Ramsay and Bupa News

Coffs Harbour members with Bupa health insurance are being urged to ensure they are not hit with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses when accessing Baringa Private Hospital and other local Ramsay Health Care facilities in the future.

Ipswich residents who have Bupa health insurance are being urged to ensure they are not hit with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses or forced to travel further than necessary for private hospital treatment.

While health staff have been working tirelessly during the Covid pandemic to care for the community, Bupa has not made an offer that will cover the increasing wage and supply costs needed to ensure ongoing quality patient care

With less than two months until the contract between Ramsay Health Care and Bupa ends, Bupa-insured patients need to review their options if they want to avoid paying increased gaps at Ramsay hospitals in the future.
