Useless Evacuation Part2 as so expatriation

Dear Jose Renato Terrero Saco,
Thank you for your email.
I have attached your benefit guide so you can look at all the guidelines regarding evacuation. As you will be able to see it states that we may be able to arrange evacuation from a oil rig, each case has to be looked at individually. If we were unable to take you from the oil rig we would be able to assist you from a on land site.
In cases of evacuation we need to be informed as soon as possible so we can make arrangements and pre-authorise any treatment or travel.

Getting your query resolved the first time you email us is very important to us. I hope I have fully answered your query but if you feel I haven't, please reply to this email and put "More help needed" in the subject line.

You can also get instant help via our BUPA Web chat from your Members World homepage. This new addition to our website gives you instant access, day or night, to our team of experienced advisers who will be able to chat with you in real time, online, wherever you are and whatever your needs. You can access it through http://www.BUPA-into.com/members world. You will need to register for the service, if you haven't already, so you can start enjoying the benefits Members World has to offer.

Kind regards,

Caroline Merchant | Customer Service Adviser | Customer Services | BUPA International, Russell House, Russell Mews, Brighton, East Sussex, BAN NOR, UK | Tel: +44 (0) 1273 323563: | Fax: +44 (0) 1273 820517

Useless Evacuation

Hi!

I work with oil field services, so if you can't make evacuation on rig sites the hired service is useless, that gives me the possibility to hire any other international company.
So why han't I been expatriated to the nearest country that you have affiliated hospitals capable of giving the required treatment?

Regards,
José Renato Terrero Saco.

Dear Mr Terrero Saco

Complaint reference number 13440

Thank you for your email dated 29 June 2009. I am sorry for the delay in replying.

I understand that you are unhappy that the hospital where you received out-patient

treatment has asked you to pay their accounts and for you to reclaim these costs from

us, and that we were unable to pre-authorise treatment for you.

Also you have raised concerns about the evacuation process, our membersworld

website, and a salary insurance scheme.

I will try to address each of the points in the order that you have raised them.

We do have agreements with some doctors and hospitals whereby we can settle

accounts for treatment on our members behalf, however, this is rarely available for

treatment provided on an out-patient basis.

TUTTL/BI-3091-4000-2800_

I believe my colleague Darren Robson has explained to you in a previous email that we

are unable to pre-authorise out-patient treatment and arrange direct settlement of

accounts for this type of treatment.

In addition I understand that Darren also explained that we had experienced some

difficulties with our membersworld website. These unfortunately had been caused by our

installation of a new system designed to improve the information available on the

website.

I hope you have received the claim forms sent as attachments to previous emails, and I

can assure you once we receive your fully completed claim forms, with the invoices and

receipts detailing the treatment provided, it will assessed as quickly as possible and we

will arrange for payment to be made to you.

Moving onto your query about the evacuation cover available to you as part of your plan

with us.

You have mentioned that you had an accident whilst working on an offshore rig and you

were taken to the Congo for treatment.

From the details you have given, I have concluded that you were evacuated from the

offshore rig, and transported to the Congo by arrangements made through your

employer.

Although Bupa International does provide you with evacuation cover, there are certain

situations and locations that are impossible for us to provide this service from, such as

an oil rig.

We do explain more about this in your membership guide under section 4 Assistance

cover.

I am sorry I am unable to help you with your query about salary insurance, as this is not

something we as a medical insurance provider offer. May I suggest that you speak with

your company human resources department, as this insurance may be something

offered directly by your company.

I hope I have been able to answer all of the concerns you have raised.

In line with our complaints procedure, I need to ensure you are satisfied with my

response and that the issues you raised have been resolved. I do hope that this is the

case. I would be very grateful if you could confirm this by completing the attached slip

and returning it in the pre-paid envelope enclosed.

If you feel unhappy with my response and wish to take your complaint further, please

write to the Head of Customer Relations at the above address within 8 weeks from the

date of this letter. Alternatively, you may prefer to telephone, fax or email via the

contacts detailed above, quoting your membership number and complaint reference

number. If we do not receive a reply within 8 weeks from the date of this letter we will

close the complaint.

If you remain unhappy after our final reply you may refer your complaint to the Financial

Ombudsman Service within 6 months. Their contact details are; South Quay Plaza, 183

Marsh Wall, London, E14 9SR, telephone +44 (0) 207 965 1000
