Rock Insurance with Europ Assistance
Important Medical Health Requirements
You must comply with the following conditions in order to have full protection under this policy. If You do not comply We may, at Our option, cancel the policy, refuse to deal with Your claim or reduce the amount of any claim payment.
This insurance operates on the following basis:
1. To be covered, You must be healthy, fit to travel and to undertake Your planned Trip;
2. The insurance will NOT cover You when You are travelling against the advice of a Medical Practitioner (or would be travelling against the advice of a Medical Practitioner had You sought his/her advice);
3. The insurance will NOT cover You when You are travelling with the intention of obtaining medical treatment or consultation abroad.
4. The insurance will NOT cover You if You have any undiagnosed symptoms that require attention or investigation in the future (that is symptoms for which You are awaiting investigations/consultations, or awaiting results of investigations, where the underlying cause has not been established).
No claim arising directly or indirectly from a Pre-existing Medical Condition affecting You will be covered unless:
* You have declared that condition to Us; and
* You have declared any changes in Your health or prescribed medication; and
* We have accepted that condition for insurance in writing.
Each Insured Person who has a Pre-existing Medical Condition (other than the Waived Conditions listed) must make a Medical Health Declaration before each Period of Insurance and, if there are any changes in Your health or prescribed medication, prior to commencement of the Period of Insurance or departing on any Trip. Failure to declare any Pre-existing Medical Condition that is relevant to the insurance may invalidate the policy.
Pre-existing Medical Condition
For the purposes of this insurance, a Pre-existing Medical Condition is considered to be:
1. Any past or current Medical Condition (any medical or psychological disease, sickness, condition, illness or injury) that has given rise to symptoms or for which any form of treatment or prescribed medication, medical consultation, investigation or follow-up/check-up has been required or received during the 2 years prior to the commencement of cover under this policy and/or prior to any Trip: and
2. any cardiovascular or circulatory condition (e.g. heart condition, hypertension, blood clots, raised cholesterol, stroke) that has occurred at any time prior to the commencement of cover under this policy and/or prior to any Trip.
We may require You to obtain a medical report from Your General Practitioner or Consultant in order to assess whether cover applies. Any costs incurred in obtaining this medical report shall be borne by You.
Based on Our assessment of the medical information supplied to Us, We will decide whether or not the person is suitable for insurance, if certain exclusions or restrictions should be imposed, or if cover can be offered subject to the payment of an additional premium. If We offer cover, and, if the cover is subject to the payment of an additional premium, cover will not commence until full payment has been received by Us and written confirmation has been provided by Us.
To declare a Pre-existing Medical Condition or a change in Your state of health or prescribed medication, You should contact the Medical Screening Helpline during office hours on:
0870 737 6377
You will be asked further questions about the condition(s) and an additional premium may be payable to cover the declared condition(s).
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS - CANCELLATION, CURTAILMENT & TRIP INTERRUPTION COVER
This policy will NOT cover any Cancellation, Curtailment or Trip Interruption claims arising directly or indirectly from a Pre-existing Medical Condition, known to you prior to the commencement of the Period of Insurance, affecting any:
* Close Relative who is not travelling as an Insured Person under this policy; or
