What is travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions?
If you or any of your travel party have a pre-existing medical condition and fall ill whilst on holiday, then a pre-existing medical travel insurance policy could help you with cover for emergency treatment and hospital costs relating to that pre-existing condition. Some common pre-existing medical conditions include:
- Respiratory conditions (relating to the lungs or breathing)
- Any heart, kidney, liver, circulatory or cerebral conditions
- Stroke or central nervous system disorder
- Cancerous conditions
- Terminal conditions
- Psychological conditions (diagnosed or treated)
- Prescribed medication, received treatment or had a consultation (within a given period of time)
Take a look at our article on travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions for more information.
What does a pre-existing medical policy cover?
- Medical expenses could be covered if you get ill or injured abroad
- Repatriation could also be covered if you are unable to travel on your pre-arranged transport, so you could be closer to your friends and family back in the UK
- With cancellation cover you could claim back your hotel and transportation costs if you are forced to cancel your trip
- Your luggage, personal possessions and money could also be covered if they are lost, stolen or damaged
- Most travel insurance policies offer a 24 hour helpline providing advice and support in an emergency
