If I am suffering from gastritis do I have to mention it to take travel insurance? I was prescribed omeprazole few weeks back and I'm still taking it occasionally. Is it mandatory that I mention it I or do I just leave? Im going to Australia for a month.

You should! Insurance companies look for every singular reason to decline a claim. Even the tiniest concealment could be considered as fraud and go against you.

Our unlicensed insurance expert fails again.

Travel insurance is mostly accidental coverage, in which case your medical condition is not likely to be covered. If you are purchasing a form of health insurance, then, yes, you probably need to disclose your current health condition(s).

Concealment, in an of itself, is not "fraud." But it is sufficient to void a policy or deny coverage.
