Question:

Pre-existing conditions I am 60 years old male, US citizen, staying in Arizona. I am going to Costa Rica on Saturday to get dental implant work done. Initial trip deposit more than 1 month back. I had stent put in his body for heart condition last June. Stable condition and no treatment since then. No change in health condition. Past 180 days look back period. If I get into any heart trouble while over there in Costa Rica, would Travelex cover it? Or would I be excluded because I am going there for a medical treatment? (Even though I am is going for dental work and not for heart related work?) Could you please clarify?

Answer:

Thank you for your interest in purchasing trip insurance from us. Based on the information you have provided the heart condition is not considered a pre-existing condition at this point. Any complications or worsening of the heart (as long as it does not occur because of the dental work which is highly unlikely) could be afforded coverage under the policy. Treatment for dental work does not provide an exclusion for anything other than that specific issue and would not apply to the heart issue. Please look at Travelex's Travelite and TravelPlus plans at /trip-cancellation-insurance/ If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
