Leading the way in cancer cover

Flexible options - providing you with a choice of cover and costs Hide

At Bupa we understand you want to make informed decisions about the cover you provide for your employees. Our cancer cover options give you the flexibility to do just that. You can also be assured that whichever option you choose, Bupa only champions the best possible patient journey. This means that once your employees are on a particular treatment path, be it NHS or private, they will never be left without Bupa support.

Bupa offers three simple cancer cover options which you will find adjacent. Your Bupa Account Manager will be happy to give you more information or further guidance on the right decision for you and your company.

Option 1 Hide

Full Cancer Cover◊

Option 1 offers you and your employees our highest level of cancer cover. Our most comprehensive option covers employees at all stages of cancer treatment even if the cancer spreads or returns, and even if palliative treatment is required. Full Cancer Cover members have access to Bupa’s unique network of specialist cancer centres (breast, bowel and gynaecological), which guarantees treatment by an expert cancer team.

It is our priority to ensure that each and every member is able to follow the treatment path recommended by their consultant, so Option 1 covers treatment in both NHS and private hospitals. It also provides access to help and advice from our specialist Oncology Support Team.

Option 2 Hide

NHS Cancer Cover Plus

This is a cost-effective option which allows you to keep subscriptions down, while ensuring you and your employees have access to the cancer treatment recommended.

NHS Cancer Cover Plus covers you and your employees for all tests and consultations up to a diagnosis of cancer. Following that, if the treatment recommended by the consultant can be provided on the NHS, the patient will continue their treatment under NHS care, with additional telephone support from the Bupa Oncology Support Team. If the NHS is unable to provide the treatment recommended by the patient’s consultant, the patient’s cancer can be treated privately.

Option 3 Hide

Exclude Cancer

Bupa will cover up to the diagnosis of cancer but then provide no further financial benefit. However, members will still have access to support and advice from the Bupa Oncology Support Team.
