Essential Insights on Pre-Existing Health Conditions and Travel Insurance Coverage
Navigating Travel Insurance Jargon: Pre-existing Conditions Simplified
Diving into travel insurance jargon can feel like a Deep-Sea expedition, but fear not! Let's cut through the Complexity and focus on something critical for those with pre-existing conditions - pre-existing medical condition coverage. Why does this matter?
A medical evacuation in Europe can set you back anywhere between $65,000 and $90,000, depending on the situation, and your regular health insurance may not cover overseas treatment. That’s a bitter pill to swallow on your dream vacation! Pre-existing condition coverage ensures you can travel with peace of mind, knowing you're protected from financial risks should complications arise.
So, what qualifies as a pre-existing condition? Essentially, it's any illness, disease, or medical condition that required treatment, prescriptions, or medical examinations within 180 days before purchasing your travel insurance policy. This means:
- You've been advised to take a test, examination, or treatment for a condition that surfaced, worsened, or exhibited symptoms that would prompt a reasonable person to seek medical help.
- You received a prescription for medication. (Note: Conditions maintained solely through prescription drugs, which remain stable without changes in dosage or frequency during the past 180 days, aren't considered pre-existing conditions.)
- Your prescribed medication was adjusted—whether decreased, increased, or replaced—due to your condition worsening.
Fear not, fellow travelers! Our website can help you prepare for potential pitfalls. We offer a pre-existing medical conditions waiver that may just be the safety net you need. To qualify for this waiver:
- You must purchase your policy within 14 days of the initial trip deposit.
- You need to be medically able to travel when you purchase your policy.
That's not all! Plans on our website may also cover pregnancy-related complications while traveling. Life doesn't pause when you're exploring new horizons, after all!
But what exactly is a pre-existing medical conditions waiver? Normally, pre-existing conditions are excluded from most travel insurance plans. However, this exclusion can be waived if you meet the aforementioned criteria. The best part? This waiver comes at no additional cost and is automatically included in your policy if you qualify.
Submit a claim for pre-existing conditions with ease:
- Gather your documents: Your trip proof (e.g., flight tickets, hotel confirmations), physician documentation explaining your condition that led to cancellation or interruption, and your pre-existing conditions waiver proof.
