Cover for existing medical conditions

Arrange a medical assessment and apply for travel insurance with cover for existing medical conditions.

The information below relates to the Leisure International, Frequent Traveller and Executive International policies - no cover is available for existing medical conditions under the Budget International and Discover NZ policies.

A medical appraisal form must be completed and submitted for approval before purchasing a policy if:

• You have a High Risk existing medical condition, or
• You require cover for an existing medical condition other than those automatically covered, or
• You are 70 years of age or over

Full details, including a list of High Risk existing medical conditions and a list of medical conditions that are automatically covered, can be found in the applicable policy wording document. In most cases an assessment can be completed without information needing to be provided your doctor. Where information is required from your doctor to complete the assessment, you will be notified in 2-3 business days.
