I'm currently deciding between getting private health insurance with my company through BUPA or going with my partner's company and using their health insurance with Axa.
Last week I spoke to a doctor about a swallowing issue (excessive swallowing that could be globas or acid reflux). I asked for a letter of recommendation to see a ENT specialist. However, I realised my private healthcare was not set up before asking for the referral from my doctor.
I am setting private health insurance up this week but now concerned it will not cover a ENT appointment as I already have a letter from my GP.
My actual intent for seeing an ENT specialist was not for the swallowing but to have my throat assessed for cancer, which I am worried it might be.
Is there any way around this or have I blown my chance of having this funded?
