Do I need travel insurance for a back problem?

Looking for travel insurance with back pain problems and sciatica can be a hassle, but it really needn’t be.

With a tailored policy, you can choose the level of protection you want to suit your medical and travel needs.

Things going wrong on holiday is more common than you might have thought. In fact, 1 in 20 people had to claim on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018.*

Proper travel insurance to cover your pre-existing medical conditions can help ease the worry when you need it most. Whether it’s medical-related, losing your luggage or a stolen passport.

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?

It’s important you declare your back problem and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.

You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

"Excellent service on phone when buying travel insurance. We have used Staysure before and had to make a claim from Singapore in an emergency situation. It was handled well, and all financial payments were dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend!"

"Have used Staysure for a number of years. 2 yrs ago had to cancel our holiday because my husband needed an urgent operation. Staysure sorted our claim with no fuss or hassle and quickly."

"Very easy to find and go through quote and questions online. Price was better that the competition. Felt like I was human, particularly when answering questions on pre-existing medical conditions. Some other insurers make you feel that you are a third rate citizen because you have medical conditions."
