Pre-Existing Conditions in Visitor Insurance Explained
Explains how Visitor Insurance handles pre-existing conditions and what “acute onset” actually means.
Pre-existing conditions are illnesses diagnosed before buying insurance, such as diabetes or heart disease.
Most Visitor Insurance plans do not cover regular treatment of pre-existing conditions.
Some plans cover sudden and unexpected flare-ups, known as acute onset.
Planned treatments and routine check-ups are usually excluded.
Always read policy wording carefully when buying insurance for parents.
