Get a QuoteWhat is sarcoidosis?
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition that causes small clusters of cells, known as granulomas, to form in different parts of the body, most commonly the lungs and lymph nodes, which can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 10,000 people are living with the condition.
It’s important that you discuss your sarcoidosis with a doctor before travelling. They will need to be satisfied that you are fit to fly with sarcoidosis and that it is being properly managed.
Travelling with sarcoidosis can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
Having the right travel insurance in place for sarcoidosis 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 autoimmune condition like sarcoidosis
- Plan ahead so you have enough sarcoidosis 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 any concerns about sarcoidosis
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, including inflammatory conditions. Where it applies, make sure you declare your sarcoidosis when you take out the policy.
Many people with sarcoidosis 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.
