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

It’s important you declare COPD 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

"Always good value and easy to use and will cover medical conditions if needed"
"Very happy with a straighforward process. Good range of options available and very easy to enter the pre-existing medical conditions. Great cover provided at a good price"
"I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an illness that was thankfully cured by surgery. I travel a lot and was unsure how this would affect travel insurance. I phoned Staysure and was given clear and helpful information, asked quite detailed health questions and was finally given a very competitive quote for an annual policy with the option to pay monthly. Very efficient service, great company to deal with."

People also asked

Here’s a few questions you can expect to be asked about COPD:

  • How many medicines are prescribed for your breathing condition?
  • How many hospital admissions have you had in the past year?
  • How short of breath do you get when walking on the flat?
  • Have you ever been prescribed oxygen other than when you were at hospital?
  • Have you ever been a smoker?
  • In the last year, have you had a chest infection or an episode of pneumonia?
  • How many episodes have you had in the past year that have required antibiotics?
  • Has the infection fully resolved?
  • Do you have any other respiratory conditions other than COPD?

Having a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is really helpful if you’re going on holiday to Europe (excluding Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland), but it’s no substitute for having good travel insurance.

An EHIC or GHIC entitles you to free, or subsidised healthcare in state-funded hospitals and medical facilities. However, your EHIC or GHIC won’t cover the costs of things such as emergency transport home should you need it.

If you’re travelling to Europe, then it’s a condition of our insurance that you take a EHIC or GHIC with you.
