MPI Brokers Managing Director, Michael Pettifer, says: “Our sales team reports growing numbers of people buying policies from us after being turned away by other providers when medical conditions are mentioned.

“Some elements of Ski Travel Insurance are unrelated to the health of a skier, so we feel it is unreasonable to base acceptance purely on medical criteria.

“Our regular policies allow people to travel with certain medical conditions excluded – or they may apply to have them included.”
