Are you struggling to find the cover you need because of an existing medical condition?
If we can't cover your medical condition, or the premium is higher than you expected, help is still available…
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have worked with firms to create a Medical Cover Firm Directory. The directory lists all the firms that may be able to provide a policy to cover your medical conditions.
You can find this directory on the Money Helper website, or give them a call on 0800 138 7777. Open hours Mon - Fri 8am to 6pm.
