Travel insurance for people with gallstones

Gallstones affect about 10-15% of the UK population according to a study carried out at Aberdeen University. According to the NHS, gallstones are small stones, usually formed of cholesterol in the gallbladder. In most cases they don’t cause any symptoms or require treatment, but they can trigger an intense and sudden abdominal pain.

We understand that insuring a medical condition can be frustrating, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get travel insurance. So, if you are suffering with gallstones and are concerned about whether travel insurance will be able to cover you and your medical condition, or you’ve had trouble getting covered in the past, we may be able to help you.

One of the things that means we stand out from the crowd is that we will consider all medical conditions. Simply get a quote online or contact us to go through our simple medical screening process.

We’ll do our best to find a policy that’s suited to your needs. Like all of our travel insurance policies, our gallstones travel insurance cover will include a number of great features as standard, including:

For more information on what’s covered with our travel insurance for people with existing medical conditions including gallstones, have a read of our policy documents. And if you have another medical condition, for example, epilepsy, we can help with that as well!

And if you still can’t find what you’re looking for, why not get in touch with us and we’ll try to help.

Please note: ‘gallstones travel insurance’ is a general term for one of our standard travel insurance policies including cover for other health conditions, which is subject to medical screening and may require an additional premium. We don’t offer specialist cover for this specific condition.
