High Cholesterol Travel Insurance
High cholesterol is a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke due to plaque buildup in the arteries.
We pride ourselves on providing our customers with an excellent comprehensive travel insurance cover, especially for people with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Although almost half of UK adults live with raised cholesterol, having a medical condition like this shouldn’t stop you from enjoying a holiday abroad. However, you will need to ensure you plan in advance when it comes to organising your insurance.
Important Reasons For Insuring Your Medical Condition
Here at Free Spirit we can cover even if you have more than one medical condition. We appreciate that if you have high cholesterol you may also have high blood pressure or hypertension or you may have previously had a stroke or a heart attack. We will ask you about all of your pre-existing medical conditions to ensure none are missed and so that full cover is in place.
Travelling companions can be covered on your Free Spirit policy, whether they have a pre-existing medical condition or not. By including your friends and family on your policy, will ensure the whole party is covered, if you had to cancel your holiday due to your high cholesterol. This may not be the case with other insurers.

With a Free Spirit medical travel insurance policy, you gain the peace of mind to travel knowing that you and your medical condition are fully covered.
Consequences Of Not Covering Your Medical Conditions
A medical emergency while abroad can be traumatic for anyone and failing to ensure all of your medical conditions, could also leave you open to paying out for expensive medical treatment and hospital accommodation costs. If you need to be medically repatriated home, the costs for this can run into thousands of pounds.
If you need to cancel your holiday due to your high cholesterol and have not declared your medical condition, you could be liable to pay out for any unused travel and accommodation costs that you are contracted to pay or lose money for costs that you have already paid for.
