WHY CHOOSE BUPA HEALTH INSURANCE?

At Bupa, we specialise in healthcare alone

Because we're specialists, we continue to invest in innovative new services like specialist patient support teams and access to the very latest drugs not available on the NHS.

Why should you choose Bupa Health Insurance?Show all

Bupa is the world’s leading health insurance provider Hide

Bupa began in the UK in 1947 with 33,000 members, and now insures over 10 million customers in more than 190 countries. In the UK, we are the largest health insurance provider, and this goes hand in hand with our reputation - we’ve also been voted one of the top three companies in the UK for customer service, along with John Lewis and Waitrose^{^}.

Your health comes first, not our profit Hide

With no shareholders we invest our profits back into the services we offer, so that we can continue to help to improve your health and wellbeing.

We fund pioneering medical research through the Bupa Foundation and also allocate funding towards healthcare initiatives that have improved the lives of patients, whether they’re privately treated or not. Our mission is to help people live longer, healthier and happier lives and we want to be advocates, shaping modern thinking in healthcare and championing health issues.

Healthcare is, and will remain, our only focus.

We provide the most comprehensive cover Hide

Bupa is one of the only UK health insurers that offer no financial or time limits** on claims for eligible illness. We can also cover a wider range of conditions, including mental health.

**Where cancer is covered as part of your core health insurance, there are no time limits and all your eligible cancer treatment costs are paid in full, when you use a healthcare facility from your chosen Bupa network and a Bupa recognised consultant who agrees to charge within Bupa limits (a fee assured consultant).

Our Bupa Cancer Promise is just one example of our commitment to treating our members with the most comprehensive cover and support.

The Bupa Cancer Promise

At Bupa we understand the impact cancer can have on the lives of our members, and are continually developing our healthcare schemes to adapt to the advancements being made to treat and cure this disease.
Without any financial or time limits on access to cancer treatment for our Cancer Cover and Comprehensive policies, our members can be reassured that all their cancer treatment costs are paid in full when they use a consultant and hospitals in their selected network^**.
