I took out BUPA healthcare through work in Feb this year. I never had cover before whether that was right or wrong. Anyway I recently damaged my knee playing soccer and the doctor reckons surgery is necessary to repair it.

My problem is there a 26 week waiting period on my policy. Am I effectively uninsured now??
 
Check the terms & conditions of your policy. The waiting period may apply to pre-existing conditions only rather than things that arise after taking the policy out.
 
Thanks Clubman, HR just confirmed that the 6 mths is waived by special arrangement :) . For claims, do I make payments first and then reclaim?
 
check that your hospital and consultant are covered with bupa - when you do go to hospital for procedure with daycase or as an overnight patient, bupa should deal directly with paying both hospital and consultant. The initial consultation you probaly will have to pay yourself.
