I鈥檓 having a 鈥榯hick鈥� day, not helped by an insurance company giving me confusing information.

I鈥檓 trying to get quotes for health insurance ready for residency application and subsequent move to Cyprus,

we are not yet old enough to get GESY and we have pre existing conditions. For example I have a pacemaker which needs regular checkups. We also both have medications for existing conditions.

Can we get pre existing conditions covered or do we have to just pay extra if we need anything related to an existing condition?

how do we get our regular prescriptions renewed?

sorry if this has been covered before, but as mentioned earlier insurance company is. It help8ng,

When we moved, we told our UK GP that we were planning to holiday overseas for the winter, and got a 6 month prescription supply.

That took a lot of pressure off us, as we didn't have to worry about medication for a few months.

Not the answer to your question, but maybe something for you to consider?

@Kevin Thompson

We used abbygate who sorted out insurance for residency.聽 I had pre conditions and meds. The premium was not bad at all and most meds can be bought from your local pharmacy without prescription.聽 (Not anti biotics though聽 i think) not badly priced or half the price from the dark side! There is a price list on line somewhere.

Good luck...
