Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Insurance for High Blood Pressure
1. Do You Have to Declare High Blood Pressure on Travel Insurance?
Yes — high blood pressure or hypertension is a pre-existing medical condition. So, when you’re buying travel insurance for hypertension, you must declare it when doing the medical screening.
Being open about your medical conditions helps ensure you get the right protection and that your policy remains valid.
If there has been a change to your condition, such as a change in medication or symptoms, while your policy is active, it’s also important to let us know so your cover stays up to date.
2. Why Do I Need Travel Insurance with Hypertension Cover If I Have a GHIC?
While the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) gives you access to state-provided healthcare in EU countries, it isn't a substitute for travel insurance. The GHIC has important limitations, as it doesn't cover:
- Private medical treatment, if this is the most suitable option for you to receive treatment
- Medical repatriation (the cost of getting you back to the UK if it's medically necessary)
- Trip cancellations or interruptions due to your condition
- Lost, stolen, or damaged belongings
- Replacement of lost or delayed prescribed medications
3. What Questions Will I Be Asked About My Hypertension?
To make sure your hypertension travel insurance provides the right cover, we’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your medical condition.
These will typically cover areas such as your current medication, any related conditions like high cholesterol, and whether your condition is being actively monitored by a doctor.
Rest assured, your responses are always kept strictly confidential.

6. How Much Does High Blood Pressure Increase Travel Insurance Cost?
The cost of travel insurance with high blood pressure varies per person.
