How we support family health
More than just-in-case family health cover. We're there for your family's everyday health and wellbeing too.
Cover that puts family healthcare first
Cover all your kids for the price of one
When you add more than one child under 20 years old to your policy, you'll only pay for the oldest. It doesn't matter how many more children you add.
What's more, a family policy costs 10% less compared to the price of separate policies for each person. For full details, see our terms and conditions (PDF, 0.04MB).
Stay with your child in hospital
When your child is at their most vulnerable, you need to be there. Our cover includes accommodation for a parent if your child needs to stay in hospital.
This applies to children who are under 18 years old and are having treatment that s covered by the policy.
Real confidence is knowing your health inside-out.
That’s why new members who buy Bupa By You health insurance before 30 September 2025 will get a free mini health check to use in their first year worth £100† for them and their covered partners. We’ll look at your:
- Lipid profile
We’ll look at the different levels of fats in your blood, which can help assess your risk for cardiovascular disease. - Diabetes HbA1c levels
We'll look at the amount of sugar in your blood and determine your risk for Type 2 Diabetes. - Kidney, liver and thyroid function tests
We’ll take a closer look to see how these organs are performing.
If your test discovers anything that might need a closer look, you’ll also get 15-minutes to talk through your results with a Bupa clinician.
If you have any questions, check our commonly asked questions (PDF, 0.9MB).
† The mini health check has been valued at £100 to cover: blood test kit, clinician time, lipid, HbA1c, liver, kidney and thyroid profiles. It is not a product you can purchase outside of this offer.
