Travel Insurance and Medical Conditions
Choosing the right travel insurance is difficult enough. Choosing the right travel insurance when you have an existing medical condition is even more difficult.
To help make life a little easier the team at insure4travel has developed a fully integrated, seamless and simple online solution.
Once you have obtained a quote using our fast quote form, the system will ask a few simple questions to help determine whether we need more details about your health. If we do, then you just type in your condition and you will be asked some easy to understand questions about your condition – you can declare an unlimited number of conditions.
Each of your responses is entered into a complex algorithm which looks at a combination of factors including your destination, (the cost of medical treatment in some countries is much higher than others), and the potential cost of a claim (based on years of amalgamated travel insurance claims data).
In less than a second, you will have an on-screen confirmation advising whether we can cover your conditions – in most cases there is no extra cost. If there is a cost the website will show the cost clearly.
If you decide to take out a policy, your certificate will state your conditions and will confirm that there is cover for claims related to them.
On rare occasions, the system will determine that we cannot provide any cover.
