Do I need to tell my travel / medical insurance I'm on weight loss medication?

Keeping your insurer informed of your prescription medications is important

Updated today

It's important to keep your travel and medical insurance providers informed if you're taking weight loss medication. Failing to declare your treatment could result in your policy being invalid or certain claims being denied, especially if issues arise that are linked to your prescription.

To ensure you're fully covered while travelling, even if you’re not taking the medication with you, make sure to notify your insurer either when you start treatment or when purchasing a single-trip policy.

If you need a copy of your prescription for travel purposes, just email us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to send it over.
