If you've experienced diarrhoea and were discharged without receiving a confirmed diagnosis, you should normally select Gastroenteritis during CoverForYou's medical screening process, provided that:
No confirmed diagnosis was given.
You were discharged following your medical assessment.
No further investigations are required.
This is the appropriate screening option for these specific circumstances. It does not mean that a medical professional has formally diagnosed you with gastroenteritis.
If you were assessed for diarrhoea but discharged without a diagnosis or the need for further investigations, select Gastroenteritis during medical screening.
Answer any additional screening questions accurately, including those about treatment or medical attention.
If you're still undergoing investigations to establish the cause of your symptoms, different medical eligibility requirements may apply.
Do not automatically select Gastroenteritis if your doctor suspects another condition or further investigations remain outstanding.

Can I Get Travel Insurance If I'm Awaiting a Diagnosis?
If your doctor has diagnosed a specific medical condition responsible for your symptoms, declare that condition during medical screening rather than using Gastroenteritis as a general description.
If you're unsure which condition to select, contact our Medical Screening Team for guidance.
