When applying for travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions you have to complete a medical screening over the phone. This is simply a set of questions related to the condition of your health, designed to ascertain the type and severity or risk of the pre-existing medical condition you have.

In some instances, an additional premium may be required but that is determined by the Medical Screening team and if this is required, the screening team will advise the amount and how to pay.

The NUCO Travel team will not be able to advise on pre-existing medical conditions.

Please contact the Medical Screening team on 01293 855 970 stating Tigon Travel Insurance to declare and discuss your pre-existing medical condition.
