Medical FAQs

  • I am currently under a course of treatment with my GP. Should I declare this to the insurance company?
    Yes it is essential that all pre-exsisting medical conditions are declared or it may invalidate any claim. If you have a serious medical condition you will need to speak to our medical screening department who will be able to inform you if we can insure you.
  • If I fall ill or have an accident while abroad, how do I pay my medical bills?
    You should first check that the circumstances are covered by your policy. Having done this please contact the 24 hour Emergency Hotline, where further advice and instruction will be given. In case of emergency, if you are physically prevented from contacting us immediately you or someone designated by you must contact us within 48 hours. You must gain our prior authorisation before incurring costs over £500.
  • My GP has told me that it wouldn't be a good idea to travel abroad. Does this invalidate my policy?
    Yes as far as the medical expenses section of your policy. If you received the advice after you had booked a holiday abroad then you may be able to claim for the cost of the cancelled trip. You should take the time to contact us and we will be able to supply more help.
