Do I need to declare my heart condition for holiday insurance?

It’s important to declare if you’ve ever had a heart condition on your travel insurance so you’re properly covered when you’re away. We can offer travel insurance for various heart conditions, including heart diseases and heart failure.

If you have a medical condition – even if you don’t think it’s that important – and you don’t include it in your policy, then it may mean any claims won’t be accepted.

With the right travel insurance, you can be confident that you’re covered by the nation’s Most Trusted Travel Insurance Provider.*

With travel insurance that covers your heart condition, you also get peace of mind. Isn’t it worth doing right?

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

It’s important you declare your heart condition 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.

"Having used Staysure Insurance before they were my first choice when booking another trip. Very happy with the cover provided and how easy the website is to navigate. Would highly recommend."
"Have used Staysure Travel Insurance for a few years. Have always found the staff friendly, helpful and courteous whether discussing a renewal or dealing with a claim. Would definitely recommend."
"Very easy to find and go through quote and questions online. Price was better that the competition. Felt like I was human, particularly when answering questions on pre-existing medical conditions. Some other insurers make you feel that you are a third rate citizen because you have medical conditions."

While you won’t need to declare your pacemaker on your travel insurance, you will need to let us know the condition your pacemaker was fitted for.

Even if your pacemaker was fitted over two years ago, you’ll need to let us know about it during the medical screening process.

If something changes before you go on your trip, you’ll need to let us know.
