Find Myeloma Travel Insurance

Myeloma (or ‘multiple myeloma’) is a type of cancer affecting the blood and bone marrow. Around 6,200 people are diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the UK every year according to Myeloma UK, more commonly older people over the age of 60.

Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma can cause big changes in your everyday routine, both at home and when away travelling. With specialist myeloma Travel Insurance, you can enjoy your holiday to the full knowing you are protected should you need any unexpected medical assistance/treatment abroad. Myeloma Travel Insurance also covers cancellation if your condition unexpectedly deteriorates requiring you to cancel, and repatriation if you suddenly become ill or injured abroad and it is deemed medically necessary for you to return home.

What Questions Will I Be Asked When Applying for Multiple Myeloma Travel Insurance?

When applying for multiple myeloma Travel Insurance, you’ll be asked a few questions. These help us gain a better understanding of your condition to help match you to the right insurer, including (but not limited to), the following:

  • What stage is the condition currently at?
  • Have you had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant?
  • How long ago was the diagnosis made?

    There will likely be follow-on questions depending on how some questions are answered to enable us to fully establish your needs.  We understand that some of these questions may be difficult for you to answer, so if you prefer, you can have someone else apply on your behalf. Please make sure your chosen person has sufficient knowledge of your condition, with a copy of your diagnosis and current treatment plan to help. Make sure to answer any questions accurately as failure to do so could effect your ability to make a claim.

    Travel Insurance for Multiple Myeloma FAQs

    What does Travel Insurance for Multiple Myeloma cover?
    Travel Insurance for multiple myeloma covers emergency, unforeseen, medical expenses should your condition or a injury require treatment abroad. It also covers repatriation (the costs of getting you home) if said condition/injury means the assistance team deem it medically necessary to return home, and cancellation if an unexpected change in health status means you can no longer travel. You’ll also get baggage cover as with many of our Travel Insurance policies, which protects your luggage and belongings in the event of loss, damage or theft. 
    Are travel options limited for those with Multiple Myeloma?

    No, not in all cases. With adequate planning, doctor-patient consultation and specialist Myeloma Travel Insurance, many people with the condition can travel freely. After confirming with your doctor you are medically fit to travel and arranging Travel Insurance with cover for myeloma, there may be a few other things to consider when planning your trip.

    For information and advice on travelling with myeloma, visit trusted sites like Myeloma UK to help plan your trip.

    How does having Multiple Myeloma affect the cost of insurance?
    Having multiple myeloma can result in a higher insurance premium compared to someone without the condition. This is due to the potential increased risk of you needing assistance abroad. It’s important to declare multiple myeloma on your Travel Insurance regardless of how this affects the price to ensure you are properly covered should you need to cancel your trip, seek treatment abroad, or be medically repatriated home due to your condition. Note that the price of Travel Insurance will depend on other factors including your age, the destination/duration of your trip, and any other pre-existing medical conditions that apply.
    Is there an upper age limit for Multiple Myeloma Travel Insurance?
    No. At Just Travel Cover, we offer multiple myeloma Travel Insurance with no upper-age limit, including cover for over 50s, 65, 70, 80, and beyond. No matter your age or pre-existing conditions, we’ll be happy to help find the right Travel Insurance provider for you.
    Can I get Travel Insurance while I’m still waiting for a Multiple Myeloma diagnosis?
    No. At Just Travel Cover, we do offer cover for undiagnosed medical conditions, but unfortunately these exclude those relating to the heart, lungs, breathing, or cancer. If you are awaiting a diagnosis for multiple myeloma, you’ll need to wait until you have a confirmed diagnosis before obtaining myeloma Travel Insurance. For more information on arranging cover while awaiting a diagnosis, view our Travel Insurance for Undiagnosed Conditions page.
