Fatty Liver Travel Insurance
Fatty liver is a condition where excess fat accumulates in liver cells, often linked to obesity, diabetes, and poor diet, and can lead to liver damage if untreated.
According to the NHS, it’s thought that as many as one in three people has some small accumulation of fat in their liver, which in many cases causes no problems at all. However, long-term fatty liver can lead to further damage over time, resulting in inflammation and eventually cirrhosis – scarring of the liver. Cirrhosis is a non-reversible and potentially serious condition that can lead to liver failure.
Taking a holiday should not be out of reach if you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver but you should think about how you will look after your health while you’re away. The most important thing for anyone with a pre-existing medical issue, such as fatty liver, is to ensure you have specialist travel insurance that covers your condition.
Do I Need Travel Insurance That Covers Fatty Liver?
You might wonder if you need to let your travel insurance provider know if you have fatty liver disease. Yet, because it is always possible for the condition to worsen and develop into more severe liver damage, you must declare a fatty liver condition on your travel insurance policy.
This way, if you were to need healthcare related to your liver condition while you are on holiday, you wouldn’t be left with a large medical bill. Overseas treatment can be very expensive, but travel insurance is there to protect you from such costs. Having said that, many standard travel insurance providers will exclude people with long-term health conditions, like fatty liver disease, which is why medical travel insurance providers like Free Spirit exist. We make it our mission to offer travel cover to people of any age who may have existing medical conditions.

Travelling With Fatty Liver Disease
As you will know if you have a fatty liver, the best way to avoid further liver damage is to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A holiday is a welcome break from the norm, but it shouldn’t be a complete vacation from all things healthy; especially when this could negatively affect your liver condition. Try to make healthy choices while you’re away on holiday just like you would do at home, this is the best way to ensure your trip doesn’t come at the expense of your health.
In many parts of the world, it often does not take much to run up large medical costs, should the unexpected happen. Free Spirit travel insurance specifically designed to cover fatty liver therefore is essential. You need to be certain that you will be able to access the healthcare you might need wherever your travels take you, and that you won’t be left with the bill. Our policy also provides, as standard, cover for cancellation, repatriation, cutting short your trip, personal possessions, passport & documents, travel delay, and missed connections.

Customer reviews
″I needed a Travel Policy that was going to cover me and the family for my recent trip to Turkey and also provide cover for my medical condition. I chose Free Spirit as their prices were very reasonable and the staff were very knowledgeable about the product and both helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family and will be using them again for my next trip abroad.″
