Slipped Disc Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance for Slipped Discs

Also known as a prolapsed or herniated disc, a slipped disc can lead to lower back pain, numbness or tingling sensations, neck pain, and muscle weakness. As many as 60-80% of the population may experience a slipped disc at some point, making the condition more common than you may think.

If you have suffered a slipped disc in the past and intend to travel, it’s important to secure specialist Travel Insurance that covers this condition abroad. Our Slipped Disc Travel Insurance offers cover for any emergency medical assistance/expenses abroad, plus cancellation and repatriation (the cost of bringing you home), helping you travel with confidence.

Travel Insurance for Slipped Discs FAQs

Do I need to declare a Slipped Disc on Travel Insurance?

Yes. A slipped disc is a pre-existing medical condition, meaning it needs to be declared on your Travel Insurance. Not declaring this would mean you would be responsible for any medical expenses abroad if you needed to receive treatment for your condition, which can be extremely costly. Not declaring a pre-existing medical condition can also lead to other, unrelated, claims being declined.

What does Slipped Disc Travel Insurance cover?

Slipped Disc Travel Insurance covers emergency medical expenses abroad (whether for your condition, or sudden illness/injury). It also covers cancellation if an unexpected change in circumstances (i.e. illness or injury) means you have to cancel your trip, and repatriation if you experience sudden illness abroad and need to return home. Baggage cover can also be included which protects your luggage in the event it is lost or stolen during your trip.

How does having a Slipped Disc affect the cost of insurance?

Having a slipped disc may affect the cost of your insurance compared to if you did not have this condition. However, it’s not the only factor that could affect your quote – your age, the destination and length of your trip will also have an impact. This means you should declare any pre-existing medical conditions in full no matter how they affect the cost, as failure to do so could impact your ability to claim if/when needed.

Can you fly with a Slipped Disc?

Yes, you can fly with a slipped disc, provided your doctor has confirmed you are medically fit to travel. After being given the go-ahead, it may be worth informing your airline so they can make any necessary adjustments too.

What if I have recently had, or am awaiting surgery for a Slipped Disc?

If you have recently had, or are awaiting surgery for a slipped disc, don’t worry. We are still able to help you find personalised Travel Insurance with cover for slipped discs.
