Travel Insurance for Hip Replacements FAQs
What does Travel Insurance for hip replacements cover?
Travel Insurance for hip replacements includes cover for emergency medical assistance related to your condition abroad. It also includes repatriation if a trip to hospital on holiday deems it necessary for you to return home to be treated, and cancellation cover if an unexpected change in your health means you can no longer travel. As with many of our Travel Insurance policies, you’ll receive the usual benefits like baggage cover, protecting your luggage in the event it becomes lost, stolen, or damaged.
Is there an upper age limit for hip replacement Travel Insurance?

Whether you’re over 50, 65, 70, 80, or beyond with a hip replacement, we’ll be happy to help you find the right insurer to cover your needs. All so you can travel with confidence abroad, knowing you are fully-covered should the unexpected happen.
How does having a hip replacement affect the cost of insurance?
Having a hip replacement may result in a slightly higher insurance cost depending on the medical screening questions and answers. It’s important to note, however, that Travel Insurance costs depend on other factors such as: your age, the destination/duration of your trip, and any other pre-existing medical conditions you have. Make sure to declare all conditions as applicable to you to ensure you are properly covered should you need to make a claim while on holiday.
Do you have to declare a hip replacement on Travel Insurance?
Yes. A hip replacement is classed as a pre-existing medical condition, and must be declared on your Travel Insurance. This is true regardless of how recently you had surgery, and ensures you are financially protected if you need to receive any unexpected treatment abroad. Failing to declare a hip replacement, or other pre-existing medical condition, could impact your ability to make a claim on your Travel Insurance policy.
How soon can I fly after hip replacement surgery?
If you’ve recently had a hip replacement and are wondering how soon you can fly following surgery, this depends on a few different factors. These include the type of surgery you’ve received, how recently, and the recovery time you were given by your specialist.
This does depend on your own case and you should speak to your doctor, specialist or physiotherapist, to ensure they are in agreement with any travel plans. You would not be covered if you travel against the advice of a medical professional.
