Has anyone used Bupa for dental insurance (via work or directly)? The reviews online are awful, so keen to hear if they're true or just unlucky

BUPA in general is pretty crap from my experience breaking an ACL, under resourced, missing skills and like all insurance companies heavily in the game of trying to minimise their work as much as possible. You’re probably better off getting a dental insurance plan direct with a clinic group.

They are pretty bad both for dental and general health insurance

Get Dentaplan for dental and AXA/Cigna for Day to Day Health or ask your MBB friends which insurance providers they use (they tend to be the best) . BCG is Cigna

Thank you for the advice. Cigna and AXA are also options for me, I'll opt for that then

We have bupa for our dental and they’re fine. I go to a good clinic, dentists are trustworthy and I can get appointments at convenient times. Can’t speak to anything other than routine procedures though.

BUPA can be decent if you use their specific dentists as it’s far less admin claiming back and their dentist practices are of a good quality (both Devonshire Square and CW). Otherwise, they’re fairly painful

Not sure what the issue is with them, I have dental with them and so far no issues. Had one emergency treatment and otherwise only regular checks and hygienist but no problem with any of that and claims were paid within a few days in my account…

I’m a certified Health Coach (my training/courses are CCE-accredited by the International Coach Federation) w/ a BS in Psychology. I got a temp to hire starting at $18/hr. It is my first professional health coach job & they did not require temps to have a coaching certification, but I have one. I’d like to know if temps could negotiate salary when given the job offer. The position is remote & I’d like $20/hr. I’ve invested in myself as a coach & plan to complete board certification by early 2023

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
