It’s important you declare a stroke and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.
You can declare your medical condition 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.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

These are just a few of the things our policy covers. For the ins and the outs, take a look at our policy wording.
Get QuoteTravel insurance can give you the protection you need in case the worst happens when you’re aboard.
Medical care in other countries can be expensive, but travel insurance can cover you for the costs of medical emergencies relating to your condition. Without travel insurance in place you’d have to pay for any treatment out of your own pocket.
Everyone’s medical history is different, but we’ll ask you these sorts of questions:
We need to be sure that you’re fit and safe to go abroad. That means we won’t be able to cover you if your doctor says you shouldn’t travel.
Once you’re fit and well, we should be able to cover you.
The NHS says you shouldn’t fly for two weeks after a stroke. After this, you’ll need to get the all-clear from your doctor to confirm you’re fit to fly.
On a long-haul flight, you’re likely to be inactive for a long time. This can slow your blood flow and cause clotting and deep vein thrombosis. You can reduce the risk with exercises, like flexing your ankles, and taking regular walking breaks.
It can be a good idea to let the airline know about your medical needs before your flight. Booking an aisle seat can make it easier to get up and move around.
You should call our 24-hour medical emergency number as soon as possible. We can direct you to the best place to get help. We can even act as a translator between you and the medical team if you don’t speak the language.
If you need to be transported by air ambulance to a more suitable medical facility, then we can do that too.†
A policy with us also means you can be covered for new flights home and the costs for extra accommodation. We can also pay for your travelling companion or partner to fly home with you, as well as providing a trusted person to accompany any children home if they need it.†
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
