I've been in contact with BUPA and confirmed that they will still cover me in Assen!

Is that for real? Blimey

I've been paying into BUPA for 25 years and yet when my missus needed it they said "Ah no mate, Multiple Sclerosis? That's a chronic disease we don't cover that"

Seems strange that they'll cover racing injuries, which although they also linked to "chronic racing disease" are things that are higher risk than going round Tesco of a weekend and are self-inflicted

If that's true BUPA policies are not of your making obviously, but it doesn't stop me being ****ed off with them.

Rant over, Sorry to derail your thread, hope you find your big brass balls (have you tried a pawnbroker? or even a porn broker). Good luck to you and everybody else at Assen and I don't want anybody sampling the attentions of Dutch nurses (real Dutch nurses I mean, not the ones in Amsterdam)

I'm going to assume you have the Hewlett Packard corporate plan? I'm quite surprised you're not covered mate, and very disappointed. I don't know what to say really, I'm really sorry to hear it.

They will cover me playing any sport as long as it's not professional according the the lady I called. I only checked rugby, diving, racing and a few others. They paid out for my shoulder op after injuring it playing rugby and they paid out for my broken ankle and seeing the consultant from that as well when I crashed at Brands.

I guess they cover sport and have a different policy for certain diseases. Probably because MS is a much bigger cost to them than putting me in another plaster cast and calling me a knob again ...

Sorry Jools.
