High Cholesterol Travel Insurance

Yes, even though high cholesterol doesn't usually cause any symptoms, it is still classed as a pre-existing medical condition. So, you must declare it when going through the medical screening.

Yes — it's essential to declare high cholesterol if you have a diagnosis or have received any treatment or medication for it. This includes even mild or well-managed conditions.

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.

Whilst the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) is here to give you access to state-provided healthcare in the EU, it’s important to know that the GHIC has important limitations on what it can cover.

For example, it doesn’t cover costs for private medical treatment if appropriate and getting you home if medically needed (known as repatriation). Also, you would have cover against standard travel problems like trip cancellations or lost baggage while abroad.

To make sure your policy provides the right protection, we’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your medical condition.

The questions will typically cover areas such as your current medication, any related conditions like high blood pressure, and whether your condition is being actively monitored by a doctor.

Rest assured, your responses are always kept strictly confidential.

Finding the suitable policy for travellers with high cholesterol depends on how you travel. You can choose from two main types of cover:

• Single Trip Cover: Designed for those planning a one-off holiday. Covers the full duration of your trip from the moment you leave until you return home.
• Annual Multi-Trip Cover: Ideal for travellers who travel frequently. Covers multiple trips within a 12-month period under one convenient policy.
