Underactive thyroid travel insurance

Having a pre-existing medical condition such as an underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism shouldn’t stop you from travelling where you want to, when you want. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, around 2% of the UK population has an underactive thyroid/ hypothyroidism and women are 5 to 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with the condition than men are.

Affecting mainly the over 60s, having an underactive thyroid/ hypothyroidism doesn’t mean you can’t travel. At AllClear we provide 5-star tailored medical insurance to cover your hypothyroidism as well as any other pre-existing medical conditions you may have.

We cover for repatriation back to the UK and also cover you for any costs lost due to cancelling your holiday because of a medical condition or an unforeseen circumstance. When travelling with an AllClear policy you will be traveling with an insurance provider that specialises in covering pre-existing medical conditions, leaving you the peace-of-mind to sit back, relax and enjoy your holidays.

Do you need Travel Insurance for Hypothyroidism?

It’s easy to forget why we need travel insurance when booking a holiday. Even holidays in the UK might require some level of medical travel insurance to protect you from cancellation costs that might occur. You may even require medical transport repatriation back to your local medical vicinity which might not be covered by the NHS.

When travelling abroad it’s vital to have medical travel insurance. If you have any pre-existing medical condition such as an underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism then it is essential that you don’t leave yourself paying any large medical bills that can easily accumulate from any medical treatment you might need while abroad.

Travel soundly in the knowledge that your AllClear insurance policy will cover the costs of any treatment you may need up to £15million. We can cover the costs of someone to stay with you while you’re being treated away, if required. According to the Independent a claim is made every minute by UK residents abroad.

Covid-19 and Underactive Thyroid/ Hypothyroidism

The impact of the Coronavirus COVID-19 has been felt worldwide and is still very much an ongoing situation.

When asked whether or not the Coronavirus COVID-19 is more harmful to people with an underactive thyroid/ hypothyroidism, or if they are at any greater risk of infection, the British Thyroid Foundation has confirmed that people with an underactive thyroid/ hypothyroidism are not at any greater risk due to their autoimmune condition. The immune system responsible for fighting off viral infections such as Coronavirus COVID-19 is separate from the autoimmune system that is affected by an underactive thyroid/ hypothyroidism. So the good news is that you may not be at a greater risk because of your pre-existing condition.

However it is always best to keep up to date with the latest advice and information from the government and the NHS when possible. Check regularly with the British Thyroid Foundation or Thyroid UK for the latest information regarding Coronavirus and underactive thyroid.
