Trip Insurance - International Trip w/ recent Kidney Donor

I have been trying to obtain Trip Insurance for a trip I am leading to Guatemala.
One of the people on the trip, donated a kidney approximately 6 weeks ago.
Obviously I'd like to have good trip insurance. My guess is the main concern would be medical extraction back to the US etc...

I've been searching on squaremouth.com and weeded out a bunch that didn't cover Pre-Existing conditions. I've been emailing different companies and they all say they would not cover a Kidney donor. (They say it's an 'Exclusion'.. even though I can't find it in their policies.)

Any recommendations?



PS - I'm not worried about trip cancelation etc... I have purchased the flights etc using the United Card.
