Our business health insurance is here for your team
We’ve got the most extensive mental health cover on the market‡
Mental health is just as important as physical health for all-round performance. Our health insurance gives your employees access to the most comprehensive mental health cover in the market‡, including addictions†. So we’ve got your team covered from top to toe.
‡As of September 2023, this comparison to other products in the market is based on Bupa’s and Defaqto’s interpretation of the differences between Bupa’s SME Select health insurance and other health insurance products offering mental health cover. The comparison excludes any special offers or promotions which may temporarily alter the cover offered. Cover comparison information is for personal use and guidance only and does not constitute any contractual representation, warranty or obligation by either Bupa or Defaqto about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability of the comparison. Neither party accepts any liability for errors, omissions, direct or consequential loss in relation to this comparison.

†To support addictions we fund one addiction treatment programme per membership lifetime.
Faster help with the things that matter.
We understand having symptoms of conditions such as cancer, mental health and muscle, bone and joint conditions can be stressful and time consuming for your employees. Which is why we want them to speak to us first, usually without the need to see a GP††. This improves speed of diagnosis to minimise worry and absence.
Our cancer promise is here for your people.
We know each team member is vital to your business and your success. So it’s reassuring to know our small business health insurance comes with a cancer promise that delivers more for you and your team should the worst happen. With no time limits on treatment and all eligible cancer drugs paid in full, ‡‡plus access to our oncology support team, we’re there every step of the way.
24/7 online GP appointments and expert health advice
Taking time out of work to see a doctor can be stressful. But your cover includes Bupa Blua Health, our digital GP service that lets you talk to a doctor within hours, day or night, from anywhere.††† In addition, our Anytime HealthLine advisers are also always on call.
With Bupa, seeking health advice and referral is quick and easy – 24/7, 365.
We’re here to provide guidance.
Busy businesses often don’t have enough time to provide health guidance, which is why we provide practical and useful health resources specifically designed for small businesses and their people. This includes a wellbeing hub, toolkits and the latest info and advice to keep your team in the very best physical and mental condition.

‡‡With Bupa cancer cover there are no time limits. All eligible treatment costs and evidence-based breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments that your scheme covers are paid in full for as long as you have Bupa health cover. You must use a hospital or health centre from the Bupa network and a consultant that we recognise and charges within Bupa rates (a fee-assured consultant). Please check your certificate or guide to see which specific list of advanced therapies your employer has selected as it may not cover all advanced therapies.
