Travel insurance cover for high cholesterol
Standard travel insurance tends to exclude cover for pre-existing medical conditions, and this can include high cholesterol. Although high cholesterol itself doesn't usually cause any symptoms, you will need to disclose it when applying for travel insurance to ensure that you are protected for your trip against any possible related conditions. For travel in Europe, you should also ensure that you have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
What does travel insurance for high cholesterol cover?
A travel insurance policy which covers high cholesterol offers you protection in the event of any complications whilst on holiday. Cancellation cover would mean that if you were deemed unfit to travel before your holiday, for reasons relating to complications of high cholesterol or its declared related conditions, you would be entitled to make a claim. Please be aware that each insurer offers different levels of cover, and you should double check the cover limits of the policy before buying.
