Would the EH1C+ travel insurance cover my husband for atrial fibrillation - with a pace maker fitted, and type 2 diabetes controlled with medication?

He'd have to go through their medical screening to see (as would anyone with existing conditions.)

What even is EH1C+ ? Google has nothing. Are you meaning the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)?
If you are talking about EHIC then it simply gives you the same cover by the state health provider in that country that that country gives to its own citizens and it does include pre-existing conditions. Remember however that not all countries systems are as generous or wide spread as the NHS is and so something that may be free here may not be covered at all in that country.
The other consideration is that it is only the state provided treatment you get so if you are too sick to travel my normal means then you will have to stay there where as with a travel insurance policy they may provide a medivac service to get you back to the UK and you continue your treatment here.0 -
