Some insurance companies state it has to be purchased within 72 hours of your airline booking. I found one that did not have a restriction but only covered from the date of purchase...in other words...if you had to make a claim on the policy..they would not pay it if they found out the health issue existed prior to the date of purchase.

I purchased Insurance from travel guard, 24 hours prior to a vacation to Ireland. We were leaving for Shannon in January, and I became very sick the day of departure. I went to the Dr. he advised me not to fly, and a quick fax to travel guard and the doctor's office form, voila I had my reimbursement fast.
