All too often, people who try to claim for medical expenses will find that the insurance company will not pay out due to a pre-existing condition which is not even what you are claiming for. Three types of travel insurance which could cover you for pre-existing conditions are total pre-existing condition cover, limited travel insurance cover and long term cover.Total pre-existing condition cover is obviously a more expensive option but it will offer you comprehensive cover for any pre-existing conditions. It will pay for any visits you may have to make to a doctor while you are abroad plus any hospital stays. It will also cover you for air ambulance or repatriation of your remains if you were to die while on holiday. Some of these packages will also pay for a relative to travel out to you if you had a medical emergency. A limited travel insurance policy for pre-existing conditions will normally pay for repatriation of remains should you suddenly die while abroad plus it will pay for a limited amount of hospital or doctor's visits, normally one. Some of these plans will include a cash payment for a sudden recurrence of your pre-existing condition while you are away. If you are going to be away for a long period or are planning on working abroad, then a long term pre-existing condition insurance policy is probably the best option for you. Many of these plans will cover you after a certain period of time or will have limits to the amount of cover they will provide each year. They could also include large excesses. You should make sure that you are fully aware of what your policy actually covers. Travel insurance for those with pre-existing conditions may cover you only up to a certain age or for a certain amount of time. You should also make sure that your pre-existing condition is covered under certain activities that you are planning to undertake while away. These are all important points which should be fully checked before making your trip. Another important thing to check with your insurance provider is how they define a pre-existing condition as it may differ from your idea of a pre-existing condition. There is no point in paying out for an insurance policy that will not cover you should push come to shove.
