Hi everyone,
Just wondering whether anyone has experience of this and can offer any advice.... The consultant has advised me to have a c-section for medical reasons (due to a thin area from my previous c-section scar so higher risk of rupture). So this should be covered under my private medical insurance with AXA PPP. This would mean they would pay private hospital costs and a (small) contribution towards the consultant and anaesthetist. I'm happy to pay the remainder as it will pretty much halve the cost of going privately - thinking of Penny Law at the Portland Hospital. I had a bad experience last time on the NHS with care in the post-natal ward so was quite worried about going back to my local hospital.
But AXA PPP won't even start to consider my claim until 36 weeks which is very late to book a slot at the hospital and with the consultant. Is there anything I can do to get around this - this rule is not in the policy documents?? I could obviously take the chance but we're borderline whether we can / want to pay the whole cost, but then again don't want another awful experience if we don't go this route.
I'm considering calling up AXA and just explaining that my medical reason won't change now and so asking to speak to a manager until they give me a proper answer.
