Our health insurance benefits
Our cover can be adapted to suit your needs, and you can expect all of this and more:
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 through 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 usually 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 our new Digital GP in partnership with 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, 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, it’s often those small niggles that can cause you worry too. 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.
†† As of September 2020, this analysis is based on an internally conducted review of the consumer, SME and Corporate health insurance markets using publicly available information from the major insurers in the UK consumer health insurance market. Combined, Bupa, AXA PPP, Aviva, Cigna and Vitality hold approximately 90-93% of the Gross Written Premium income of UK PMI providers. Refers to standard mental health cover when this is included in the selected health insurance or health trust product. We acknowledge that schemes can have bespoke benefits.

^With our full cancer cover, there are no limits on how long your treatment lasts or how much it costs. Unless you or your employer set a maximum benefit limit, either for each policy year or the full length of time that you're with us, in which case we'll cover eligible costs until you reach your limit. You must visit a hospital or health centre from our network and a consultant that we recognise and charges within our limits.
