I used to change my private health insurance every 3-6 months to get the 6 weeks free or XXX amount of GC.
But has anyone else noticed that most of the health fund now has a 12 month exclusion period for the promotion to be given out again?
Left Bupa 6 months ago and was told not eligible to get the 6 weeks free because had a promotion in the past 12 months.
I guess the good old days are gone now :(

I think the OP may have meant 12m waiting period?
I believe only extras has waiting periods, to stop people signing up and using all the extra stuff all at once and cancel straight away. So it’s always 6 weeks, or else who wants wait 12m for a dental check up.
That is incorrect. Hospital also has waiting periods.
no thats only for stuff not included, say if you are covered for cancer and lung and chest on all plans, then that remains, eg I jusr went up a level, and a couple of new items are covered I have to wait for. Also its only preexisting conditions that have a 12 month wait.

Do you mean as a new customer or waiting period?
Sorry, I mean that I was excluded from the promotion……
I always thought that was the case that they had waiting periods
the waiting periods carry over if you are previously covered, shouldnt be putting misinformation out there
If you move every 6 months don’t you just need to move between three funds to ensure you haven’t been a customer in the last 12m?
Is that what the “exclusion period” means?
