As you proceed through the medical screening process, we will gather all the information needed to offer a quote for your specific circumstances.
As we’re a Specialist Medical Travel Insurance provider, the first step towards getting a quote is completing the medical screening process.
This medical screening process is a set of questions we’ll ask you about your cancer, and any other pre-existing medical conditions you might have. Some questions we may ask include:
The answers provided during the medical screening process can have a significant impact on your Cancer Travel Insurance. We’ll use the information you give and your unique medical history to provide the best cover for your trip.
We won’t be able to cover you for costs relating to any medical issues that aren’t declared during the screening process. This is why it’s important to provide accurate information at this stage, so we can keep you protected and you don’t end up out of pocket for any unexpected costs.
At AllClear, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to travel.
If you’ve got a secondary or additional pre-existing condition in addition to cancer, we can help cover your travel plans. We can cover over 1,300 different conditions, and we’ve helped more than 3.5 million people get cover for their trips.
If you have another condition, you must also declare it during the medical screening process. Remember that we define a pre-existing medical condition as any condition you have:
Examples of other pre-existing medical conditions we cover include:
Each trip will be slightly different if you’re travelling with cancer, so you might need a different policy depending on your travel plans.

“My husband has cancer which has metastasised and we wanted insurance for a week away. The man that arranged it for us was extremely helpful and talked us through everything. He gave me a reference number, I then booked the holiday and he rang back and we completed the booking. It was stress free, just what we needed.”

There’s a reason we’re the UK’s most trusted Travel Insurance provider2.
The cost of Travel Insurance for Cancer patients will change depending on your unique set of circumstances. The nature of your cancer, what stage it is at, whether or not you’re in active treatment, and if your cancer is expected to be or is currently in remission. All of this will alter the quote for your Travel Insurance.
Here are a few other things that will also change your quote premium.
Yes, you need to declare any cancer that you have had medical treatment, consultation or check ups for in the last 2 years during the medical screening process. This still applies, even if your cancer has been in remission for years. This covers things like skin cancer and prostate cancer too. Even if your cancer has been in remission for years, you are still required to declare it during the medical screening process.
If you don’t declare all your pre-existing medical conditions, you may find that your policy becomes invalid, leaving you out of pocket for any unexpected medical costs while abroad, as well as any other holiday mishaps, like lost luggage, delays or cancellations.
Yes, having skin cancer will affect your Travel Insurance. Skin cancer counts as a pre-existing medical condition, and should be declared during the medical screening process. Even if your skin cancer has been in remission for years, it’s important to disclose it or you may find that your policy becomes invalidated.
Medical screening is an important step when buying Travel Insurance, as this lets your provider know what sort of cancer you have, and what sort of treatment you will or might need. If we have any specific cancer-related exclusions, you are not covered for any claims related to the cancer or its treatment.
50% of people diagnosed with cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for ten years. You must declare your cancer and that you are in remission if you have had medical treatment, consultation or check ups for it in the last 2 years.
We can’t cover undiagnosed conditions. So, we won’t be able to cover you for cancer if you’re in the middle of a diagnosis. We will, however, be able to cover you for other pre-existing medical conditions or issues on your trip. You just wouldn’t be covered for any treatment or costs relating to the undiagnosed health condition.
The UK Government recommends that you always have the correct level of Travel Insurance for the country you are visiting. It’s important to note that the GHIC covers you for some emergency medical bills in participating European countries. It won’t, however, cover you for other needs, like transport to and from the hospital.
The GHIC also does not cover any other unexpected costs that might come up, such as lost baggage, delays or cancellations.
