hi, I was diagnosed in November with PBC and autoimmune hepatitis. I am now searching for travel insurance but it’s super expensive or not covered. Has anyone got any suggestions? I live in the uk and hoping to go to Turkey.

Thanks ☺️

I might suggest contacting The PBC Foundation and asking them. I know this topic has been discussed here a few months ago. pbcfoundation.org.uk

Try Payingtoomuch.com it’s a comparison site. I have pbc & numerous other conditions & got a quote from these people which was half the price I paid last year. I always go for yearly quotes, saves time when you next want a holiday. Hope this helps

I am insured for multi trips with Avanti. They were cheaper than Staysure. I have PBC/AIH. You could also try Holidaysafe.

Thanks everyone. Got some through Avanti. So many I was trying said it was unavailable to me (even the specialised ones) which was a bit soul destroying. Thanks for your help 😊
