Gallstones Travel Insurance

While everyone’s individual medical history is different, the types of questions you can expect about gallstones include:

• Have you had a cholecystectomy? (See our gallbladder removal travel insurance)
• Are you awaiting any procedures to treat your gallbladder or bile ducts?
• Are you awaiting any further investigations or treatment for biliary stones?
• How long ago was your last procedure to the gallbladder?

If your doctor has advised you not to travel there’s probably a good reason for it. We won’t be able to cover you until your doctor gives you the all clear that you’re fit to travel.

Yes. This isn't uncommon with gallstones. When you phone us or complete the online medical screening process, you must declare this and any other conditions on your medical travel insurance.

If you’ve bought an insurance policy with us, and you've declared all pre-existing medical conditions, then you can breathe easy knowing you're covered for any medical emergency abroad.

If you need to call us from anywhere in the world, our emergency line is open 24 hours (you can even reverse the charges). If you need medical treatment arranged with local doctors, we'll help you do that. We'll even provide translation services where necessary.

If there's a change to your medical condition before you start your holiday, you must tell us as soon as possible. Otherwise you may not be properly covered if you have to claim. Please call us and we'll do our best to see if we can increase the coverage where necessary.

If your changed medical condition means you can't travel, then so long as you have disclosed any pre-existing medical conditions to us before buying your travel policy, you will be covered for cancellation.
