AIBU to think awaiting test results for one person should not void family travel insurance

I have a premium level of travel insurance cover for me and my family, with all pre existing conditions declared. However, I am due a X-ray linked to one of these declared conditions and have been told that until I get the results, the entire travel insurance for me AND my family is void.

The catch is I go on holiday 2 days after the X-ray, so won’t have the results before I go for a week in Europe.

AIBU to think a lot of people might get caught out with this loophole, that whilst having or awaiting for an X-ray or test, and then results, for ANY medical treatment, regardless if it’s a pre declared condition, makes annual trip cover void until the results are received, and makes it void for everyone on the policy, not just the person awaiting tests or results?

I think you can pay extra to cover you for that condition should it turn out to be bad but they won’t cover anything related to that condition. The voiding for the whole family is not normal in my experience

Presumably if one of the family is taken ill or needs some treatment there is a high chance that the rest of the family won't piss off on holiday without them. Or if already away, will want to come home too. Seems reasonable to me.
