For some reason my monthly automatic deductions for health insurance stopped
(yesterday)
I discussed with them & they are unsure why.
SAAS - only cover once per year & don't cover interstate according to
correspondence last week
BUPA - only cover 1 trip per year & need to clarify with interstate up to a
total for $5000 (not emergency) & unlimited if emergency. If travelling
advised re travel insurance.
BUPA now has separate policy for $90.05 (no disability discount) not sure
about other insurance companies.
My concern is that people may not be aware of the changes & that as we age
there are increased risks especially vision
impairment.
Can I suggest that members check as to find oneself not covered is very
costly.
