Stan Gaskin Limited offers exclusive BUPA access - 2007-05-01



On the 1st May, BUPA introduced 3 new private medical insurance (PMI) contracts, exclusively available via a select group of IFAs. We are pleased to say that due to the quality of our relationship with BUPA, we were selected to be part of this scheme.

One of the attractive features of these new contracts is the new method of taking out the insurance. Rather than having to complete a full medical proposal form (declaring detailed medical history information, these contracts now enable you to take out the cover on a moratorium basis. This means that for the first two years you are not covered for any condition or treatment that you had in the previous 5 years, however if at the end of the two year moratorium period you have had no further treatment for that condition, then you are fully covered. This can be a very effective way of obtaining cover for those persons who may have had a medical condition in the past, who previously may have struggled to obtain insurance.

Furthermore, BUPA’s stance on Cancer treatment is they will pay for whichever licensed drug is required from beginning to end, with the end being end of treatment or end of life. This is far superior than compared to some insurers who only pay for Cancer treatment for a limited period of time (e.g. one year). Should you wish to consider taking out a PMI policy and wish to discuss the benefits that it can bring, the various options available to you, and the cost of these plans, please click here to contact us.
