In order to keep the cost of your subscriptions as low as possible there are some costs and expenses your BUPA International Lifeline membership does not cover. For ease of reference, we have grouped the exclusions under headings. These headings are simply for easy reference and do not form part of the exclusion. If there are any exceptions to the general rule, these are clearly shown. There may be more than one exclusion to a particular condition or treatment, so please read this section carefully.

35. USA / Canada treatment

We do not pay for treatment you receive in the USA or Canada if you have not purchased cover for USA and Canada. If you are unsure about your cover please call our Customer Service team who will be pleased to help you.

Exception: For members who have purchased cover for treatment in the USA and Canada:

We will pay for treatment you receive in the USA or Canada but only for the treatment costs covered under the scheme and only up to the benefit limits set out in the rules and table of benefits of the scheme. Also, for treatment you receive in the USA, we will only pay if the arrangements for all such treatment are authorised by our agents in the USA.
