Why it is Important to Cover Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

Travelling should be exciting, not stressful. At Freedom we understand the importance of finding the right cover for your health needs. That’s why we’ve developed comprehensive travel insurance specifically designed to support people who’ve had a heart attack so you can travel with confidence knowing we’ve got your back.

Many of our customers come to us looking for travel insurance for heart conditions that offers real peace of mind while abroad. We also understand how important it is that your medical condition’s accurately declared and considered when choosing the right travel insurance. Our support team reviews each case carefully to ensure our cover supports a wide range of heart or circulatory conditions. If you’re dealing with health problems related to your heart, we’re here to help you get the protection you need.

If you’ve had a heart attack you’ll know how crucial it is to have travel insurance cover in place for any related complications. That’s exactly what our policies are built for – offering peace of mind should your health circumstances change unexpectedly while you’re away.

Applying for Travel and Holiday Insurance Following a Heart Attack

When applying, it’s important to declare your heart attack and any related complications or treatment. If, for example, you experience chest pains on holiday and your condition’s been declared, your policy will provide cover for emergency treatment, trip cancellation or even curtailment – so long as it relates to what you’ve told us about. This also ensures you’re protected should your medical condition require further treatment abroad.

We know that medication such as blood thinners, cholesterol tablets or blood pressure drugs may be prescribed after a heart attack. That’s why we ask you to let us know exactly what’s been prescribed and what it’s for. With the right information, we can make sure your policy works as it should if you ever need to make a claim. This applies whether your heart history includes ongoing conditions or a past heart attack that’s now under control.

When you apply, you’ll be asked to provide accurate personal details and a clear medical history. This helps us tailor your heart attack cover to your individual needs and ensures you’re not left exposed in the event of a medical issue abroad.

Whether you’re applying for insurance after a heart attack or looking for broader insurance for heart conditions, it’s important that your policy reflects your full health picture so you’re properly covered throughout your trip.

  • This depends on how your heart attack was treated and how far you’re travelling. If you’ve had a heart bypass and plan to travel long haul, doctors often recommend waiting around six weeks. Always check with your GP or consultant before travelling.
