Travel Insurance for Bipolar Disorder FAQs

How does having Bipolar Disorder affect the cost of insurance?
Having bipolar disorder may result in a slightly higher Travel Insurance cost compared to someone travelling without any pre-existing medical conditions. Nevertheless, it’s important to declare it on your policy to ensure you have the right cover for your needs. Remember, the cost of Travel Insurance depends on other factors too such as your age, the destination/length of travel, and any other pre-existing medical conditions you have. Failing to declare pre-existing medical conditions on your Travel Insurance could effect your ability to claim on your policy if the need arises.
Is there an upper age limit for Bipolar Disorder Travel Insurance?

Can I buy Travel Insurance for someone else with Bipolar Disorder?
Yes. If you know someone with Bipolar Disorder and they are unable to do so themselves, you can arrange Travel Insurance on their behalf provided you have their permission to do so. All we ask is that you have a detailed copy of their current treatment plan to hand when answering our medical questionnaire, and have them check that their information is correct.
Can I get Travel Insurance while I’m still waiting for a Bipolar Disorder diagnosis?
Yes. At Just Travel Cover, we are able to offer cover for undiagnosed medical conditions if you are currently awaiting a diagnosis such as bipolar disorder. We’ll need to ask you some questions about your undiagnosed condition including your symptoms and the tests you are awaiting results from to help match you to available insurers who can provide cover.
