Comprehensive Sickness Insurance- UKBA Response FOI

[mcovet]

Don't know if anyone already mentioned this but there was a link Directive gave on what UKBA deem as acceptable CSI and the response is that, even with certain exceptions on what is covered, the insurance would be acceptable if it covers majority of circumstances. No clear answer but at least arguable on a case by case basis and all major providers would be acceptable.

"A comprehensive insurance policy document confirming that the applicant has private medical insurance. A proportionate approach should be taken when considering what is „comprehensive‟. For example, a policy may contain certain exemptions but if the applicant is covered by the policy for medical treatment in the majority of circumstances then this will be sufficient."

Kind of a disappointing response. They do not seem to have any guidelines for evaluating CSI!
