cancer charities and ask all our customers to help them by choosing to make a donation. In 2007 H.M. The Queen bestowed the country’s highest corporate honour ‘The Queen’s Award for Enterprise’ on InsureCancer and Medi TravelCover Ltd. in recognition of: Pioneering insurance underwriting innovation for those affected by cancer.” (Click on the Queen's Award logo to read more.)
