Trevor Cox was driving his wife to hospital for an emergency shoulder replacement when a phone call changed everything.
Marie Cox had fallen on a nature strip and shattered her shoulder "like a Violet Crumble" days earlier.
On the phone was their private hospital, informing them their insurer, Bupa, would not cover the surgery the next day.
They would be out of pocket $30,000 and needed to pay $16,000 up-front.
The couple described it as "cruel", having been with Bupa for 40 years, going back to its days as HBA.
