Single trip medical travel insurance
Do I need single trip medical cover when I have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)?
The EHIC and GHIC entitle the holder to medical treatment at the same price as the residents within certain EU countries. This often means either free or reduced costs however it may not always provide sufficient cover. For example, if you were taken to a private clinic in a private ambulance, you wouldn’t be covered.
The EHIC/GHIC also doesn’t cover the cost of repatriation if you need to be flown back to the UK due to accident or illness. For these reasons, it’s advisable to take out adequate travel insurance as well.
Can I get single trip travel insurance if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
At InsureandGo we consider any pre-existing medical condition, just be sure to declare it before purchasing your policy. There may be an additional premium to cover some medical conditions.
If you don’t declare your pre-existing condition you won’t be covered for claims relating to it should anything happen.
