Medical Travel Insurance

 

P J Hayman has several policies that cover medical conditions, but Free Spirit is the primary policy for pre-existing conditions.

  • Cover if your pre-existing medical condition causes you to cancel or cut short your trip.
  • Free Spirit has no upper age limit and has lots of activities covered as standard.
  • Terminal conditions are also considered with Free Spirit.
  • If you are awaiting surgery we can still look to insure you subject to underwriter approval.
  • Free Spirit covers for up to 115 days per trip.

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.

What’s Covered With Free Spirit

The following tables reflect a summary of cover available on the policy. You can find full cover detail, including definitions, terms and conditions, on your policy wording. We recommend reading this document prior to taking out cover and referring to it when the need arises during the duration of your cover.

Free Spirit is arranged in three cover levels: Standard, Super, and Super Duper. In each, cover is structured in sections A to O. Section N is an additional level of Winter Sports cover, available as an option and subject to an additional premium.
