Hi Jan

I have uses Get Going insurance 3 times now through Martin Lewis money saving website and they have been brilliant .

They recognise PBC as primary biliary cholangitis which makes a difference!

Good luck and enjoy your holiday x

Hi I am cover quite reasonably by World First - I’ve been with them about 3 years now. They cover me for PBC, hypertension, osteopenia, cervical spondylosis - I’m fit despite these! I pay roughly £100 annual although excess is approximately £100 per condition. Any other condition excess £100 😊

If you're old enough Saga are OK ;) or try direct travel or "good to go" . I have AIH also and used all of these.

I think the PBC foundation keep a list of insurers members have used. Also somewhere on the "liver north" website is a list. I have AIH also and used all of these. Good luck it can be a miserable process answering all the questions and then getting a "computer says no"!!!
