Travel Insurance for Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

Online quotes and instant cover for travellers with health problems

Finding affordable medical travel insurance for pre-existing health conditions can be difficult especially if you want to travel further afield than Europe or are over 65. Many standard travel insurance policies exclude all pre-existing medical conditions as standard or will decline to cover you after screening.

World First specialise in providing affordable cover for people with conditions such as angina, asthma, blood disorders, cancer, deep vein thrombosis, heart conditions, HIV, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, pregnant women, thyroid problems and people who have had a stroke. We can often cover the lot, for anyone aged up to 79.

To make life a whole lot easier we have our own in-house medical screening system, operated by a specially trained team, so you don’t need to phone anybody else. We can give you an instant decision. Just call 0845 90 80 161 between 8am and 6pm or 9am to 4pm on Saturdays to find out about our exceptionally low premiums for travel insurance to cover your pre existing medical conditions.

Putting your health insurance first

All our premiums include access to a 24-hour emergency service, so help is only a phone call away. You will also have medical cover anywhere in the world for up to £5 million. As well as cover for travel delays, luggage loss, cancellations and personal liability.

We provide policies for anything from a single trip, to longstay, backpackers or annual multi trip.

Medical travel insurance that travels better

Since 1973 we have been insuring travellers who have medical problems and have looked after the needs of millions of travellers. We pride ourselves on our ultra efficient and friendly service.  Should you need to make a claim we will be with you every step of the way.
