Also note that insurance companies usually take each case on its merits; it is usually a case of phoning around and finding the one that is the most suitable for you. Remember that, in Europe, in addition to the correct holiday insurance, you should also carry a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) Information about GHIC Click here WARNING - Many Insurance Companies take on new policies without asking any medical questions. They are able to do this because they rely on a clause in the small print which says that they will not cover pre-existing medical conditions. Patients must realise that such policies do not give them Insurance cover, and that any claims as a result (both directly and indirectly) of existing kidney disease under such a policy would not be honoured in the event of a claim. Whether you were accepted (without disclosing existing illness) and are paying the premium, is irrelevant in such cases. To travel abroad without Insurance which covers you for your pre-existing medical conditions could be catastrophic financially.return to Tips & guidance page goto top of page For further information needed about Travel Insurance visit : https://visaguide.world/travel-insurance/ This page summarises What International Travel Insurance is, what does and does not cover, how to choose the best travel insurance plans, and all the necessary data.
