Rare Diseases and Insurance

Hi Everyone,

We are absolutely blown away by the downloads and feedback that the podcast is getting. Thank you to everyone that has left us a review and personally reached out to us to give us your thoughts.

In this episode we are focusing on rare diseases (or conditions as Kathryn prefers, she doesn't like being thought of as diseased!) and what you need to know, if you have this condition and want insurance.

Our 3 key takeaways,

1. 1 in every 20 people in the UK has a rare disease

2. Insurers trust that GP reports are accurate, but there are times that they are wrong

3. A case study of sickle cell anaemia

Andrew has expertly stayed away from technical jargon, but please forgive Kathryn for going off on a smidgen of medical info, this is a subject she is very passionate about!

There is another teaser at the end in our 'Truth or Lie' feature and you need to decide again if it is Kathryn or Andrew that is a liar. But! Like last time you have to tune in to episode 3 to hear the answer.
