Fibromyalgia Travel Insurance

Do I need to declare fibromyalgia on my travel insurance?

When living with fibromyalgia, it’s important to declare it, and any other pre-existing medical conditions you may have on your travel insurance policy. After all, we see it that being covered by a tailored travel insurance policy is the key to a happy holiday.

That way, if the worst happens when you’re travelling with fibromyalgia, you’ve got our support.

Things going wrong when you’re away happen more often than you might have realised. 1 in 20 people claimed on their travel insurance in 2017.* So, it’s not as uncommon as you might have thought.

It could be a medical emergency, where you need to be flown home by air ambulance (repatriation), or even something as simple as lost luggage or flight delays. Whatever the issue, having the right cover in place can help reduce unnecessary worries and the impact on your savings too.

That way, you can go away knowing you’re covered by the nation’s Most Trusted Travel Insurance Provider.**

Isn’t it worth doing right?

How do I declare fibromyalgia on my travel insurance?

For us to be able to offer you a tailored quote, we’ll first need you to complete our medical screening process. The medical screening is a straight-forward set of multiple choice questions, designed for us to understand how your fibromyalgia affects you personally.

Please know that the medical screening is strictly confidential. It’s important the answers you provide about your fibromyalgia, and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, are as accurate and thorough as possible. Failure to disclose any necessary information about your medical history will affect the validity of your policy, should you need to claim later down the line.

What does our travel insurance cover?

What questions will I be asked about my fibromyalgia?

Of course, the questions we ask you during the medical screening will vary depending on your circumstances, but the kind of thing you can expect us to ask about fibromyalgia include:

• In the last 2 years, has this condition interfered with your activities of daily living?
• How many unplanned hospital admissions have you had for this condition in the last 12 months?
• Do you experience any back and/or neck pain with this condition?

I am awaiting further investigation/treatment for my fibromyalgia. Can I still get cover?

If you’re awaiting further treatment or investigations, we can still offer you cover, but wouldn’t be able to cover anything related to any pre-existing medical conditions you’ve disclosed, including fibromyalgia.

We would still be able to cover you for other accidents, and medical emergencies not related to your fibromyalgia or any other pre-existing conditions (as well as things like lost baggage and delays.)
