medical insurance!

hey guys, has anyone who has applied to gateway usa for medical insurance received any confirmation of their coverage? Cos I applied last week and haven't heard anything in reply! ;D Jenx

 

Hey this isnt about gateway but is related. i havent applied, but I have just got the adventure backpacker insurance from insureandgo and they said that included travel and medical insurance. But i am not too sure...have you got your travel insurance sorted yet?

 

Hi i applied for my Medical insurance a while ago with gateway and i didnt hear anything till disney contacted me to let me know that i gave the wrong credit card details oooppps. so dont worry they send all the info to disney so im sure its sorted, Disney will contact you if its not. if you really worried you can contact gateway there is a phone number on teh web site. When you heading to florida 6 weeks for me.....

 

Hey lorraine! I'm heading out on may 31st, can't wait! ;D I wasn't too worried about not hearing anything, was just making sure that was normal! cos knowing me i wud have done something wrong and wud arrive in florida wiv no insurance and that wudn't be gud! jen xxx

on the instructions i have from yummy it says they send the confirmation to disney and we have to look on our cc statements to see if the moneys come off! and thats how we know. they send the confirmation that youre insured to disney and we get it when we arrive? im not sure if thats how its workin but thats what the 'step by step guide' says!

oh right so if i'd just read the leaflets i wud have known that u don't hear anything! but hey, why read leaflets when i can just ask all u lovely people? ;D jen xxx

I also gave the wrong card details but I even double checked! I aint heard anything either! I had to ring up Gateways to change card number! they said "wed put you on hold" but I was like er no calling from UK here get it sorted

 

i like that! I wouldn't be put on hold if i'm ringing the US! How much does it cost and will UK medical companis me in US?

Hey Jen,

I'm in exactly the same situation, i applied over 2 weeks ago and have not heard a thing- i was planning on checking the statement when it comes through in the next week and if its not on there then ringing them, but i'm glad that its normal coz i was starting to panic!

Did everyone look into other options for medical insurance? I've heard that Gateway is more expensive than some other companies. I have only done a little research, but the company that I'm going with is about $100 cdn less than Gateway.

gateways costs around £120 for 4 months (if ive calculated right) it is expensive in a way but easy as they send details and confirmation to Disney! I choose them for less hassle because am lazy and couldnt be bothed shopping around but I probarbly could of got it cheaper! ringing to the US now I bet that cost me loads but hey thats what dads are for right!!!!

 

Turns out that Gateway may just be worth it because it saves some hassle. Called an insurance company today and was told that I had to get travel insurance and they said I had to get it for the entire year. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'm going to check into a few more places before I take the Gateway insurance.

How's everyone else doing with their insurance?

Sandra

 

Am not gonna get my insurance till i've had my visa approved, dnt wanna tempt fate! lol

My mum looked into mine for me, as she was paying it (Makes sense i'm sure.......i'm not that lazy honest! hehe!)

But she said gateway was really expensive!

We got our with STA Travel (You know the student one) and it completely covers you....so look into that too. xx

 

I've got a while b4 I'm going to sort out my insurance as I don't go till Dec,
so I hope you guys can tell me who will be the best (also best value)
company to go with(Please), I did have a look at gateway to got some idea and I also thought they were really expensive :
If we find another company to cover us do we then have to send a copy of the policy to Disney??

i got mine at gateway! its less hastle!

 

it's no hassle getting it with anyone else! i've bought mine, told Yummy about it and they haven't asked for any information from me, just as long as I know i'm covered!

I would definitily say shop around! x
