Pre-existing Medical Conditions

The TBIB Members Travel Insurance Policy has been developed to uniquely serve leisure travellers of all ages.  The TBIB Travel Insurance Policy provides for Members to obtain coverage relating to their pre-existing medical conditions. The definition of ‘pre-existing medical conditions’ as it applies to the Policy is explained in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), and we have summarised this below.

The TBIB Travel Insurance Policy PDS states that a Pre-existing Medical Condition means a medical or dental condition of which you were aware:

  1. Prior to the time of the policy being issued:
    • you have not yet sought a medical opinion regarding the cause; or
    • are currently under investigation to define a diagnosis; or
    • are awaiting specialist opinion, OR,
  2. Prior to the time of the policy being issued that involves:
    • surgery involving any joints, the back, spine, brain or abdomen requiring at least an overnight stay in hospital
