Cover is also available for pregnancy complications as well as major illnesses and injuries such as organ transplant, neurological illnesses and severe trauma.

Various options are available from everyday Healthcare to fully comprehensive cover in the US, Latin America, the Caribbean and worldwide. A range of deductibles (excesses) can help customers reduce the cost.

Commenting on the move, David Maltby, managing director of BUPA Latin America said: "Many Latin Americans often travel overseas for medical treatment which is why we have designed our new products to fit with peoples’ different lifestyles and health requirements. It also makes things simpler for customers. So whether you are looking for cover for diagnosis and everyday treatment or a fully comprehensive plan with no monetary limits, there is a policy to meet your needs and those of your family," he said.

Wherever they are in the world, customers have access to BUPA's team of highly experienced multi-lingual physicians who are on hand 24 hours a day, every day, to give help and advice. They can help to arrange everything from a relatively simple day-patient procedure to an air ambulance for a major emergency. They can also provide health information about someone's condition and planned treatment and work in partnership with staff in BUPA's Miami office to help manage all aspects of a customer's claim.

All products are available from BUPA International advisers.
