Our health insurance benefits
Bupa private medical insurance is designed to suit your health and wellbeing needs, and you can expect all of this and more:
See a GP without going anywhere
Most Bupa cover includes Bupa Blua Health, or another digital GP service‡. This means you can talk to a GP within 24 hours - day or night. Book a video or phone call from home, work or wherever. And if you’re happy to pay for a private prescription, you can pay to have it delivered to your door.
Come to us direct, without waiting to see a GP
If you have symptoms related to cancer, mental health or muscles, bones and joints, you can use Direct Access.‡‡ We’ll check your symptoms over the phone and give you clear advice on what to do next. We may be able to refer you to a specialist on the call.
Access to breakthrough cancer drugs
Our Full Cancer Cover††† provides access to eligible UK licenced drugs or treatment often before they’re approved by National Institute for Care and Health Excellence (NICE) and available on the NHS (as long as they are evidence-based).††
Whatever the mental health condition, we’ll be there
We believe emotional wellbeing is as important as physical health. That’s why we cover more mental health conditions than any other leading UK insurer.†
Rewards from brands you know and love
Fitness, nutrition, relaxation, getting outdoors. Whatever works for your wellbeing, we want to save you money on it.
Nurses ready to help, every hour of the day
Late at night or first thing in the morning, our Anytime HealthLine connects you to a qualified nurse when you have a health concern. Clear and simple advice from someone who cares.

†† Access to eligible breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments often before they are available on the NHS or approved by NICE as long as they are evidence-based. Applies to eligible cancer drugs and treatments covered by your policy. Bupa will not fund for genetic testing when used solely for the purpose of screening.
†††With Bupa full cancer cover, there are no limits on how long your treatment lasts or how much it costs, for as long as you have Bupa health cover. If you set a maximum benefit limit, either for each policy year or the full length of time that you’re with us, we’ll cover eligible costs until you reach your limit. 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).
‡ Customers who live on the Isle of Man, or have a Bupa Standard, Bupa Premium or Bupa Your Choice policy, do not have access to Bupa Blua Health, but can access GP24 provided by HealthHero. Some corporate schemes don't include access to Bupa Blua Health or GP24, so please check your scheme documents or give us a call.
‡‡ Direct Access telephone services are available as long as the symptoms are covered under the policy. If your cover excludes conditions you had before your policy started, we’ll ask you to provide evidence from your GP that your symptoms are not pre-existing for a period of up to two years from policy start date (or five years in the case of mental health) before we can refer you to a consultant or therapist through the Direct Access service. For rolling moratorium underwritten members we will ask for evidence each time you claim for a condition not claimed for before. Always call us first to check your eligibility.
