Our family health insurance benefits
There's no such thing as 'normal'. Some of us just need a bit of extra help sometimes.
We’re committed to helping people improve their mental health, which is why our new mental health hub has lots of information about mental health and wellbeing.
Anyone can use it, even if you don't have health insurance with us.
Talk to us if you’re worried about your children’s mental health
As a parent or carer of a young person, you’re closer to them than most. So if you pick up on a worrying change in their mood or behaviour, trust your instinct and talk to us.
Call Family Mental HealthLine^ and speak to a trained adviser and mental health nurse. They’ll listen and guide you to support, helping your family get back to balance sooner.
^Telephone support between 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday via a dedicated helpline. Calls may be recorded to maintain the quality of our Family Mental HealthLine service.
Cancer cover that’s there for your family.
So you can get back to bear hugs.
Cancer affects the whole family. That’s why, if you’re diagnosed, we’ll support you at every stage of treatment. Not only that, 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 are evidence-based.‡ ‡

If you, your partner or children ever fall ill, family health insurance gives you fast access to eligible treatments and advice that can help you get back on track quicker. Our family health insurance gives you the option to cover multiple members of your family under one discounted policy and includes access to Bupa rewards.
Our family health insurance allows you to cover multiple family members under one discounted policy. You can choose to pay for your family’s health cover either in monthly or annual instalments.
Health insurance costs vary from person to person. We calculate your policy’s cost based on several factors, including:
- The price of healthcare.
- Your age.
- Where you live.
- Your level of cover, e.g. comprehensive health insurance costs more than Treatment and Care insurance.
- The amount of excess you choose.
For an accurate quote, you can either call us on 0808 271 4873 or get a quote online.
You can only add dependants to family health insurance policies. This means that any members on your family health insurance policy cannot be anyone other than your spouse and/or your children. The members covered on your family insurance policy don’t have to all live at the same address – for example, your child could be a student at university.
If you’re not married to your partner but would like to have a joint health insurance policy together, take a look at our couples health insurance.
