...not just for Canadians!
NEW TO AUSTRALIA? FINDING OVERSEAS VISITOR HEALTH COVER OR STUDENT COVER PLANS ISN'T EASY BUT WORTH THINKING ABOUT.
Getting an appropriate level of health cover may be a requirement for your Australian visa. Plus, it's good to have some protection when you're living abroad.
After doing some research and speaking to a number of members in our network, we found that Bupa offered a great balance between price and benefits as well as a "healthy" variety of plans that can include the types of extras that our members wanted such as Dental, Optical, Physio, Chiro/Osteo and Natural Therapies. So we asked them for a deal and they gave us one!
Here's some of the benefits of Bupa's Overseas Health Cover:
- 100% emergency ambulance cover
- Complimentary access to an after hours home doctor service
- Member exclusive benefits through Bupa's member reward program which offers an exclusive range of discounts, health tools and information to help get more from your membership including; Special offers and discounts, access to special events and access to health tools, information and programs. For more info visit bupaplus.com.au
- Refunds a percentage of the balance on selected pharmacy items, per script item, up to a maximum of $300 per person per calendar year limit
- Quality Cover - even Bupa's most basic working and non-working covers include cover to see a doctor or specialist, for when you’re admitted to hospital, for pharmacy and ambulance service
- Bupa will allow customers on Overseas Visitors Covers to suspend their membership for a period of between one and nine months if travelling overseas
- Direct line of contact as part of Network Canada - Bupa has dedicated staff to help Network Canada members so if things ever do go wrong, at least there's some level of direct contact there to help fix it!
