Medical screening for breast cancer travel insurance
Medical screening is an important part of our process as it enables insurance providers to understand your medical background and provide you with suitable cover.
Once you declare breast cancer (whether that’s a past diagnosis and remission or a 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, in which case, you might prefer more general travel insurance for cancer patients.
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 a holiday insurance policy for breast cancer?
Travel insurance for people with breast cancer could offer coverage for a variety of different things. Generally, you should expect to see these things included in your policy:
- Lost, Stolen or Damaged Personal Belongings - this could include medication you bring with you.
- Emergency Medical Expenses and Repatriation - in the event that you need to pay for a hospital trip, or even full medical evacuation back to the UK.
- Cancellation and Curtailment - if you need to cancel your holiday or cut it short due to your condition.
- Travel Delay - this won’t always be included, make sure to 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.

It’s easy to tell us about your medical conditions! After you've provided your trip details and answered some medical history questions, you can add your pre-existing conditions, one by one, for each traveller on your policy. You'll only need to enter your details once; it's all online, and there's no need to call or provide details of your conditions in writing.

No, we are unable to provide cover that excludes any of your pre-existing medical conditions.
If you don't travel much, then single trip cover is perfect, as you can cover specific dates suited to your trip. If you have cancellation cover, you'll also benefit from this as soon as you buy your policy.
If you travel two or more times a year, it may be cheaper to get annual multi-trip cover. It's best to start your annual trip cover as soon as possible as if you have cancellation cover, you'll only benefit from this from your policy start date.
