Travel Insurance for Myeloma

Myeloma is a blood cancer affecting plasma cells in your bone marrow. It can impact your immune system, bone strength, and overall health in ways that make standard travel insurance unsuitable for your needs.

Standard policies automatically exclude cancer and related conditions, which means any medical treatment connected to your myeloma won't be covered abroad. That's why you need specialist myeloma travel insurance from providers who understand your condition and can assess your individual situation properly.

When you apply for travel insurance for myeloma, insurers need to understand your health properly.

We'll ask you about:

When you were diagnosed, and what type of myeloma you have
Your current treatment status - active treatment, remission, or maintenance therapy
Any complications you've experienced, such as infections or bone fractures
What your consultant says about your fitness to travel
Your most recent blood test results and how you're responding to treatment

Timing matters when getting cover. If you're between treatment cycles or in stable remission, finding myeloma travel insurance is more straightforward than if you're in the middle of active treatment or dealing with complications.

Emergency medical treatment abroad

If you develop complications whilst travelling, your policy covers hospital admission, diagnostic tests and scans, medications and specialist consultations, and any emergency procedures you need. With myeloma, complications can develop quickly and require immediate specialist attention.

Infection treatment

Myeloma and its treatment can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections. Your policy should cover treatment if you develop an infection abroad, including antibiotics, hospital care, and diagnostic tests.

Medical repatriation

If you become seriously unwell and need specialist care back home, your insurer arranges and pays for your return to the UK. This includes medical escorts and any special equipment needed during the journey. Myeloma requires specialist expertise that might not be available everywhere abroad.

Trip cancellation and curtailment

If your health deteriorates before departure and your doctor advises you can't travel, you can reclaim your holiday costs. If you need to come home early because of a medical issue, your unused accommodation and additional travel costs are covered. Keep all medical documentation to support any claims.

Travelling companion cover

Some policies include cover for a companion if they need to stay with you during treatment abroad or cut their trip short because of your health.

Getting the right travel insurance for myeloma is straightforward with specialist medical insurers. Begin by disclosing your condition, including your diagnosis date, treatment status, any complications, medications, and consultant approval. Full disclosure ensures your claim will be accepted if you need medical care abroad.

We provide cover for pre-existing conditions, emergency medical care, hospitalisation, infection treatment, and repatriation. If you're on immunosuppressive treatment, ensure your policy covers infection-related risks and ask about precautions for travelling with a weakened immune system.

We make the application straightforward, allowing you to compare policies, customise cover for your destination, and get a quote quickly, giving peace of mind before you travel.

Living with myeloma doesn't mean putting your travel plans on hold. With the right travel insurance, you can explore the world knowing you're properly protected if your health needs attention whilst you're away.
