Does visitors insurance or travel insurance cover treatment for cancer?
Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Typically, chronic and congenital conditions are excluded with travel medical insurance. Examples are high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. The only thing that is covered in relation to a pre-existing condition is something diagnosed as an acute onset of a pre-existing condition. An acute onset of a pre-existing condition is a sudden and unexpected recurrence of a pre-existing condition and is up to the doctors diagnosis. To read more about what an acute onset of a pre-existing condition is, see our blog post about pre-existing conditions.
