No, but not all travel insurance providers include cover for pre-existing medical conditions. That's why it's worth looking into medical travel insurance.
Please see our Policy Wording for complete details, including conditions and exclusions.
Medical ScreeningHere at MIA we understand that getting specialist medical insurance can be difficult and complex, but we have two simple solutions to get you a quote.
If your allergy is mild, well controlled and you don't suffer frequent related illness, we have a quick and easy online quote system. If your allergies are severe, you've recently been unwell, or you have additional pre-existing conditions we realise that a basic set of questions may not find you the cover you need. We have an experienced and friendly team waiting to talk through your options with you, so you can find a policy that suits you.
1. Talk to Your Doctor & Prepare Medications
Let your GP, or a member of your medical team, know about your trip and ask for a travel letter, particularly if you'll be carrying auto-injectors (like an EpiPen) or liquid medications over 100ml. Bring enough medication for your trip, and a few days extra, and keep them in original packaging in your carry-on.
Yes, we'll ask for your full medical history to make sure that your insurance offers cover for everything you may need.
Will MIA cover any other pre-existing medical conditions?As long as we know your medical history in full, we should be able to find a policy that covers all of your needs. If there are any exceptions that we can’t insure, we’ll let you know before you accept the travel insurance policy.
What happens if I must cancel my trip because of my allergies?If you become to unwell to travel due to your allergies, or any other medical condition that’s been agreed, we can arrange for you to be refunded any reasonable costs as long as your doctor agrees that you’re unfit to travel. Please bear in mind that if the other members of your travelling group aren’t insured on your policy, they may not be covered by their own provider.
If you have any other questions please let us know, we’d be happy to talk them through with you.
