Travel Insurance FAQs
Tesco Travel Insurance provides cover for your pre-existing medical conditions – after you have purchased your policy, you must contact our medical screening helpline on 0345 030 6124 if:
- you are diagnosed with a new medical condition;
- you experience new or recurring symptoms or have an undiagnosed condition;
- your doctor or other medical professional make any changes to your prescribed medication including the dosage;
- you receive in-patient medical treatment; or
- you are placed on a waiting list for investigation or medical treatment;
When you call, we will ask you specific questions about your medical condition(s).
After you complete your declaration, you may need to pay an additional premium to allow cover to continue for your pre-existing medical conditions and associated conditions. There is also a chance that we will not be able to provide you with cover for these conditions, in which case we will cancel your policy and refund you a portion of the amount you have currently paid unless you have not made a claim and do not intend to make a claim.
Tesco Travel Insurance can provide cover for pre-existing medical conditions - when you purchase the insurance, you must tell us about the pre-existing medical conditions of anyone to be insured on the policy. If you do not tell us about any pre-existing medical conditions, this may impact any claim you make. Please note there may be an additional charge to cover some medical conditions.
The policy will be void if you travel against the advice of a medical practitioner or your public transport provider.
If you are in any doubt, you should call to check whether you're covered for your medical condition before you travel. Please call 0345 030 6124*.
