Medical Screening for Cancer Patients – How It Works
When it comes to cancer travel insurance, the medical screening process can often feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed a unique system that’s different from most other insurance providers.
Rather than using generic medical questionnaires, we’ll assess your cancer in a way that helps us offer you a different price. Unlike many providers, we’re not listed on price comparison sites because we believe that everyone’s needs are different. With us, you can easily complete your medical screening online or by phone, and get a quote in minutes.

Travel insurance for cruise holidays

You can remove the extension on the Additional Cover Options page, where you’ll also see the premium. Without it, standard cover still applies and you will be covered to go on a cruise holiday, but you won’t receive these extra benefits.

Cancer Travel Insurance FAQ
What types of cancer can you cover?
We can cover all forms of cancer, up to a high level of severity: lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, leukaemia and breast cancer are increasingly common, but we can also cover cancers which are not so common.
I have a terminal prognosis; can you still provide cover?
Possibly. As long as your prognosis is at least six months from the end date of your proposed trip, we may still be able to offer cover.
Why do I need to declare my cancer when I buy travel insurance?
It’s imperative to declare cancer and any other medical conditions you have when you purchase travel insurance so that you are covered for any emergency medical treatment you might need while you are away; and also in case you become unwell ahead of your holiday and need to cancel.
If a pre-existing medical condition, such as cancer, causes you problems while you are on holiday and you had not declared it in advance on your policy, you wouldn’t be covered by your travel insurance, which could result in costly medical bills.
How do I declare my cancer?
When you request a travel insurance quotation, either by phone or online, you will be able to declare your cancer and tell us more about your condition. It will only take a few minutes and can be done online or by phone.
Do I need to declare all of my pre-existing medical conditions?
Yes. It will allow us to get a fuller picture of your medical history and therefore, be able to provide you with the most suitable cover. If you haven’t declared a condition to us, it could lead to any claims being only partially paid out, or even denied altogether.
