Retired broker devises holiday cover for elderly Mike Cole
ASTAPLEHURSTmanwill go on holiday withasmile after success- fully challenging the travel insurance industry. Mike Cole (71), who had a life-saving quadruple heart bypass at Maidstone Hospital, found that even though his operation was nearly 10 years ago, the cost of getting medical cover almost dou- bled the price of his holiday. Fed up with paying through the nose every timehewantedtotravel,Mike–aformerLloydsofLondonin- surance broker –devised his own cover and has now had his travel policy underwritten. Hesaid: “For years travellershavebeensubjectedtoextortionate price hikes for emergency medical expenses insurance if they are
over 50 and have extreme pre-existing medical conditions such as MS, cancer, heart conditions or even high blood pressure.” Hehas teamed up with two colleagues to form the ThreeEmms
Consultancy to sell his clearandsimple policy, offering people with pre-existing conditions emergency medical expenses cover. He hopesbyoffering thenewpolicy, elderly travellers with existing con- ditions won’t be tempted to travel without insurance and believes it will encourage other insurers to service this growing sector more competitively. Mikesaid:“Wehavenomedical screening questions, sincewewill cover all conditions, except those given six months or less to live.”
