Get covered and donate to Diabetes UK
For every policy sold, Diabetes UK Insurance Services will make a donation to Diabetes UK at no additional cost to you.
The dangers of travelling without proper cover
Most standard travel policies will have a pre-existing medical conditions exclusion. If you travel with a medical condition and then had to make a claim then any medical costs relating directly or indirectly to that medical condition would be excluded. This means treatment for your condition and any complications will not be covered.
Insurers require disclosure of pre-existing medical conditions of all members of the travelling party, even if not covered under the same policy e.g. a husband and wife. Failure to do so may lead to a claim being rejected. This is why Diabetes UK Insurance Services always suggests that all members of the travelling party are insured on a travel policy covering pre-existing medical conditions.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
If you use the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to reduce the cost of any medical treatment, then the £50 excess for each and every claim for Medical and Emergency Expenses will not apply.
Please note that the EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. The EHIC allows you to access state-provided healthcare in all European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland. There are conditions and restrictions as to what is covered and the EHIC does not provide any cover for repatriation.
Full details of the cover provided by the EHIC can be found on the EHIC website. This also provides a link giving you details of the conditions and restrictions in each country.
