Leaving your company scheme?
Call us today on 0808 231 2974^ to discuss your options
Want to keep your cover with us after you leave your current employer?
The good news is you have the option to stay with us on a new, personal policy. Even better, while your cover will be different, we may continue to cover any ongoing or existing conditions if you take out your new policy within three months of your company health insurance ending. This depends on your new policy’s benefits and limitations. Just give us a call and we’ll explain how it works.
Step 1.
Speak to us within 3 months of your scheme ending.
That way we can backdate the start of your new policy to the date you left.
Call us on 01134950976^
Step 2.
Answer questions about your medical history.
We’ll ask you questions about your medical history in the last five years to calculate the cost of your new quote.
Step 3.
Pay for your new policy.
You’ll need to pay for your new policy from the date your old policy ended so there’s no break in cover.
Why Bupa health insurance makes sense
Our cover has different options, but in general 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 at every stage of 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 two 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, 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.
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.
