Essential insights into travel insurance coverage for pre-existing health concerns
Navigating the uncertainties of travel can be challenging, but with the right travel insurance, you can embark on your adventure with peace of mind. Our website offers comprehensive travel insurance plans designed to protect you from financial risks during your journey, ensuring that your trip is memorable for all the right reasons.
Pre-existing Condition Coverage
One of the key features of our travel insurance plans is coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. A pre-existing condition refers to any illness, disease, or other medical condition that required treatment, prescriptions, or medical examinations within 180 days prior to purchasing travel insurance. With our plans, you can rest assured that your pre-existing conditions are covered, providing you with financial protection during your travels.
Pre-existing Conditions Waiver
To qualify for the pre-existing conditions waiver, certain criteria must be met. First, you must purchase the policy within 14 days of the initial trip deposit, and you must be medically able to travel when purchasing the policy. The pre-existing conditions waiver is automatically included in our travel insurance policy at no extra cost, offering you an added layer of security.
24/7 Support
Unexpected challenges can arise during travel, but with our website, you're never alone. We offer 24/7 support to help with finding a doctor, locating a pharmacy, and handling any unexpected challenges that may arise during your trip.
Medical Evacuation Costs
In the event of a medical emergency, the costs associated with medical evacuation can be significant. A medical evacuation from Europe, for example, could cost between $65,000 and $90,000. With our travel insurance, you can rest assured that these costs are covered, giving you one less thing to worry about during your trip.
Filing a Claim
If a medical emergency related to your pre-existing condition occurs during your trip, you can file a claim with our insurer. The process for filing a claim for a pre-existing medical condition generally involves the following steps:
- Declaration and Eligibility Check: When purchasing the travel insurance policy, you must declare all pre-existing medical conditions fully and honestly. Failure to disclose can void the policy or cause claim denial later.
- Filing the Claim: If a medical emergency related to your pre-existing condition occurs during your trip, you file a claim with your insurer. This involves filling out the claim form available on our website app, which should include your personal details, policy number, and details about the medical incident.
- Provide Documentation: Along with the claim form, you must send supporting documentation such as medical reports, hospital bills, proof of travel, and possibly records showing that the pre-existing condition was declared at the time of purchasing insurance. The insurer may specifically require documentation to verify treatment before travel and during the trip related to the pre-existing condition.
- Look-Back Period Consideration: Insurers typically review your medical records covering a specified “look-back period” (commonly 60 days before policy purchase) to confirm if symptoms or treatments occurred that are related to the claim. If the condition was stable during that period and declared, the claim is more likely to be accepted.
- Claim Assessment and Decision: The insurer will assess whether the condition is covered under your policy terms (including any waivers). Some pre-existing conditions may be excluded, or emergency treatments might be covered separately. If the claim meets the policy requirements, payment will be processed accordingly.
Pregnancy Complications Coverage
Our travel insurance plans may also cover pregnancy complications while traveling, offering you additional peace of mind during your journey.
