23.01.2022 For our patients with BUPA, please consider possible alternatives as your cover may soon be changed. Consider some of the members owned funds who arent required to pay shareholders dividends. BUPA seems to be trying to move Australia towards a US-style managed care. BUPA is not the only one, but they are particularly not friendly to independent healthcare providers. "The AMA has forced an investigation into Bupa, after the private health insurer reworked its medical gap scheme and told its Australian customers their cover for a range of procedures will change from a minimal benefit to total exclusion. AMA President Dr Michael Gannon described the announcement as a big leap towards US-style managed care and he demanded a please explain." March, 2018
