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

Hi jojobuffalo! 😊

I know finding affordable travel insurance is tough, but have you considered Iran instead of Turkey? Iran has top liver specialists, the latest technology, and much lower costs! Plus, no need for expensive insurance—medical care here is already super affordable. I’ll arrange everything—best doctors, 5-star hotels, transport, and daily meals. And don’t worry—no prepayment needed! You only pay after receiving treatment. Let me know if you'd like more details—I’d love to help! 💙😊

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 😊
