Case study
At age 42, Greg discovered he had high blood pressure during a routine health check. His GP sent him to a cardiologist for tests and Greg started taking daily medication. He also made some lifestyle adjustments.
But eight months later Greg started to experience angina pains in his chest. His cardiologist sent him for an angiogram (a test that shows blood flow through the heart arteries), which revealed that his best hope for a longer life was coronary bypass surgery.
Over a period of 12 months, Greg’s specialist and surgery bills totalled more than $60,000.
Fortunately, he had AIA Superior Health Cover which covered the full cost of his medical bills, less a $500 excess.
