Information about Coronavirus
To help answer your questions, here is our latest information on how Coronavirus (COVID-19) affects your health and travel insurance
Important information about the current health situation and the impact on private health insurance
In recent weeks, private hospitals have been prioritising resources for Covid-19 patients and the vulnerable. Because of this, many diagnostic services and non-urgent operations have been unavailable. As the coronavirus emergency eases, some private healthcare facilities are now accepting private patients again, although there will be some regional differences and people may have to travel further than normal.
Where treatment still isn’t available, our new Clinical Support Centre can arrange remote video or phone appointments with healthcare professionals. Or we can pre-authorise eligible treatment so members are ready to go as soon as it does become available.
