Is a sudden increase in blood pressure covered by visitor insurance?
Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Travel Medical Insurance plans typically cover new sicknesses, injuries, or accidents that occur after the policy's effective date while the insured is outside their home country. A sudden increase in blood pressure may be covered if it's not related to a pre-existing condition. However, if the insured has chronic high blood pressure and takes medication to control it, an increase would likely not be covered unless the insured has a plan that covers pre-existing conditions. These plans do not cover preventative care services, including voluntary checkups and screenings.
