Dreaming of a getaway? Don’t let a heart attack stop you
Travelling abroad can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve experienced a heart attack. Whether it was years ago or more recent, having the right Travel Insurance that covers your condition is crucial to ensure you have the right protection on your trips.
As long as a doctor has given you the green light to travel, a heart attack shouldn’t stop you from going to your dream destination, it just means you need to take extra precautions.
Travel Insurance for heart attack typically covers you for emergency medical expenses, such as emergency treatments you may need while you’re abroad. Additionally, if you have to cancel your trip because you become unfit to travel due to your declared pre-existing medical condition, your insurance can offer protection.
It is essential to declare your heart attack on your Travel Insurance policy.
Travel Insurance for a Heart Attack
Wherever you plan on going, whether a trip to the Algarve or the Mediterranean, you must declare pre-existing medical conditions on your Travel Insurance, and this includes if you have ever had a heart attack.
If you’ve ever experienced a heart attack, declare this when you complete our medical screening so we can help you find the right policy for your medical needs. A heart attack may put you at a higher risk of complications, so it’s important to remain honest about your medical history.
