@Brookebelynda.. good luck with that. I've been with HCF for 15 years with second top cover and they still made me wait a year.

Yep didn't work. I don't really want to withdraw 20kfrom my super so I guess 12month wait begins now haha.

I wonder if you could just pay 12 months worth of premiums straight away and then not need the waiting period!

Unfortunately no. I even asked a friend of mine who works at Bupa what they could do for me. Nothing amazing. Pretty saddening. The government sets the waiting period so that insurance is sustainable. And I can appreciate that, but when people have been covered for 10+ years then want to get elective surgery it's not fair that you have to wait another 12 months paying an arm and a leg when I've already proven that I'm loyal to insurance.
