It is important to be treated in a setting that suits you, but if you opt to have treatment with the NHS then Bupa can still be of help. We can offer cash payments to members requiring certain specific eligible procedures in place of private treatment when it’s carried out free under the NHS.
Those areas we can offer this benefit under are:- Cancer
- Cardiac
- Eye care
Musculoskeletal conditions
The payments are offered across a range of procedures in these areas, and can help assist members while they are unwell or in hospital. Once paid directly to you as the main member, the money is yours to use in any way you like.
We recommend that you discuss your options with your consultant. It is entirely your choice whether or not you choose to receive a procedure specific cash benefit or receive private treatment. There is no obligation for you to have future treatment within the NHS. You are free to revert back to private treatment if you wish to do so. The procedure specific cash benefits offered may be changed from time to time.
If you need treatment for a muscle, bone or joint condition, simply call us and we will arrange a telephone consultation with a senior physiotherapist. They will assess your symptoms and recommend the most suitable course of treatment for you. Our dedicated teams can provide self-management advice and tailored exercises, or refer you to an appropriate specialist for face-to-face diagnosis or eligible treatment.
Our teams will help to direct you to the care that's right for you, where you will have access to the appropriate therapies and can make use of our quality and fee assured networks. Any treatment or care after the assessment will be subject to terms of your policy. Dependant on your underwriting terms, you may be required to see your GP for a medical report, so please contact us to ask about your eligibility†.

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.
