Breast Cancer Travel Insurance

Why declaring breast cancer is important to your policy

Breast cancer is not a condition that is automatically covered in a standard travel insurance policy - so, you’ve come to the right place.

We appreciate that it can often be difficult for cancer patients to find the right travel insurance for them, without paying a hefty premium. That’s why we enable you to compare cover across a range of leading travel insurance providers through our simple and quick online comparison tool. 

This helps you find the right cover for your condition in a matter of minutes - so try it today and start comparing.

Medical screening for breast cancer travel insurance

Medical screening is an important part of our process as it enables insurance providers to determine your medical background and provide you with suitable cover based on this. 

Once you declare breast cancer (whether that’s a past diagnosis and remission, or present cycle of treatment) it’s likely that you might be asked a series of questions about the nature of your condition. 

For instance, you might be asked about the course of treatment you’re receiving, or if you’re in remission - how long it has been since you got the all-clear. You might even be asked whether cancer has spread to another part of your body. 

Of course, the answers you provide will be personal to you, so it’s therefore imperative that you answer as accurately as possible.

What’s typically covered in an insurance policy for breast cancer?

Your travel insurance policy could offer coverage for a variety of different things, including:

• Lost, Stolen or Damaged Personal Belongings - this could include medication you bring with you.  
• Emergency Medical Expenses and Repatriation - in the event that you would need to pay-out for a hospital trip, or even full medical evacuation back to the UK.
• Cancellation and Curtailment - the insurance provider will cover you in the event of needing to cancel your holiday or cut it short as a result of your condition.
• Travel Delay - this won’t always be included, check with your provider.
• Personal Liability - if you cause accidental damage to another person or someone else’s property - cover is provided.

Specialist insurance including breast cancer might include further cover in other areas, but generally, these are the types of things you should expect to be included in your policy (so be sure to check as you compare).

Tips for travelling with breast cancer

Both before and during travelling with breast cancer, there are a number of different things you need to do to ensure you’re as well looked after as possible. 

This includes: 

• Getting the right cover - with us, you can compare specialist travel insurance including breast cancer cover in minutes. 
• Pack enough medication - consult your doctor about your trip in order to get an idea of how much medication you should bring in supply - especially if you take tamoxifen or herceptin.
• Protect skin after receiving treatment - your skin can be more sensitive to sunlight after you’ve undergone radiotherapy, so it’s essential to be extra careful when outdoors.
