State NSW, Top hospital and extras. BUPA
What annoys me is the so called “preferred providers” applies to both medical and dental.
e.g If I use a “preferred dentist” then I get more rebate. The dentist I go to is a 10 minute walk, he is not a “preferred dentist” The closest “preferred dentist” is a 30min drive each way.
Same applies to hospitals, I get a bigger rebate if I go to a "preferred hospital.
Also the misleading advertising that implies that if you have top hospital cover, you will have a private room. I have had the misfortune of have regular admissions to hospital. Every time it is a fight to get a private room. The reason always given “there are no single rooms” But after a standoff the staff always find a private room.
