Can anyone recommend private health insurance that DOES include Vasculitis...,the ones I have spoken to have said no as it’s a chronic condition?

Help appreciated....,

It's my understanding that no private insurance will cover a chronic disease unless you develop it whilst already insured.

Thanks for that ..., well I did develop it whilst being insured with them but now they seem to keep changing their minds!

Insurance has gone up so much was trying to find a more reasonable one!

Private health insurers don't seem interested in covering patients for long term, chronic, expensive disease unfortunately.

They covered me at first, then no except during a flare, then it’s considered urgent or acute. I use the NHS now, much better, but I’m in London so perhaps that’s why?

Not what you're looking for?
