Travel Insurance for an Hyperparathyroidism

Hyperparathyroidism is a hormonal condition where the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, which can affect calcium levels in the body and lead to a range of symptoms that can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 30,000 people live with the condition.

Most people with hyperparathyroidism continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it is done safely and confidently.

Travel insurance can help provide protection if your condition affects your trip:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
• Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
• 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad

Travel advice for people with an endocrine condition

• Keep medication and monitoring equipment easily accessible
• Maintain regular eating and medication routines while travelling
• Check that you have enough supplies for the duration of your trip
• Seek medical advice before travelling if symptoms have recently changed

If you have been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure.

Travel insurance is still available if you’ve been diagnosed with a medical condition. However, the cover options offered vary depending on the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled. Providing clear and accurate information during your medical declaration helps to make sure that the most appropriate cover is arranged.
