About Disclosing Blood Pressure and Cholesterol on your Travel Insurance

11/04/2018

Be careful before selecting to remove high blood pressure and cholesterol from your travel insurance

We have recently seen clients asking us about NOT DISCLOSING high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol when applying for travel insurance; "after all they’re well controlled,” they say. At first glance if this is going to reduce the cost it may appear quite reasonable, but what are the consequences?

If you simply fail to disclose medical conditions you may find ALL cover is invalid. You may find you have purchased from an insurer who DOES NOT OFFER COVER to people with medical conditions and as such would not wish to take your money. Buying a policy from them would be worthless.

What about disclosing the conditions and then selecting to exclude them? One of our customers was tempted to do this. He had always had full cover from us in the past but at renewal he went online and having disclosed the high blood pressure and cholesterol was tempted by a policy which excluded these conditions. He called us and asked if we could do the same. We suggested he check with the online insurer to see exactly what they were excluding and they confirmed to him "ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM high blood pressure and or cholesterol” When quizzed by the client they confirmed this meant that claims for "STROKE, TIA, HEART ATTACK and many other conditions were EXCLUDED as they were related to high blood pressure and/or cholesterol.”

It is IMPORTANT that you ensure that if you select to exclude cover for certain medical conditions you are aware of the FULL IMPLICATIONS.
