Will I be covered when receiving dialysis treatment while abroad?

You can obtain cover for trips if you require dialysis treatment while abroad providing the following conditions are met:

  • The treatment is deemed necessary by a medical practitioner as routine treatment of your condition while on holiday.
  • Your condition has been diagnosed, declared and covered on the Policy.
  • You are not going abroad solely for the purpose of receiving dialysis or a form of dialysis unavailable in the Republic of Ireland.
  • You have been declared fit to travel by your general practitioner or specialist medical professional.
  • You must ensure that the facilities available in the area you are travelling of a high enough standard to safely provide dialysis treatment. You can do this by contacting a holiday dialysis co-ordinator at the Irish Kidney Association on (+353) 01 620 5306.

You can not claim for the cost of any complications that arise as a result of pre-booked dialysis treatment.
