Travel Insurance for Heart Conditions FAQ’s
Frequently asked questions about Travel Insurance for Heart Conditions.
What is Travel Insurance for heart conditions?
There is no reason why you cannot get Travel Insurance if your doctor has cleared you for travel – but you should make sure your pre-existing conditions are declared and covered.
We work with a panel of insurers who specialise in this area, providing cover for virtually all heart conditions, including if you have had a heart attack and/or heart bypass, you’re living with angina, have an irregular heartbeat or ischaemic heart disease. It is important to declare your heart condition, to ensure you have the right cover should you need treatment for it when you’re on holiday.
What does Travel Insurance for heart conditions cover?
People take Travel Insurance to protect against the unforeseen, particularly with regards to medical treatment overseas if you have an accident on holiday. However, if you have a pre-existing condition such as angina or cardiovascular disease you must make sure you declare these when taking out insurance, so that you’re covered for any treatment you need while away relating to your existing condition. Having the right cover could save you a lot of money when it comes to medical bills should you need treatment abroad. Plus, your Travel Insurance will also offer cancellation cover, for example, if you need to cancel your trip for medical reasons relating to your previous/existing heart conditions.
Can I get insurance for all destinations if I’ve had a heart attack?
It is our aim to provide you with a Travel Insurance quotation wherever you’re going and whatever pre-existing medical condition you have – that’s why we work with specialist providers who cover hundreds of pre-existing medical conditions including heart conditions. Let us know where you’re going and declare your medical conditions and we will show you a list of prices from insurers that can provide the cover you need.
Is Travel Insurance more expensive with angina or heart problems?
Travel Insurance may be more expensive if you declare medical conditions as it provides cover for medical bills relating to these conditions, rather than just treatment for any new injury/illness you sustain on holiday. The cost of treatment varies by country, and insurers will consider this, along with your age, trip length when calculating the premium. When you get a quote online we compare prices and cover and show you a list of options to choose from, most of the time with a bronze, silver and gold option, depending on the level of cover you need.

Can I get Travel Insurance with cover for heart conditions at any age?

Even if your medical condition is controlled by medication, or you suffered a heart attack previously, it must be declared.
Is there an upper age limit for Travel Insurance if I’ve got heart conditions?
We believe that age and medical history should not be a barrier to travel and that’s why there’s no upper age limit on some of our policies. All quotes are tailored to you, so when you enter your details and answer the medical questionnaire we will only show you prices from the insurers that can provide cover for you.
Is Travel insurance more expensive after a heart attack?
Travel Insurance to cover heart conditions can be costly and can vary depending on where you’re going, due to the cost of medical treatment in that particular country. While some insurers may turn you away, we work with insurers who specialise in cover for pre-existing medical conditions and we will compare prices and cover for you to find the cover you need. It’s important to remember that the price you pay for Travel Insurance is not just based on medical history and conditions you have, but also age, destination and trip length, and will also depend on if you want a single trip or annual policy.
