Acute onset of a pre-existing condition refers to a sudden and unexpected recurrence of a pre-existing medical condition that is not chronic, congenital, or a result of ongoing treatment. This situation requires immediate medical attention and occurs without prior warning.
It’s important to note that whether a medical event qualifies as an acute onset of a pre-existing condition is determined by the attending physician at the time of treatment. Coverage for acute onset is available under some travel insurance plans, but the benefits and conditions can vary.
