What is colitis and crohn's travel insurance and why do you need it

Travel insurance for crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (IBD) is designed to protect travellers who may experience flare-ups, digestive complications, or unexpected medical emergencies while abroad. Because both conditions are classed as pre-existing medical conditions, standard travel insurance often excludes them.

 

Colitis and crohn's can lead to sudden symptoms that may require medical attention, hospital visits, or emergency treatment. Without the right cover, these costs can be extremely expensive overseas. It's So Easy travel insurance ensures you are protected for emergency care, medical treatment, hospital stays, and complications linked to your condition.

 

Whether you’re travelling for a holiday or family visit, having the right policy gives peace of mind. It ensures your condition is correctly disclosed and covered, reducing risk and allowing you to travel with confidence even if your health fluctuates.
