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 for Cushing's syndrome 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 like Cushing's syndrome
- Plan ahead so you have enough Cushing’s syndrome medication for the whole holiday
- Keep medication with you at all times while travelling
- Follow your normal Cushing’s 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.
Getting travel insurance if you have Cushing's syndrome is often still possible. The level of cover depends on your diagnosis and current treatment, so take care to give accurate details when you complete the medical declaration.
