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, cancer or cataracts 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, and it’s often those small niggles that can cause you to worry. That’s where our Anytime HealthLine comes in, with access to around-the-clock health advice from a trained nurse whenever you need it.
Support with cancer.
Every step of the way.
If you’re diagnosed with cancer, you can rest assured that you’ll have support at every stage of your treatment for as long as you have Bupa health insurance.

† 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.
