Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Insurance with Gallstones
1. Do You Have to Declare Gallstones on Travel Insurance?
Yes — it is considered as a pre-existing medical condition. So, when you’re buying a policy to include cover for gallstones, you must declare it when doing the medical screening.
It’s important to let us know about your medical conditions, so we can make sure your policy gives you the right protection you need and ensures your policy remains valid.
If there are changes with your condition, treatment, or symptoms while your policy is active, please let us know so we can keep your cover up to date.
2. Can I Get Travel Insurance Covering Gallstones While on A Waiting List for Treatment?
We understand that waiting lists can be uncertain, but it doesn’t mean your travel plans would need to be put on hold. If you’re waiting for gallstone treatment, you may still be able to get the travel insurance you need.
We look at every application individually, so just get in touch — we’re happy to talk through your options. Please call us on 01483 806 826.
3. Can I Rely on The GHIC Instead of Holiday Insurance for Gallstones?
The GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) provides you access to state-provided healthcare in countries within the EU. However, it doesn’t replace holiday insurance since there are important limitations on what it can cover:
- Private medical treatment, if this is the most appropriate place for you to receive treatment
- The cost of emergency medical transport to get you back to the UK (known as medical repatriation)
- Trip cancellations, travel delays, lost/damaged luggage, and replacement of lost or delayed prescribed medications
4. What Will I Be Asked When Buying Travel Insurance for Gallstones?
To make sure your gallstones travel cover provides the right protection, we’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your medical condition. These will usually include questions about any procedures you’ve had for your condition.
