Pre-Existing Medical Condition Exclusion

If you're worried about traveling because you have a pre-existing medical condition, you should know that on many Travel Guard policies purchasing your travel insurance the same day you make your first trip deposit (or shortly after) may qualify you for the pre-existing medical condition exclusion waiver.

Pre-Ex Exclusion Waiver
The Company will waive the pre-existing medical condition exclusion if the following conditions are met:

  1. Purchasing the travel insurance with your first trip deposit, or shortly thereafter as explained in the policy;
  2. The amount of coverage purchased equals all prepaid, non-refundable trip payments or deposits, and the cost of any subsequent arrangements added to the same trip are insured by the date of payment or deposit for the additional arrangements;
  3. You are medically able to travel when your travel insurance policy is purchased.
