We’re currently with AA, who decided to increase prices by almost 10% for our upcoming renewal. Cove is much cheaper and has got good reviews, mainly about their website and sign up process. However I can’t find any reviews about their claims process. In the past AA has been very good for us whenever we had a claim. Anyone got experience claiming something with Cove?

    Yep not willing to find out.

    Some cancers are excluded though like skin and prostate cancer, unless it meets certain requirements.

      Oh that’s interesting. Though I could guess why. Most skin cancers are squamous cell, they chop it out and you’re good, takes 5 mins and 99% survival rate (but if you’re in the 1% it can get really bad). NZ has high rates of melanoma and other skin cancers as well, so I’d guess there’s a seriousness threshold to meet for the simple ones but the bad ones are probably covered well.

      Prostate cancer is present in something like 50% of males over the age of 50, but most of the time it’s not an issue. The world is actually pulling back on treating it because the treatment can be worse than the disease if it’s not aggressive. So I can understand that one as well.

            Sorry!

            I just found out that Bing was wrong. Cancer Assist is a different addon, which is paying out an amount when you have a qualifying cancer, e.g. to take care of family. It’s paid out directly to you. That’s why they only cover certain cancers…
