Why you Need Travel Insurance to Cover any Pre-existing Medical Conditions
- One of the main reasons people purchase travel insurance is to cover themselves for emergency medical expenses. Provided you have declared your medical condition(s) during the medical screening process, you will be protected if you have a medical emergency because of the pre-existing medical condition. Without the correct cover, you may have to pay thousands of pounds for medical costs.
- You may find a ‘cheap’ policy online, but have you checked if it covers your pre-existing medical condition? However, it is unlikely they will include the level of cover required for your medical condition or disability.
- Many of these insurance providers exclude cover for medical conditions, or simply refuse to offer travel insurance. This can lead to people travelling abroad without appropriate cover. It’s really not worth the gamble. Not only is your health at risk, but you run the risk of enormous bills if you need medical treatment while overseas, or if you need to be repatriated back home.
