This article helps you if you get stuck using the online system when going through the medical screening. This is where you declare your medical conditions and answer the related questions.

If you would like to edit your quote, for example, to add a medical condition, then please read this help article.
Please note, this help article can help you with the process of ‘how’ to declare your medical conditions but we’ll be unable to confirm whether the medical condition is correct or any of the answers are correct. You would need to refer to your doctor if you are unsure in these areas.
Medical screening is a sequence of simple questions relating to your declared medical conditions that you’re required to answer when buying travel insurance.
You’ll be required to complete the medical screening process when obtaining a quote via our website or verbally over the telephone when purchasing via our Contact Centre.
Declaring medical conditions online
How do you declare a medical condition online?
Begin the quote process, complete your trip and personal details and select ‘continue’.
Under the Traveller’s medical condition page, you’ll be asked to declare all pre-existing conditions.
Select 'add condition'.
Please enter the name of the condition into the search bar and select 'Search'; the condition will appear on a list below for you to select.
You will then be asked some questions about your specific medical condition. Once you have answered these you'll have declared your condition and any quote you're offered will cover you for that condition.
If you went past the medical declaration page and you want to get back to it, please select ‘Edit quote’. This will return you to the first page and you can continue through to the medical declaration page.
The system asks: ‘Is any further treatment planned for this condition?’
If you’re aware that you require treatment for a condition and have a date/appointment or are on a waiting list for it, you will need to include this when answering this question.
Unsure how to answer a specific question
