Understanding Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
Buying an insurance policy with pre-existing condition
There is a misunderstanding that people with pre-existing conditions are not eligible for travel or visitor insurance. The fact is that most of the time, you can get the Insurance. Though sometimes you may not be covered for your pre-existing medical condition, yet you will be covered for all other unforeseen medical events, so it is always worth buying an emergency medical insurance policy. Your peace of mind is what matters NOW.
Understanding Stable & Controlled
This term is often used in your insurance policy, and it will be advisable for you to understand the term and what impact it might have at the time of insurance claim. Generally, most insurance companies will cover pre-existing medical conditions if they are stable and controlled for 120 days before the date of departure. To understand the term better, please see the example:
Suppose a particular policy has a stability period of 120 days. During that period of 120 days, the insured has been treated or diagnosed for hypertension (High Blood Pressure), so hypertension will not be covered for the duration of the upcoming trip. In a nutshell, we can say that insurance companies want us to tell them the purpose of our visit to the doctor, if any, during 120 days before our departure date.
Pre-Existing Medical Condition and the cost of Insurance
As has been said earlier, people with pre-existing medical conditions can buy coverage. Still, there are chances that the policy will cost more than a policy with non-preexisting medical conditions.
The cost will depend on the severity of the condition, duration of the trip, the insured person’s age, and the medical condition’s nature.
What if I don’t mention about my pre-existing medical condition
It is not a wise thing to do; buying an insurance policy without disclosing the truth will amount to fraud. The policy will be invalid for the claim. It is defeating the whole purpose of purchasing the policy.
