Travel insurance for anaphylaxis and severe allergies

What is anaphylaxis travel insurance and why do you need it?
Anaphylaxis travel insurance is a specialist type of medical travel cover designed for people who are at risk of severe allergic reactions when travelling abroad. It provides financial protection and emergency assistance if you experience an anaphylactic reaction while away from home, whether triggered by food allergies, insect stings, medication, or environmental allergens.
Because anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, we treat it as a pre-existing medical condition. Without the right cover, you could face high overseas medical bills, difficulty accessing emergency treatment, or issues replacing essential medication such as epinephrine auto-injectors. Anaphylaxis travel insurance ensures you have access to appropriate medical care, 24/7 emergency support, repatriation if needed, and cover for any related medical expenses.
Having this a policy to cover pre-existing medical conditions allows you to declare your condition correctly, avoiding the risk of claims being rejected. Whether you're travelling for a holiday or family visit, specialist cover gives you confidence and peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your trip knowing you’re fully protected should an allergic emergency occur.
What anaphylaxis travel insurance should cover
Whether you suffer from minor and more common allergies such as hayfever, or have more severe reactions known as anaphylaxis, we can provide a comprehensive travel insurance policy to include cover for your medical condition. Over 20% of the population are affected by one or more allergic disorders so it's important that you have a stock of your prescribed medications or EpiPen in case you have an allergic reaction whilst travelling.
Anaphylaxis travel insurance with It's So Easy Travel Cover provides comprehensive medical protection if you experience a severe allergic reaction abroad. Anaphylaxis can progress quickly and requires urgent treatment, it’s essential that your policy includes high levels of emergency medical cover, access to 24/7 medical assistance, and support for hospital care, ambulance costs, and specialist treatment.
Cover for your prescribed medication is also crucial. This includes protection for epinephrine auto-injectors such as EpiPens, as well as help replacing them if they are lost, damaged, or used during an emergency. Many travellers with severe allergies will also benefit from policies that include repatriation, ensuring you can return home for further medical care if advised by doctors.
It's So Easy travel insurance policies specifically cover pre-existing conditions and we understand the unique needs of travellers at risk of anaphylaxis. This often includes allergy-related complications, follow-up care, and, in some cases, cancellation cover if your doctor advises against travelling due to a flare-up or recent reaction.
Our main concern is providing you with adequate cover for your personal needs and that's why we won't sell a policy unless we can cover you for everything, including pre-existing medical conditions. Regular travel insurance is not usually designed to include cover for a pre-existing medical condition, even if your prescription is only precautionary. This means that should you require medical attention or need to cancel for any reason that’s directly or indirectly linked to your allergies, a regular policy may well decline your claim. If you’re planning a holiday and have allergies, regardless of how well your symptoms are controlled, it’s important to obtain cover including any pre-existing conditions and to declare this at the time of taking out travel insurance which would ensure that any possible complications are covered.
When travelling abroad you should always make sure that you have your medication to hand. If you have an EpiPen, it's worthwhile consulting your GP and obtaining a written letter to state you must always carry this with you, especially during flight.
