It’s important that you’re covered properly before your trip with the right travel insurance when living with a benign cyst, just incase something goes wrong when you’re away.
Good quality travel insurance means you’re properly protected for your health and other concerns, such as delayed flights and lost property. You can tailor your policy to a level that suits your wallet and covers your needs, whether they be medical or activity related.
When travelling with a benign cyst, it’s always best to be safe than sorry. Things can go wrong on holiday more often than you might imagine, with 1 in 20 people claiming on their travel insurance in 2018*.
The costs of medical treatment can be very high abroad. A medical emergency can give rise to further costs, from having to book new flights home or needing medical repatriation by air ambulance. Then there are non-medical risks: delayed luggage, lost or stolen property, delayed flights and cancellations, even End Supplier Failure.
But if the unexpected strikes, a good travel insurance policy can spare you from unnecessary worry and unexpected fees. So, when you buy your insurance policy from us, you’ll be buying practical value and peace of mind.
We see having the right travel insurance is at the heart of any happy holiday. Isn’t it worth doing right?

It’s important you declare your benign cyst 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.
