Bupa's cancer promise
If you or your employees are diagnosed with cancer, we will be there for you throughout your treatment.
| We promise to give you | Which means |
|---|---|
| Access to proven breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments, many of which are not widely available | You will have access to proven drugs and treatment before they are available on the NHS or approved by NICE1 |
| Cover for your cancer - even if it spreads | Bupa covers you for cancer if it spreads or returns. Some insurers only pay for primary cancers |
| We will provide cover and support at every stage of your cancer, including palliative treatment, even if your cancer is incurable | You have the reassurance that Bupa will be there, supporting you and your family |
| Help and advice from our specialist Oncology Support Team throughout your cancer treatment | Support from someone on the other end of the phone through any difficult decisions, who treats you as an individual and understands your situation |
| The option to receive your chemotherapy at home (where your consultant feels this is clinically appropriate), providing access to treatment delivered by a specialist nurse in the comfort of your own home | You don’t need to worry about getting yourself to hospital and being treated in unfamiliar surroundings2 |
| Fast decisions from our experts on requests to fund new cancer drugs or treatments |
If a decision on a new drug or treatment is required, you can feel safe in the knowledge that we'll make a quick decision, giving you fast access to the treatment you need. We understand getting timely treatment for cancer is key in optimising recovery |
| Treatment provided through our unique network of recognised breast, bowel and gynaecological cancer centres | You'll be treated in a specialist unit which according to research can greatly improve outcomes3 |
| All your cancer treatment costs are paid in full when you use a fee assured consultant and hospitals in your selected network | Full refunds and no shortfalls4 |
|
We have an extensive range of information available on our website, including our cancer health hub, to help you – and your friends and family - understand how and why cancer develops and the wide range of treatments available |
You can feel better informed and empowered about the treatments available to you |
