Title: Health insurance in Australia
Post by: Jessica_M on May 16, 2015, 07:31:27 AM
Hi girls,

I just wanted to ask if you'd hadany problems with private health insurers after transitioning. I'm currently with Bupa on top table cover and it has come in handy a couple of times for hospital visits and also helps for the regular stuff. Just wondering if anyone has had their cover cancelled or have been refused

I'm with HCF, haven't really needed to use it since I transitioned so not aware of any problems.

Ok great, I guess if anything it's be discrimination if they wouldn't, but I'm keen to make an annonymous call to them to ask
