Bupa has added more than 130 own occupation definitions to its individual income protection policy including dentists, surgeons and college lecturers. These professionals will now be able to protect their income based upon their specific occupation.
Steve Casey of Bupa says, "An own occupation definition gives customers peace of mind when they come to claim and enables them to fully understand the criteria by which they will be assessed.”
