BP should have nothing whatever to do with the cost of travel insurance!

All the travel insurance policies I’ve ever seen, have excluded coverage for pre-existing conditions.
So whereever you go, read the policy terms BEFORE you buy.
If you’re not looking for blood pressure/heart attack related stuff, the travel agent you buy your ticket from, should be able to hook you up with coverage.

Don’t book your vacations through an insurance agent and DON’T buy insurance from a travel agent. Travel agents, although they need a license to sell it, don’t understand insurance (as a general rule). They just know they get paid more when they sell the travel insurance. Buy travel insurance from an insurance agent who understands your other coverages.
Yes, if you’re a US citizen YOU CAN buy a travel insurance policy to cover “unexpected recurrences” from a pre-existing condition IF you buy the coverage within (usually) 15 days of booking/making a deposit on a trip. If you didn’t do this you can get a travel medical insurance policy that will cover limited amounts of pre-existing conditions.
I buy “Travel Lite” to cover trip costs and medical which is not covered by “regular” health insurance outside the US whenever I take an international trip and you can look at it on my site if you’d like.
