According to the NHS, around 50% of the UK population are regularly prescribed medication for an ongoing health condition - so when it comes to medical travel insurance, you're not alone.
A 'pre-existing medical condition' is defined as any medical condition which has been diagnosed, investigated or treated prior to travel – even if it is considered mild, stable or under control. Some of these conditions will need to be declared if you have ever been affected by them, and some should only be declared if they have affected you in the past two years. It’s important that we have all information relating to any medical conditions affecting any traveller on the policy.
Here are a few examples of the pre-existing medical conditions that we may be able to offer insurance for:
• Allergies
• Anxiety
• Asthma
• Breast Cancer
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart Conditions
• HIV
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Prostate Cancer
• Stroke
Please note that while our travel guides are designed to be helpful, they do not constitute professional medical advice. We would always encourage speaking to your GP regarding any concerns about travelling with your medical condition.
