Guest wullier Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Does any one know if these illnesses affect your visa applications? I have had UC for 8 years now and thankfully dont suffer flare ups to often. However I am on medication (Asacol) to control it. Could this affect any medical insurance that I would need?

Guest wullier Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks, Im on meds because the docs say I should be, managed for 5 years without them. Sorry done a newbie mistake, should have used the search function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If there is a pre existing medical condition you would not be covered for any care in the first 12 months of the policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 IBS? I know all about that unfortunately - but, on a brighter side, it gives me free rein to tell everyone about my bowel movements.
