Why Bupa health insurance makes sense
- Our Comprehensive cover is rated 5 Star by Defaqto, which means you have a comprehensive range of features and benefits
- Direct access to medical advice and treatment usually without a GP referral*.
- Support from specialist teams, helping you make informed decisions that are right for you.
- Access to breakthrough cancer drugs and treatment+.
- Depending on your medical history, you can look at joining as a new member.
*†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. Always call us first to check your eligibility.
+ Applies to eligible cancer drugs and treatments covered by your policy.
What to do next?
- If you’d like to stay with us as a personal policy holder, let us know within 3 months of your company health scheme ending, so we can backdate the start of your new policy to the date you left.
- You’ll be required to pay for your new policy from the date your old policy ended so there’s no break in cover. Please bear in mind that the cover options available will be different from your company policy.
- When applying for a personal policy we'll ask you questions about your medical history in the last five years to calculate the cost of your new quote.
- Let us know if you’re having or about to have treatment under the company health scheme so we can explain the options under your new policy.
