Loss of medical insurance
 

Does anyone have avenues, which they recommend I pursue in regards to loss of medical insurance information?

Who is good and who is not?

I have contacted so far, the Australian federation of Air Pilots and their associated fund, but basically I am after all my options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I have done some hunting around on this one before an I think you will find that untill you are with one of the majors (i.e. Virgin or Qantas or affiliates) all of your options are the AFAP. I spoke to several insurance brokers over this who were willing to put their thumb in my pie if they could. There was some talk that some small underwriting mobs from the states may have been interested. Seeing that I am an Oz GA pilot I told them what they could do with their thumb.

Heard good stories about the AFAP setup, albeit not real cheap, and you need to be a member.

Anyone else?

Had a mate who had some serious medical problems as result lost his long time flying job. Had insurance with Aon insurance via Pacific underwriting. They were very unhelpful and did all they could to stall and get out of any benefits being payed out. Said manager Ian in Sydney was a real pig. Needless to say he wouldn't recommend this company. Shop around and read the fine print...

Try Lumley life, they have a good Income protection policy that covers pilots. Whilst this is not "Loss of Licence" it is the closests thing you can get with a good benefit nowdays.

They offer up to 75% of your salary to age 65, if you can not work in your nominated ocupation. So this covers for loss of licence or just Ill health.
