Travel insurance is designed to provide you with cover in unexpected circumstances, which is why cover for pre-existing conditions is a contentious issue. However, Kogan Travel Insurance includes cover for 43 pre-existing medical conditions, provided that you have not been hospitalised within the last 24 months.
Conditions covered include asthma, cataracts and osteoporosis. Other more serious conditions such as both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol are also covered, albeit with several caveats. Please read the product disclosure statement (PDS) for the full details.

Do you cover US Citizens? I will be traveling to Bali for 1 week then Australia for remainder of 3 month period. Can you provide medical dental hospital coverage in both countries for this trip?
Hi Yvonne,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Kogan Travel Insurance includes cover for overseas hospital, medical, surgical, nursing, ambulance and emergency dental expenses. A non-Australian citizen like a US citizen can be covered by Kogan Insurance if he has a home in Australia and holds a current Australian 457 Visa which will remain valid beyond the period of the trip. Also, the traveller must be not older than 74 years old at the time of purchasing the policy. Lastly, the trip commences and ends in Australia, therefore the traveller must have a return ticket to Australia.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
