BUPA/QUINN Health Cover

I hope I've the right forum. Does anyone out there know if the essential plus scheme with Bupa covers prosthetics? I've read over the website but is still remains a little unclear to me. Any clarification would help. Apologies. That should be Quinn Healthcare and not Bupa.

Thanks for that broker2008. So am I right in saying that they only cover €750 annually?

Well you would think so but if you look at http://www.quinn-healthcare.com/products/essentialplus.htm#UKhospitals it says that there is no excess payable on breast prosthesis which seems to contradict the previous link. You should call them for clarification and just be aware that they can and do change their t&c's on their plans and not always to the customer's advantage.
