If medication for weight loss, such as Mounjaro or Ozempic, is prescribed to treat a diagnosed medical condition, such as obesity or type 2 diabetes, that condition must be declared when setting up your policy. If it is being used purely for cosmetic weight loss and is not linked to obesity or any other diagnosed medical condition, it does not need to be declared as a medical condition.
Steps to declare weight loss medication correctly
- If the medication is being used to treat a diagnosed medical condition, declare that condition when setting up your policy.
- If your health or medication changes before you book or travel, please let us know.
- If you are unsure whether your medication needs to be declared, please contact us before proceeding.
What you should make sure of
• Declare any diagnosed medical condition your medication has been prescribed for.
• Tell us if there are any changes to your condition or medication before you travel.
It’s important to be aware that if you do not give full and accurate information, cover could be affected and a claim may be rejected. If you are unsure what to put, please reach out to an agent and they will be more than happy to assist you with your policy.
