Travel Insurance While on a Waiting List: What You Need to Know

Waiting in a hospital

 

On a waiting list and looking for travel insurance? We can help.

 

You do not not necessarily need to put your travel plans on hold, however it’s important to understand how your medical status can affect the options for travel insurance available to you. That’s where we come in – we specialise in finding insurance solutions that meet our customers' needs, even those awaiting medical treatment.

 

Arranging travel insurance when you are on a waiting list: 

 

Whether you obtain a travel insurance quote through our website or by talking to our UK-based contact centre team, we’ll ask if you’re awaiting surgery, tests, treatment or investigation. If you’re awaiting treatment for a diagnosed condition then you should answer Yes to this question.

 

Because you are aware that further testing, treatment or investigation is required for the diagnosed condition, our insurers will not provide cover if any of these result in you having to cancel or curtail (cut short) your trip.

 

Ensuring you have the right cover: 

 

  • Be honest! By telling us everything you can about your medical conditions you can ensure that your policy is valid. You'll then be fully covered should a medical emergency arise during your trip.
  • We work with several specialist insurers, but only a select few are available if you’re awaiting treatment or tests. Our website or contact centre will help you find the right cover to suit your needs.
  • Consider adding cruise or gadget cover for added peace of mind. We can help you understand if these are right for you; we will never try to sell you something you do not need but we will make you aware of the options.
