Why do I need travel insurance for epilepsy?

When you have a condition such as epilepsy and want to travel, having travel insurance can give you peace of mind.

Good travel insurance also helps protect you against unwelcome surprises such as flight cancellations, lost luggage delays and loss of personal items such as passports, money or valuables when you’re on your trip.

Surprisingly, having to claim on your insurance is more common than you might think. In 2018, 1 in 20 people claimed on their Annual Travel Insurance*, so things go wrong on holiday more often than you may have realised.

A tailored travel insurance policy provides you with confidence that you’re covered as well as having a practical value if something actually does go wrong at the time you’re meant to be enjoying yourself.

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

It’s important you declare epilepsy 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.

People also asked

Questions we'll ask you may include:

  • How long ago was your first seizure?
  • How many (if any) seizures causing loss of consciousness have you had in the last six months/four weeks?
  • How many (if any) unplanned hospital admissions have you had in the last year that related to your condition?
  • How many (if any) different medicines do you take?

If your epilepsy is symptomatic, is it caused by a tumour, head injury or brain haemorrhage?

If your doctor has declared you fit enough to travel (or would do if you asked them), then we can consider you for medical travel insurance.

Since epilepsy can affect people in many different ways, we consider each person on a case-by-case basis.

If your doctor has told you that it’s unsafe for you to travel, then any travel insurance policy you buy through us would be invalid.

That’s because it’s important to us to make sure that you’re safe and aren’t putting yourself in danger.

We can only consider you for travel insurance if your doctor has declared you fit enough to travel. If in doubt, speak to your doctor about any potential travel destinations and where you can travel.
