Bupa’s award winning critical illness cover just got a whole lot better Bupa are to make a series of enhancements to their suite of critical illness products giving you even more reasons to choose Bupa Individual Protection. Their aim is to offer a simple, flexible and extensive critical illness policy to your customers.
The enhancements include:
offering a contract with reduced underlying cost where certain critical illnesses are excluded for those with cardiovascular and diabetic conditions who would previously have had cover rejected
utilising Bupa’s global presence and knowledge of 5,500 hospital and treatment centres - members may no longer have to be repatriated for confirmation of diagnosis
extending the scope of our cover by removing the age condition of 65 years for Alzheimer’s disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia extending cover to age 70 for waiver of premium and total permanent disability benefit
providing an additional partial benefit payment for low-grade prostate cancer and mastectomy in the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ alongside standard benefit payment
reducing the number of general exclusions applied to cover to one – self inflicted injury
removing the alcohol and drug misuse exclusion from cardiomyopathy and liver failure
