This is one carried over from the old forum
I recently finished a long term contract where BUPA medical insurance was provided. When I asked for a quote to continue the cover myself I was given a figure of around 3000 US, (I am an oldish fart!). The agent then told me that BUPA have an oil and gas scheme for those working offshore which could provide the same cover for under 1000. They are running the scheme through a company in Malaysia and it is a seemingly kosher.
If anyone wants to take advantage of it, let me know and I will send your details to them.
