Diverticulitis sufferers can find insurance whether they suffer from a mild or a more serious form of the condition. Diverticula is the medical term to describe small pouches that can develop in the large intestine. They become more common in older age. It is estimated that half of people have diverticula by the age of 50 rising to 70% by the age of 80. Approximately 1 in 4 people who have diverticula will develop symptoms such as abdominal pain, this is diverticula disease. Diverticulitis occurs when bacteria becomes trapped inside one of the diverticula leading to inflammation or infection and more severe symptoms. Complications include abscesses inside the large intestine, fistula, peritonitis and intestinal obstruction. When travelling diverticulitis can be trickier to control as it can be more difficult to monitor your diet and intake of fibre and avoid foods that may trigger an attack.
We want you to be able to enjoy your holiday without being concerned about possible medical bills at the end of your trip. Find diverticulitis travel insurance today.
Do I need to declare I am an diverticulitis sufferer?
We would not suggest travelling without adequate travel insurance for any pre existing medical condition - even when a condition is mild. If a diverticulitis attack causes a more serious situation to develop, you can face significant medical costs which may not be covered if your insurer considers the root cause was your diverticulitis. Medical costs abroad can be very expensive and without adequate insurance cover you can end up facing financial ruin if you suffer from a health-related problem while abroad.
We have listed some of the companies on the left which will cover your condition, including some who do not load premiums for mild sufferers (although this is dependent on other factors such as age and medical history).

With this service, diverticulitis holidaymakers are free to enjoy themselves as any other person on holiday does.
What are the requirements for diverticulitis travel insurance?
In order to make an accurate assessment of your risk, an insurance company will ask for your medical history in order to tailor the insurance to your specific case. Typical questions are the following:
- How old were you when this diagnosis was made?
- How many medicines do you take for your diverticulitis?
- How many hospital admissions have you had for your diverticulitis in the last year?
- Have you been treated for diverticulitis in an intensive care unit in the last five years?
The price you pay for travel insurance with diverticulitis conditions can vary widely depending on the specific type or circumstances.

Tips for finding the best diverticulitis travel insurance
Something to bear in mind when looking for relevant travel insurance to cover a specific health condition is to remember that you should always tell the truth when making an application for insurance. If you do not reveal your full state of health and make a claim on your insurance at a later date, it could be invalid and you'd be left to cover full medical and repatriation costs back to the UK.

You can even get a quote for pre-existing diverticulitis travel insurance or for diverticulitis people's travel insurance online or over the telephone.
