Bupa refunds for nursing care
People who have pre-funded their long-term care with Bupa will be able to claim back some of their lump sum payment following receipt of state nursing care benefits.
The new refund option will apply once the state nursing entitlement has been determined. When this is combined with the cover available through pre-funded insurance, if the client has more funds than are needed to cover the total cost of care, Bupa will refund the difference.
