Always declare pre-existing medical conditions on your Travel Insurance and read the terms and conditions of your policy to ensure adequate cover.

Travel Insurance for IBS FAQs
Do I need to declare irritable bowel syndrome on my Travel Insurance?

Even if you experience mild symptoms, or the condition is completely stable, failing to declare irritable bowel syndrome could impact your ability to make a claim on your policy. If you require emergency treatment or need to unexpectedly visit a hospital while abroad, you could be faced with paying high costs if you do not declare your pre-existing medical conditions when arranging your cover. Having specialised Travel Insurance for any pre-existing medical conditions including irritable bowel syndrome can provide financial protection, ensuring you’re covered for any unexpected medical expenses.
Is irritable bowel syndrome considered a pre-existing medical condition?
Yes, irritable bowel syndrome is considered a pre-existing medical condition. If you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, our insurers need to know about your condition. Declaring this in the medical screening process allows us to find the best Travel Insurance policies to meet your needs.
What does Travel Insurance for irritable bowel syndrome cover?
Provided you have declared irritable bowel syndrome and this has been accepted on your Travel Insurance, you’ll be covered for any medical expenses related to your condition, subject to policy terms and conditions. For example, if you need emergency medical expenses or treatment, our insurers can provide cover up to £15 million. Additionally, if your condition suddenly prevents you from travelling, again subject to policy terms and conditions, we can provide cover up to £12,500 for cancellation. Always check the terms and conditions of your policy first to ensure it provides suitable cover.
Are travel options limited for those with irritable bowel syndrome?
If you’ve been declared fit to travel by a doctor, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t travel. We can search a panel of insurers to enable you to compare the cover options available to you and allow you to select the most suitable product, helping you fulfil those travel dreams.
