Data covers Jan 2005 - Jan 2023It’s important you declare cardiomyopathy and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.
You can declare your heart disease on your travel insurance through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

Get QuoteWith a condition like cardiomyopathy, its level of severity can vary drastically from person-to-person. It is vital that you get the go-ahead from your doctor that you are fit to travel and participate in any activities you plan on doing while you’re away. Without this confirmation, we are unable to offer you cover.
The questions we may ask about cardiomyopathy include:
You should get the all-clear from your doctor that it’s safe for you to fly with your cardiomyopathy, as the answer may vary depending on your medical history.
Most people living with cardiomyopathy can travel by plane with no problems, depending on how their condition affects them. To reassure you, you may want to notify the airline you’re travelling with in advance about your condition.
The airline is responsible for you during your flight and can help you plan your journey and arrangements.
Refer to Cardiomyopathy.org for more information about flying with the condition.
If you are awaiting surgery for your condition, we can still cover you for travel delays, lost luggage and other problems that may arise during your holiday.
But unfortunately, we won’t be able to cover you for any claim relating to any of your pre-existing conditions.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
