Why get medical travel insurance cover for a hernia?
Travel insurance policies normally do not cover pre-existing medical conditions such as hernias. When you purchase with medical travel insurance as long as you disclose your conditions ,and any of their related conditions, you will be covered by the medical expenses section of a policy. Along with the emergency help line you also get cover for expenses such as ambulance and hospital admission costs, and repatriation to the UK. Cancellation cover would mean that if you were deemed unfit to travel before your holiday, for reasons relating to your hernia, you would be entitled to make a claim.

The answers you provide will allow us to quickly assess your current health situation, so that we are able to provide you with travel insurance quotes that will provide the correct cover for you.
