Travel Insurance for Gout FAQs
Do I need to declare Gout on Travel Insurance?
Yes. Gout is classed as a pre-existing medical condition, meaning it should be declared on your Travel Insurance. This ensures you should be covered if you require any emergency medical assistance abroad, saving you from paying costly medical bills.
What does Gout Travel Insurance cover?
Gout Travel Insurance covers:
- Emergency medical expenses (arising from sudden illness, injury, or as a result of a pre-existing medical condition provided this is declared and accepted).
- Cancellation – if you have to cancel your trip for an insured reason, such as unforeseen/sudden illness or injury, etc.
- Repatriation – the cost of returning you home in the event of a medical emergency, if necessary.
- Baggage – if your luggage is lost or stolen during your trip.
Is there an upper-age limit for Gout Travel Insurance?
No. Our Gout Travel Insurance policies come with no upper-age limit. This means that whether you have been previously diagnosed with gout and are looking for specialist Travel Insurance in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or 80s, we’ll be happy to help match you with the right insurer.
How does having Gout affect the cost of insurance?
Declaring pre-existing medical conditions including Gout is not the only factor that can affect the cost of your insurance. Your age, the destination, and length of your trip can also affect the cost, so make sure to declare any pre-existing conditions that apply to you no matter how this affects your quote. This is to ensure you are adequately covered abroad if you need to make a claim.
Can you fly with Gout?
Yes, provided your doctor is in agreement with your travel plans.
