Conditions like diabetes or hypertension are increasingly becoming common among all age groups which might just add to the risk. Fortunately, travel insurance policies cover the cost of treatment if the policyholder finds himself/ herself in an emergency medical situation while travelling even if that situation arises due to pre-existing diseases (PEDs). Notably, though, this cover is only available for life-threatening situations and will pay the medical expenses for treatment required to bring the patient out of danger and to stability. There are specific plans that provide policyholders with PED coverage up to a certain limit or up to the sum insured. If the policyholder is suffering from any chronic disease like diabetes or high blood pressure, then those conditions are categorised as pre-existing diseases.
