Full transcript
Thanks for calling Bupa's hospital claims line, this is Claire speaking from the Sydney call centre. How can I help you this afternoon?
Mahadsanid. Waxaan qabaa dhaawac ku yimid jilibkayga, waxaana rabay inaan ogaado in caymiskaygu daboolayo qaliinka, iyo in mudo sugitaan ah lagu qabanayo xaaladdayda.
Could you tell me when your hospital policy began, and whether this knee problem existed before you first joined Bupa?
Waxaan ku biiray caymiska saddex bilood ka hor. Ma micnaheedu tahay inaan qaadan doonin gunno haddii ay tahay xaalad hore u jirtay?
I see — if it turns out to be a pre-existing condition, the usual twelve-month waiting period would still apply to your claim.
Maya, ma ahan xaalad hore ii jirtay. Dhaawaca wuxuu dhacay toddobaadkii hore markaan ciyaarayay kubbadda cagta.
That's good news, then — new injuries aren't subject to that rule. Your two-month general waiting period ended last month, so surgery is covered.
Waan ku faraxsanahay. Immisa jeer oo dhaqaale caafimaad (physiotherapy) ah ayaan lahayn sannadkan, mise waxaan horeyba u isticmaalay qaar ka mid ah?
Your extras policy includes eight physiotherapy sessions each year. Let me check how many sessions you've already used since January.
Fahamsanahay. Immisa lacag dheeri ah ayaan bixin doonaa haddii aan aadaan isbitaal aan ahayn mid 'no-gap' ah?
The hospital gap depends on the provider; if you choose a no-gap hospital such as St Vincent's, you won't pay anything extra. Please upload the referral through the Bupa app.
Waad ku mahadsantahay caddaynta. Waxaan isla markiiba ku soo shubi doonaa warqadda tibaabbixinta (referral) app-ka Bupa.
