Our health insurance cover options
Our private health insurance puts you in control with the choice of two products that you can adapt to suit your needs.
Comprehensive health insurance
Covers private diagnosis and treatment
This is our highest level of health insurance cover that offers private diagnosis, treatment and aftercare for all your eligible medical needs.
Treatment and care health insurance
Covers private treatment only
This cover option is for people who are happy to be diagnosed by the NHS but would like to receive treatment privately.
Our health insurance benefits
Whether it’s getting the help you need faster, or for cancer care that helps get you there, we’re proud to give you nothing less than health expertise.
We cover more mental health conditions than any other leading UK Insurer††
We’re committed to helping people improve their mental health, which is why we cover more mental health issues than any other leading UK insurer ††. We’ve also created a new mental health hub which has lots of useful information about mental health and wellbeing. Anyone can use it, even if you don't have health insurance with us.
Access to breakthrough cancer drugs.
If you’re diagnosed with cancer, we'll support you at every stage of your journey for as long as you have Bupa health insurance. You’ll also have access to eligible breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments, often before they are available on the NHS or approved by NICE (as long as they’re evidence-based‡).
See a GP within 24 hours from the comfort of your own home
Imagine if seeing a GP was as easy as checking your bank balance. Or buying a coffee. With Digital GP provided by Babylon‡‡, it is. The app gives you 24/7 access to GPs with a simple tap of your phone. Just download the app and book a live video consultation at a time to suit you – wherever you are in the UK and whatever you want to talk about.
Get the help you need faster.
We’re here to help you deal with health issues big and small, sooner rather than later. That’s why you can call us directly for advice and treatment for muscle, bone or joint problems, mental health or cancer from the moment you need it - usually without the need to see a GP first. And rest assured we have specialists who can provide advice and support whenever you need it†.
24/7 health advice. Anytime.
Health insurance isn’t just there for the big things, and it’s often those small niggles that can cause you to worry. That’s where our Anytime HealthLine comes in, with access to around-the-clock health advice from a trained nurse whenever you need it.
Healthcare that rewards you.
Our rewards programme gives you access to exclusive offers and discounts with some of the UK’s leading brands, keeping you happy as well as healthy.

†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.
