Finding suitable Travel and Life Insurance

Travel Insurance

For individuals and families affected by Diamond Blackfan Anaemia Syndrome, finding suitable Travel Insurance can often be a challenge.

Whilst we are unable to recommend specific companies, we understand this difficulty and are therefore compiling a list of insurers that families with DBAS recommend:

Don't Forget!

  • Get your travel insurance as soon as you book.
  • Finding travel insurance with a pre-existing condition can take time.
  • You should declare all medical conditions.
  • You should carefully read the policy documents to ensure DBAS and related potential complications/treatments are adequately covered.
  • Comparing quotes from specialist medical travel insurers is often necessary.

Medical Screening

As part of your travel insurance quote, you will require a medical screening, during which you will be asked about blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants.

Taking more than one holiday this year?

If you’ve secured travel insurance that covers DBAS, consider looking into an Annual Multi-Trip policy. This can cover you for multiple trips (usually up to 31 days each) over the year, potentially offering a more convenient and cost-effective option than separate policies.

Life Insurance

We can’t recommend companies, but patients with DBAS have used those listed below.
