your intermediary on your behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, consent to payment of your intermediary’s fees does not affect the amount of any premiums

intermediary until otherwise notified by you in writing.

security that you’ll be covered for treatment you may receive as an in-patient or as a
daycare patient.

treatment or diagnosis. You will be covered for in-patient hospital stays as well as
out-patient consultations, treatment such as physiotherapy and a range of preventive
health checks.

Our top level gives you cover for both in-patient and out-patient care. In addition,
Gold also covers family doctor treatment and any prescription medication you may
need, as well as accident related dental treatment. Maternity cover, home nursing and
a range of four preventive health checks are also included in this comprehensive plan.

USA COVER:

We understand that many people do not need medical insurance for the USA, so
you can choose whether you want to include it. Unfortunately, we cannot offer Bupa
Global Lifeline to anyone who is normally resident in the USA. This cover will increase
your premium.
