Why Trust MoneySmart 💡

MoneySmart helps Singaporeans compare verified financial products side-by-side, so you find the best credit card, loan, insurance and other personal finance products for your needs—before you apply, not after. As an MAS-licensed platform with over 15 years in the market and a 4.4/5 Google rating from more than 2,000 reviews, we surface exclusive sign-up bonuses and deals you won't find by going directly to a provider—with faster gift fulfilment and flexible redemption on top.

Best Pre-Existing Medical Condition Travel Insurance in Singapore

Most standard travel insurance plans won't pay claims linked to a medical condition you had before you bought the policy. The best pre-existing condition travel insurance fills that gap with a dedicated plan or an add-on, and the right one depends on your condition, age and trip length. This guide compares Income Enhanced PreX Basic, MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex Standard, Tiq Pre-Ex Entry, FWD Premium and Great Eastern GREAT TravelCare Gold, all available on MoneySmart.

Disclaimer: This is general information, not medical or financial advice. Coverage terms change when insurers update their policy wording, so always read the latest policy documents and speak to your doctor before you travel with a health condition.

Note: Higher tiers carry higher limits. Use our pre-existing condition travel insurance comparison tool to compare the latest plans.

How pre-existing condition travel insurance limits work

  • Sub-limits sit inside the overall limit: Income Enhanced PreX Basic covers overseas medical bills up to S$800,000 for adults below 70, but only S$300,000 of that applies to pre-existing condition claims.
  • Limits often drop at 70: On many plans, travellers aged 70 and above get lower pre-existing condition limits. See our guide to travel insurance for seniors.
  • Co-payments apply on some plans: You pay part of the claim yourself, such as 50% of trip cancellation costs under FWD's add-on.
  • Cover type varies: MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex only pays inpatient hospital bills for pre-existing conditions, so outpatient visits aren't covered.

Common exclusions on pre-existing condition plans

Even with pre-existing condition cover, insurers typically won't pay claims if:

  • You've been given a terminal prognosis with a life expectancy of under 12 months (Income, FWD and MSIG)
  • You travel against your doctor's advice or to get medical treatment overseas (MSIG and Tiq)
  • The claim relates to Covid-19, which MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex doesn't cover. Check Covid-19 travel insurance options if you need it.

💡 What affects the cost of pre-existing condition travel insurance? Your premium depends mainly on the type of cover and traveller. Add-ons either charge an extra premium on base plans (at higher tiers) or in standalone plans.


Tips to Maximise Pre-Existing Condition Travel Insurance

These habits help your cover work as intended and make claims smoother:

Tip

Why it matters

Match the plan to your trip length

Most pre-existing condition covers stop at 30 to 45 days per trip, so check the cap before you book a long holiday.

Buy soon after booking

Buy cover once your flights or accommodation are confirmed, so cancellation benefits apply for the whole pre-departure period.

Get your doctor's clearance

Claims are typically rejected if you travel against medical advice, so get a medical letter confirming you're fit to fly.

Keep your medical records handy

Carry copies of your diagnosis, prescriptions and recent test results, as insurers use them to assess claims.

Save emergency contacts

Store your policy number and the insurer's 24/7 emergency hotline on your phone in case you're hospitalised overseas.

Review your plan

For example, under FWD's annual plans, a condition you claimed for on an earlier trip counts as pre-existing for later trips.


How to Apply for Pre-Existing Medical Condition Travel Insurance on MoneySmart

You can compare and apply for pre-existing condition travel insurance online through MoneySmart:

Step

Action

Details

1

Compare plans on MoneySmart

Use MoneySmart's travel insurance comparison tool to see plans with built-in or optional pre-existing condition cover. For frequent trips, compare annual plans with pre-existing condition cover.

2

Check eligibility

Confirm the plan's age limits and maximum trip length, and that your condition isn't excluded. Have your NRIC or passport details ready.

3

Apply for plan

Press "Apply Now" on your chosen plan, then fill in traveller details, destinations and travel dates. If you choose an add-on plan, select the pre-existing condition add-on for each traveller who needs it.

4

Make payment

Complete the online payment using your debit / credit card or PayNow. Most policies are issued almost instantly once your application and payment go through.

5

Receive documents

The insurer emails your policy schedule and wording. Check that your pre-existing condition cover and travel dates are correct before you fly.


How to Make Claims on Pre-Existing Condition Travel Insurance

Claim processes differ by insurer, but most follow these steps:

Step

Action

Details

1

Call the emergency hotline first

If your condition flares up overseas, seek treatment and call the insurer's 24/7 emergency hotline as soon as possible, ideally before any hospital admission or evacuation.

E.g. Tiq requires this for every pre-existing condition claim, and FWD requires medical evacuations to go through this emergency line.

2

Gather overseas medical report

Collect medical reports, itemised bills, receipts and prescriptions. For trip cancellations, keep booking confirmations and a doctor's memo.

3

Show your condition was stable before the trip

Keep your Singapore doctor's records, such as recent check-ups and prescriptions.

Insurers use them to check you met conditions like: following your doctor's advice, with no repeated A&E visits or long or repeated hospital stays for the condition in the 12 months before your trip.

4

Submit claim within deadline

Send the claim form and supporting documents through the insurer's online portal or app—usually within 30 days or so.

5

Expect a smaller payout

Pre-existing condition claims are paid within their own sub-limits, minus any co-payments. Follow-up treatment in Singapore is also usually not covered.

Disclaimer: MoneySmart helps you compare and buy travel insurance, but it does not process or decide claims. For any claim, contact the insurer named on your policy documents directly.

Having using another competitor’s platform with same credit card promotions and travel insurance… I can firmly say MoneySmart is a much better choice with top notch customer service. Their reply is fast, responsive. Not only that, if they are unsure, they give you a call with email follow up. This is what I call seamless customer experience. Moneysmart’s portal may not be perfect, I will still go to this platform. Tks!!

FAQs About Pre-Existing Condition Travel Insurance

Does travel insurance cover pre-existing conditions?

Usually not. Standard travel insurance plans exclude claims linked to conditions you had before buying the policy. To be covered, you need a dedicated pre-existing condition plan or an add-on bought before your trip. Even then, claims are capped by sub-limits that are lower than the plan's general medical limit.

What is a pre-existing medical condition for travel insurance?

It's an illness or injury you already knew about before your trip. FWD, for example, counts any condition you had symptoms of, or got medical advice, tests, treatment or prescribed drugs for, in the 12 months before your trip. Common examples include diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure.

Which travel insurance covers pre-existing conditions in Singapore?

Several insurers do. Income, MSIG and Tiq sell dedicated pre-existing condition plans, while FWD, Great Eastern, Singlife and HL Assurance offer it as an add-on. Entry-level medical limits for pre-existing conditions range from S$25,000 to S$300,000, so compare plans before you buy.

Can I get annual travel insurance with pre-existing condition cover?

Yes, from some insurers. Annual pre-existing condition cover usually limits each trip to 45 to 90 days. Some dedicated plans are restricted to single trips only (often capped at 30 days), so check your trip limit if you travel frequently. See annual plans with pre-existing condition cover.

Can seniors over 70 get travel insurance with pre-existing condition cover?

Yes. Some plans, such as MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex, have no upper age limit. However, pre-existing condition limits often drop once you turn 70, so compare the limits for your age group, not just the headline figures, before you buy.

What pre-existing conditions are not covered by travel insurance?

Even with pre-existing condition cover, many insurers won't pay claims if:

  • You have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of under 12 months
  • You travel against your doctor's advice
  • You travel to get medical treatment overseas

Some insurers require your condition to be stable and under control before you can travel.

Is pregnancy a pre-existing condition for travel insurance?

Insurers treat pregnancy under separate rules. Some plans exclude pregnancy and childbirth claims entirely, while others cover emergency treatment only if your due date is well after your trip. Singlife Travel Plus and Prestige require your expected delivery date to be more than 12 weeks after you return. For more comprehensive coverage, refer to our maternity insurance guide on how to get more pregnancy protection.
