Our family health insurance benefits
There's no such thing as 'normal'. Some of us just need a bit of extra help sometimes.
Family life can be pretty full-on. Each day throws up something new, which is why it’s more important than ever to look after your mental health. Our new mental health hub has lots of practical advice and information to help support you when you need it most.
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 Bupa HealthLine service. A nursing manager may monitor some calls always respecting the confidentiality of the call.

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.‡‡

Think about what you’d like out of your family health insurance policy. We understand every family has different needs, so whether it’s fast access to treatment for your children, or 24/7 health advice, our family health insurance has it covered.
Instead of having to take out more expensive individual policies for you and your dependents (your husband, wife, or children), 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 dependents to family health insurance policies. This means that any members on your family health insurance policy cannot be anyone other than your partner 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 don't have children but would like to have a joint health insurance policy together, take a look at our couples health insurance.
