Travel Insurance for people with heart attack, stroke or related condition e.g. angina

If you need travel insurance but have had a heart attack, a stroke or have had corrective surgery e.g. a heart bypass then this condition has to be declared but we can arrange cover in all but the worst cases. This applies for people who are over 65, over 70, over 75, over 80 or even over 85.

As we are insurance brokers we aim to provide travel insurance for as many people with medical conditions e.g. angina as possible and have found insurers who are willing to cover people with heart related conditions. They are able to cover people of any age up to a maximum of three months away.

We have three options for people who have had a recent heart attack

1. A medical only travel insurance policy with a high excess: aimed at people who just want reassurance that if they do need to make a claim then their costs will be limited.

2. A standard-type travel insurance policy. The excess will be fairly typical - £50 or £100 and so will the cover e.g. baggage, cancellation, curtailment etc

3. A top-quality travel insurance policy with high limits and no excesses - this is designed to provide assurance for the traveler to know that they are fully covered.

Your needs and the circumstances of your heart condition may vary - you may have mild angina or have had a by-pass. Similarly you may be a smoker or have other aggravating factors. We therefore have three options.

• Obtain a standard travel insurance quote. (The same policy will quote assuming you have no medical conditions but you can then include your heart conditions as necessary) - this may be more suitable if you only have a mild heart condition - but you will have to have your medical conditions screened.
