Understanding Pre-existing Medical Conditions and Sainsbury’s Travel Insurance
It’s vital to understand how pre-existing medical conditions are handled with your Sainsbury’s Travel Insurance policy. A pre-existing medical condition is any health issue, illness, injury, or disease that you experienced before your trip commences.
Transparency is key. You must declare any pre-existing medical conditions when you get your quote. Furthermore, it’s important to inform Sainsbury’s Bank of any new medical conditions that arise before your departure date. Similarly, if the nature of a declared condition changes, you should also update them. This ensures that your policy accurately reflects your health status and provides the appropriate cover.
