They kick you out when you are 70
3 years now I had the travel insurance and thankfully never had to use it. Now I got a letter, that they kick me out because I am 70 years old. What a poor policy this is!Show details
Heath conditions that are not covered
I was disappointed that there is no cover for heart conditions. Even if your condition was resolved more than 20 years prior to travel there is no avenue to provide Specialist Doctor reports to get cover. I will be going with another insurer that will cover me with a doctors advise on my next trip.Show details

I fractured my wrist whilst in America, I had numerous conversations with BUPA emergency staff. Even though they were very polite none of them could speak english well or understand me and what was occurring for me. This was continually frustrating. Very disappointed in the whole process and I had to end up paying large amounts of money because of their lack of communication with their overseas partner insurance. I did later receive an email stating that they are in the process of changing their American insurance partner. I have now made a claim and will hopefully have no issues in getting the funds back.Show details

Extremely dissatisfied. Paid a lot of money for full cover for my two daughters while overseas in Bali on a 2 week holiday. Explained situation that they were travelling with biological father I wasn't going and would they be covered for any emergency situation. Was advised yes. Turns out no, they got stranded due to volcano eruption. Needed extra support for accommodation, good and living expenses for an extra week. Was told by Bupa/cgu. Tell father to claim under his cover or they would need individual breakdown of every single receipt specif... Read moreying what meals and what % of accommodation was for 2 children. Yeah right, like a hotel in Bali is going to do that or any food restaurant for that matter. I'm out of pocket $1000 which I had to send over to support them. So they didn't have to sleep on the floor at the airport. So disgusted in the situation as a lot of Australians are. My 2 children even made the Herald Sun due to this. Never again will use your services even going to cancel Bupa private health.Hi Jodi, Sorry to hear about your poor experience. I have sent you a private message requesting your contact details, if you would like someone to call you to discuss further please respond and we will arrange that as soon as possible.

ou. It would be best to discuss this and get a copy of your letter, but I believe you may be referring to a response after completing a medical assessment before purchasing a policy for international travel. I look forward to helping you with this matter. Thanks, Sarah
