It used to be just a loyalty benefit on Ultracare too, so you had to have had x number of years continuous cover on that plan, but it looks like they've scrapped that now and made it a general benefit. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Niice! I got $1000 per claims year with the gremlins, and coz my pregnancy crossed over my policy renewal date I was able to claim it once in each claims year for the same pregnancy so it covered the total cost of my OB. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
