Re: Ambulance cover Wa
Weve claimed a couple of times through BUPA and never had a problem. Looks like they do stand alone cover.

Hmmm, this reminds me that I need to take out Ambulance cover. I think I had spotted that HCF were the cheapest, but completely failed to do anything about it...

Is that NSW? In Qld we don't need to have cover, and I have only researched WA specific, but perhaps I will have a look at HCF, don't remember them coming uo in a WA search.....

Yeah, NSW. They maybe don't offer cover in WA. Some of these healt fund things are local only.

I used to have it included in my Hospital cover, but I discovered that I could save far more than the cost of separate cover by removing it, so I did. Of course, I haven't actually got around to arranging it yet, so it's saving me even more, right up to the point I need an ambulance

yeah as Swerv-o said. Best one i came up with was BUPA if it was just for ambulance in WA.Bad enough trying to find that, so glad I wasn't looking for full insurance, its a nightmare!
