Why do I need travel insurance for oedema?

When travelling with a pre-existing medical condition like oedema, it’s sensible that you’re covered with proper travel insurance. Just in case the worst happens at the time you’re meant to be relaxing and enjoying yourself.

With the right travel insurance in place, you can go away with peace of mind.

Problems that can occur when you’re away can vary from lost passports, stolen luggage, flight delays or a medical emergency needing to be flown home by air ambulance.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

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

It’s important you declare oedema 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.

We can offer travel insurance for the following types of oedema:

  • Angioneurotic oedema

Of course, everyone’s medical circumstances differ. But the types of questions you can expect to be asked when declaring your oedema include:

  • Have you needed hospital treatment for this in the last 2 years?
  • What is (or was) the cause of this condition?
  • Was this condition associated with cancer?
  • When did your symptoms start? (e.g. breathlessness or ankle swelling)

You should always check with your doctor that you can fly with fluid in your lungs, as it will vary depending on your medical history. In fact, we’ll need to know this before we can offer you cover for your oedema.
