Support with cancer.
Every step of the way.
Cancer can be a major worry, especially if you’re planning a life together. That’s why if you or your partner is diagnosed with cancer, you can rest assured that you’ll both have support at every stage of your treatment for as long as you have Bupa health insurance.

Providing you and your partner both live at the same address, you can be covered under a joint couple health insurance policy.
Bupa’s couple health insurance gives a 5% saving in the first year, when compared to the combined price of two individual policies.
The cost of couple health insurance varies depending on several factors, including where you live, your ages, your health and how much excess you choose to pay.
