Make the most of your Bupa health insurance
From making a claim and checking your account to getting yourself an appointment, all the help you need is right here.
How can I make a claim?
If you need treatment and would like to make a claim, you’ll usually need to have visited your GP and received a referral. In some cases, you can submit a claim without a GP referral.
When claiming, you’ll need your Bupa membership number as well as details about your diagnosis and treatment.
Need treatment? You don’t always need a GP referral‡
If you’ve got Bupa health insurance and need help or treatment, check with Bupa before you visit a GP and we can help you get the care you need.
Getting a referral
If you have a condition that requires a GP referral, we recommend you ask for an ‘Open Referral letter’. This will detail the care your GP would like you to have, but will not be addressed to a specific consultant, hospital or healthcare professional.
The referral needs to include the type of speciality that you have been referred to.
We aim to offer a choice of two or three specialists. If the first choice consultant is unavailable, you’ll see an alternative specialist without having to return to your GP for a second referral.
