Additional waiting list cover

This optional additional cancellation and curtailment cover if you are on a waiting list for treatment or investigation for a diagnosed condition can cover cancellation or curtailment due to treatment

Cover for cancellation and curtailment

Additional cancellation and curtailment cover if you are on a waiting list for treatment or investigation for a diagnosed condition. (If you are awaiting an initial diagnosis for symptoms you are experiencing we cannot provide travel insurance cover until you have a confirmed diagnosis.)

This option extends your travel insurance to include cancellation and curtailment cover in the following circumstances:

  • You receive an appointment for the awaited treatment that conflicts with your trip
  • You become unable to travel due to the treatment you were waiting for

In this situation you would be able to cancel or cut shot your trip and then make a claim to recoup the cost from your travel insurance, up to the amount stated in your schedule of cover.

Please Note: You will need to ensure you buy cover for everyone on the policy who may need to cancel if you were called for treatment, not just the person who is awaiting treatment.

Terms and conditions apply: The full terms and conditions of this cover are available to view when you are choosing which options to add to your policy. They will also be sent to you when you purchase cover.

Additional waiting list cover is available to add to our Gold and Platinum policies.
