Health Insurance
I am turning 31 this year and am looking for a good private health insurance provider. My mother was diagnosed with and died of breast cancer at roughly the age I am now, so naturally breast cancer i...
Hi, I guess the important thing is to ask to have a policy that provides the best coverage for all the sorts of costs one has with breast cancer including CT scans, MRIs ultrasounds, mammograms, heart scans, blood tests various, surgical, medical and extras costs including wigs, prostheses, reconstruction, etc.
The reason I had a fight to get payment for a wig (although I had been twice assured by Bupa staff that I was covered for this) was that our policy was changed when MBF became Bupa, and I did not read the small print to ensure we still had top-of-the-range hospital, medical and extras cover. They have other policies that do.
Good on you for thinking ahead, hope you don't need to use it but better safe than sorry
best wishes
