Get a QuoteWhat is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the liver, often due to viral infections such as hepatitis A, B, or C, though it can also have other causes. It can affect people in different ways depending on the type and severity, ranging from short-term illness to long-term liver conditions requiring ongoing care. In the UK, hundreds of thousands of people are living with some form of hepatitis.
With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage hepatitis with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.
Having the right travel insurance in place for hepatitis 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 if you’ve been diagnosed with a liver condition
- Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
- Stick to familiar foods where possible if your condition is diet-related
- Plan your travel schedule so you can take breaks if needed
- Check local healthcare facilities before travelling
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, including liver conditions. If relevant, you will need to declare your hepatitis on the policy.
Many people with hepatitis can still arrange travel insurance with us. The cover available depends on the details of your diagnosis and how it is currently managed, so full and accurate answers in the medical declaration help us find the most suitable options.
