Question - Visitor Medical cover


zamunda

Recommended Posts

My mum is planning on visiting us sometime this year. She is an asthmatic. The BUPA visitor cover will treat her Asthma as a pre-existing and require a 12 month waiting period. This applies even if she is hospitalised. Which is crazy because she is only going to be here for three months. 

 

Anyone know a way around this?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

What about getting a travel insurance policy from South Africa? You know the type we all get for a trip to say London where you buy and pay in RSA and it covers you overseas...

We used to just ask our South African medical aid for a certificate to state that we are covered.  Discovery Health covers you for 90 days from the date of departure.
