Full transcript
Thanks for calling Bupa, Mr Mwinyi. I've got your claim for the knee reconstruction at Orange Base Hospital open on my screen right now.
Asante kwa kunieleza. Nimepokea barua ikisema nitalipa dola mia saba na hamsini zaidi. Sielewi kwa nini bima haikulipa gharama zote za upasuaji wangu.
That extra amount is your policy excess of seven hundred and fifty dollars, which applies once per hospital admission.
Sikumbuki kuchagua kiwango hicho cha excess. Je, nilichagua bila kufahamu wakati nikijiunga na huduma hii ya bima?
You chose that excess level when you took out the policy, to keep your premium lower. You can raise or lower it at your next renewal.
Na kipindi cha kusubiri cha miezi kumi na miwili kwa upasuaji wa viungo, je hicho pia kilihusika katika kesi yangu?
No, that wasn't an issue — you'd already served the twelve-month waiting period for joint surgery. If you hadn't, we wouldn't have paid any benefit at all.
Nafarijika kusikia hivyo. Sasa, nitalipaje hiyo tofauti ya dola? Je, kuna njia ya kulipa kidogo kidogo badala ya mara moja?
You can pay the gap through BPAY within fourteen days, or ring the hospital's billing office to set up a payment plan instead.
Nina mpango wa kufanya upasuaji wa goti la pili mwakani. Je, nitalazimika kulipa hiyo excess tena?
Yes, it's a separate admission, so the excess applies again — but only once per person per calendar year, so you won't pay it twice.
Asante sana kwa maelezo haya, sasa nimeelewa vizuri zaidi kuhusu malipo yangu na mpango wa bima.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- excessSema 'kiasi cha ziada kinacholipwa na mwenye bima' au tumia neno 'excess' ukilielezea.
- waiting periodTumia 'kipindi cha kusubiri' kama tafsiri sahihi na inayoeleweka.
- bpaySema jina 'BPAY' kama ilivyo, ni jina la biashara linalotambulika, halina tafsiri ya Kiswahili.
