What separates the best travel insurance for pre-existing conditions?

Three plans sit within a fraction of each other on score, and the split comes down to medical limits, price and how claims get paid. Faye and Seven Corners both score 8.5. Tin Leg scores 8.2. Prices run $149, $168 and $158 respectively.

Faye's draw is the claims process: file and track in the app, and approved claims land in the Faye Wallet in days. It carries $250,000 medical and $500,000 evacuation, and it is US residents only with no annual plan.

Seven Corners holds the highest medical and evacuation limits in the ranking: $500,000 emergency medical and $1 million evacuation. It also offers CFAR at 75% and a pre-existing waiver with a 20-day window. The catch is tiering — the basic plan's limits are far lower, so check which tier you are buying.

Tin Leg pays $500,000 primary medical before your health plan, offers 75% CFAR, and backs claims with Squaremouth's Zero Complaint Guarantee. Its evacuation limit is half Seven Corners'.

What should I check before buying pre-existing condition cover?

The scoring weights tell you where the differences live: coverage 35, claims and service 25, price 20, flexibility 20. Coverage carries the most weight, so read the medical and evacuation numbers on the tier you are actually buying, not the headline plan.

  • Waiver window: Seven Corners' pre-existing waiver has a 20-day window — buy inside it or the waiver may not apply.
  • Medical limits: $250,000 on Faye, $500,000 on Seven Corners and Tin Leg. Tin Leg's is primary, so it pays before your health plan.
  • Evacuation: $500,000 on Faye and Tin Leg, $1 million on Seven Corners.
  • Flexibility: CFAR at 75% on Seven Corners and Tin Leg; Faye offers CFAR as an add-on alongside adventure sports, pet care and rental cars.
  • Claims route: app-based payout on Faye, Squaremouth mediation on Tin Leg, and a functional rather than polished app on Seven Corners.
  • Eligibility: Faye is US residents only. Faye and Tin Leg have no annual plan.

Questions about best travel insurance for pre-existing conditions

Do I need travel insurance?
For medical cover abroad, almost always: most US health plans, including Medicare, pay little or nothing outside the country, and an evacuation can cost $50,000 or more. Trip-cancellation cover is worth it when the non-refundable cost is more than you would shrug off.
What does "cancel for any reason" mean?
CFAR is an add-on that refunds typically 50–75% of the trip cost if you cancel for a reason the standard policy does not cover. It usually must be bought within 14–21 days of the first trip payment and costs about 40–50% more. It is not available in every state.
What is a pre-existing condition waiver?
Standard policies exclude conditions that were treated or changed in the 60–180 days before purchase. Buying within the insurer's window (usually 14–21 days after the first trip payment) and insuring the full trip cost waives that exclusion.
How do you rank travel insurance?
We read each plan's certificate of insurance, get a quote for the same sample trip, and check complaint ratios in NAIC data. Coverage is 35% of the score, claims and service 25%, price 20%, flexibility 20%. We are not licensed agents; verify with the insurer.
