Travel Insurance for Rheumatoid Arthritis FAQs

Do I need to declare rheumatoid arthritis on Travel Insurance?

Yes. Rheumatoid arthritis is considered a pre-existing medical condition and needs to be declared on your insurance. This is to ensure you can access the treatment needed in a medical emergency, without having to pay costly medical bills abroad. Failing to declare pre-existing medical conditions such as arthritis on your insurance risks invalidating any future claims made on your insurance, so it’s important to declare any conditions as they apply to you when you initially take out your policy.

What does rheumatoid arthritis Travel Insurance cover?

Rheumatoid arthritis covers emergency medical expenses related to either your condition or sudden illness/injury abroad. It also covers cancellation should you need to unexpectedly cancel your trip for an insured reason, and repatriation (the cost of getting you home in a medical emergency).

Is there an upper-age limit for rheumatoid arthritis Travel Insurance?

No. As with all our Travel Insurance policies, we offer rheumatoid arthritis cover with no upper age limit. This means whether you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or 80s and are looking for rheumatoid arthritis Travel Insurance, we’ll be happy to help.

How does having rheumatoid arthritis affect the cost of insurance?

Having rheumatoid arthritis may slightly affect the cost of your insurance, especially if it has led to other related medical conditions. However, the cost of your insurance will also depend on other factors, including your age, destination, trip length, and any activities you plan on undertaking. Declaring all pre-existing medical conditions (no matter how they affect the cost) is important to make sure you have the right insurance should you need to make a claim later on.
