Travel Insurance for Senior Citizens

27 October, 2015 | Travel Insurance

Senior travellers face several challenges which include, among others, increasing travel insurance premiums, trusted insurers suddenly refusing to renew your policy because you've gone beyond their cut-off age. Exasperating as this may be, you shouldn't lose hope. Medipac Travel Insurance assures you that age does not matter and you have just as much right to enjoy the holidays in Canada or abroad. If you're looking for a senior travel insurance provider that meets you half way, you're certainly looking in the right direction.

What Can Senior Travel Insurance Do For Me?

Travel insurance serves as the life jacket or “buffer” to travel plans that have gone awry. All travellers, regardless of age, are advised to get travel insurance every time they take a trip abroad. The right travel insurance policy will give seniors a range of benefits and coverages for cancelled, delayed or interrupted trips, lost luggages, medical emergency evacuation and more. Many travel insurance providers like Medipac offer 24/7 support. Wherever you are on this planet, if you need help, please do not hesitate to give us a ring. We're just a phone call away!

Will A Senior Travel Insurance Cover Pre-Existing Conditions?

The truth is, not all travel insurance companies provide coverage for pre-existing conditions. There are a few, including Medipac Travel Insurance, that do cover most stable pre-existing conditions regardless of age. As long as you honestly tell us your pre-existing medical conditions and corresponding medication (prescribed by doctors). By disclosing the real score about your condition, your insurer will have an easier time providing you with a travel insurance policy that takes into account your existing conditions. Should complications arise during the trip, you will be covered accordingly.

Although you can declare a family member or elderly companion's medical conditions, be sure to check their medical history first and the reason for certain prescriptions. Medical questions are rather thorough so leave no stone unturned and extract every bit of information from them including past diagnoses (i.e. conditions related to cancer, circulatory or cardiovascular ailments, etc.).

One Travel Insurance Policy For You and Your Travel Buddies

It would be to your benefit if you add your travel buddies to your travel medical insurance plan. Both you and your companions will be covered in the event of a medical emergency. Separate policies will make you vulnerable to fun shortage, causing either of you to cancel the planned vacation.
