Travel insurance with pre-existing conditions
Our policies do not automatically cover all pre-existing medical conditions, however we cover a wide range of pre-existing conditions. Visit our Pre-Existing Medical Conditions informational page for a full list of the 38 covered pre-existing medical conditions.
We currently offer a limited amount of coverage for pregnancy. Single, non-complicated pregnancies are automatically covered. However, coverage is only provided for unexpected complications before the 26th week or childbirth accelerated by accidental injury before the 26th week. All other pregnancies require a health assessment to determine their coverage eligibility.
In case you have a pre-existing medical condition that is not automatically covered, you have the possibility to assess online if we are able to provide cover for your pre-existing medical condition for free or over the phone with one of our agents. An extra premium may apply depending on the assessment outcome of your condition. You can declare as many conditions as you want.
