Consequences Of Not Covering Your Medical Condition
Failing to purchase adequate specialist travel insurance, could leave you open to paying out for expensive medical and hospital costs, in the event you have a flare-up that requires emergency treatment. Many standard travel insurance policies exclude cover for pre-existing medical conditions such as Crohn’s or will decline to offer cover. You can call our 24-hour emergency assistance helpline from anywhere in the world to give you the peace of mind protection you need when you travel – just in case!
Things To Remember
It is important to take all necessary precautions to avoid holiday diarrhea as this can be particularly dangerous to people with Crohn’s disease. Ensure meat is never undercooked, and vegetables and fruit are not washed in tap water. Only consume pasteurised dairy products, do not drink tap water, and be wary of ice in drinks.
When you arrive at your holiday destination make inquiries as to where you can receive medical assistance in case of an emergency.
Medical advice must be received as soon as you notice any of the following symptoms: high fever, abdominal pain, dizziness, dehydration, and rectal bleeding.
