BUPA International launches new health cover for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean21 February 2008BUPA International has launched five new health insurance plans specifically designed to meet the healthcare needs of people living in Latin America and the Caribbean who want cover for treatment at home and overseas. The policies offer a range of cover options for diagnosis, in-patient and out-patient treatment, cancer, congenital conditions, professional and hazardous sports, physiotherapy, emergency evacuation and repatriation. Cover is also available for pregnancy complications as well as major illnesses and injuries such as organ transplant, neurological illnesses and severe trauma. Various options are available from everyday healthcare to fully comprehensive cover in the US, Latin America, the Caribbean and worldwide. A range of deductibles (excesses) can help customers reduce the cost. David Maltby, managing director of BUPA Latin America said: "Many Latin Americans often travel overseas for medical treatment which is why we have designed our new products to fit with peoples' different lifestyles and health requirements. It also makes things simpler for customers. So whether you are looking for cover for diagnosis and everyday treatment or a fully comprehensive plan with no monetary limits, there is a policy to meet your needs and those of your family," he said. Wherever they are in the world, customers have access to BUPA's team of highly experienced multi-lingual physicians who are on hand 24 hours a day, every day, to give help and advice. They can help to arrange everything from a relatively simple day-patient procedure to an air ambulance for a major emergency. They can also provide health information about someone's condition and planned treatment and work in partnership with staff in BUPA's Miami office to help manage all aspects of a customer's claim. In the event of a medical emergency, worldwide air ambulance and ground emergency transportation is always available. BUPA physicians can alert any medical facility in advance about the arrival of a patient, ensure that contact is maintained during transit, monitor them while they are in the hospital and follow-up to review the quality and appropriateness of their care. They will also co-ordinate any follow-up treatment or therapy. "Our doctors specialise in specific fields of medicine such as high altitude diseases, tropical infections, patient evacuations and home transportations. They also have extensive experience of diagnosing and treating cancer, heart disorders and musculoskeletal conditions, where there is a particular need for expert advice," said Mr Maltby. The introduction of the new policies brings together BUPA's products which have been available in Latin America and the Caribbean since the company acquired Amedex and IHI danmark in 2005. "We now have a suite of five products which unifies our offering for the Latin American and Caribbean market. Our teams in Miami and Denmark will continue to provide underwriting and customer service support to our Latin American customers," he said. All products are available from BUPA International advisers. For further information visit www.bupalatinamerica.com or call our office in Miami at +1 (305) 398-7400. Back to the latest press releases
