Will atrial fibrillation affect my travel insurance?

Living with atrial fibrillation shouldn’t stop you from finding travel insurance you can feel confident in. But it can make it harder. Any pre-existing medical condition will make your holiday cover more expensive. This is because there’s a higher chance you’ll make a claim. It's important to declare as much as you can about your heart condition, to make sure you find the right policy. That way, you’ll have the right level of protection if something doesn’t go to plan.

What will stop me getting travel insurance if I have atrial fibrillation?

It’s not impossible to get holiday cover when you’re living with atrial fibrillation. In fact, PayingTooMuch specialises in travel insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. You might struggle to get insured if:

Your condition is still being investigated/is undiagnosed

You’re on a waiting list for surgery or a procedure

You’re waiting to be discharged from post-operative checks

Your atrial fibrillation has been diagnosed as terminal

Frequently asked questions

What questions will I be asked during the medical screening for atrial fibrillation?

You’ll be asked questions to make sure you get the right cover for your needs. This might include:

How your atrial fibrillation is being treated

How many unplanned hospital visits for your irregular heartbeat you have had in the last 12 months

If you’ve ever been advised that further investigation or treatment is required for this condition

If you’re on medication to thin the blood (excluding aspirin and clopidogrel)

If your heart rhythm ever caused collapses, faints or blackouts

Questions will vary depending on your answers. It’s important to be as honest as possible to make sure your travel cover is right for you.

Do I need to declare atrial fibrillation on my travel insurance?

It’s really important to tell us about any conditions that you’ve had symptoms, treatment or medication for. Declaring any medical conditions helps to make sure your policy is right for your needs. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that you'll be covered if something goes wrong.

Do you cover other types of arrhythmias?

Yes, we can usually cover most types of arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardia, bradycardia and heart block but eligibility depends on you and the stage of your condition.

Where can I travel to with a pre-existing condition?

With the right policy, you should still be able to travel to the same places you normally would. This will normally exclude any destinations that are against FCDO advice, but you can check the full policy details when you get your quotes.
