Our medical screening process

Frequently asked questions about oral cancer and holiday insurance
We consider covering all medical conditions, including when cancer spreads. If your doctor has said you’re well enough to travel, you will need to declare the cancer and whether it has spread to other parts of your body as well as provide information on treatment you are receiving during our medical screening process.
You will need to update us if there are any changes to your condition – these changes may mean an additional premium needs to be paid. If your condition has changed and you can’t travel as result, you can make a claim as long as you declared your condition when you first bought your policy and you are within the cover period.
Yes, because even if it was a few years ago, declaring the condition helps us ensure you get an appropriate level of cover so we can help should something go wrong.
Once you are fully discharged from the surgery and declared fit to travel, you can apply for a quote. Make sure you declare the surgery in the medical screening process, which will need to be accepted and any additional premium paid.
