Hi my husband had an angiogram about 18 months ago which was good showing no problems with his heart. He takes medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol which are controlled well. Would he be covered for any potential cardiac problems under your policy when we travel to Europe next month. He is 64years old
Apia travel insurance will not automatically cover your husband for his pre-existing medical condition. Moreover, they’ll require you to fill out and submit a pre-existing medical form request and meet a medical practitioner for assessment. You may refer to the section on getting a cover with a pre-existing condition above for the procedure and conditions.
Generally, travel insurance brands consider cardiac or heart problems to be strong risk factors for travel and exclude them from their automatic cover. However, there are still some insurers that will cover people with pre-existing heart conditions although these brands will require medical assessment as well. You may check our list of brands covering heart problem and their terms and conditions. You might also find our guide on travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions helpful.
If you are the owner of the land or building you are occupying during your travel date, and certain circumstances arise where your property has caused bodily injury or property damage to a third party during your trip, this is not covered by the policy.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.

Hi Trent,
Thanks for your question,
If you are the owner of the land or building you are occupying during your travel date, and certain circumstances arise where your property has caused bodily injury or property damage to a third party during your trip, this is not covered by the policy.
I highly recommend you check your personal liability insurance options to ensure you are getting the right policy for you.
I hope this helps.
