Travel Insurance for Cushing's Syndrome

Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol in the body that can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 13,000 people are living with the condition.

A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with Cushing's syndrome continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.

Having the right travel insurance in place can help to cover:

• Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
• Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
• Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
• Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with an endocrine condition

• Plan ahead so you have enough medication for your entire holiday
• Keep medication with you at all times during travel
• Try to follow your normal treatment routine while abroad
• Speak with your GP before travelling if you have concerns

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions. If relevant, you may need to declare Cushing’s on your policy.

Many travellers with existing medical conditions can still arrange travel insurance. The level of cover we can offer varies depending on the details of your diagnosis and how your condition is currently managed. Being honest and accurate when completing your medical declaration helps us to bring forward the most suitable cover options.
