This help article will define our medical warranty, and what counts as a pre-existing medical condition.

If you are still unsure what you need to enter for your medical information, read What you need to declare.

A medical warranty is simply a condition of a policy which you must comply with so that the underwriter can decide whether or not to accept the risk and, if so, on what terms.

So in the case of our travel insurance medical warranty, this is a statement which you agree to comply with regarding your medical health.

The medical warranty represents an essential part of the insurance contract. If you make a claim but did not answer this warranty truthfully for all people to be insured, then your cover may be invalidated and consequently, any claim would be rejected.
