Why Bupa health insurance?
Cover, care and everything in-between
Life’s smoother when your health is covered
When you join Bupa, it’s much more than caring for your physical, mental and dental health. It’s quick and convenient care for you and the family when you need it most. You can expect:
- Yearly dental check-ups
- Flexible physio
- Fast cancer diagnosis results
- Mental health and wellbeing support
- Hassle-free digital healthcare appointments
- Nurses ready to help, every hour of the day
Bupa health insurance doesn't usually cover medical conditions, including diseases, injuries or symptoms you had before the cover started. These are sometimes known as pre-existing conditions. Our health insurance is designed to cover you for any new issues that appear after your cover has started.
Less waiting, more living
Your health is connected, so we figure healthcare should be too. With Bupa health insurance you and the family get quick answers, the right treatment and less stress.
Quick cancer care
“That feeling of relief. That’s why I’m with Bupa”.
All our cover options come with the choice to include cancer cover. If you visit one of our specialist cancer centres you could get the all clear within days for breast, bowel, prostate and gynaecological cancers.
Our cancer promise
Mental health support
“I can face the crowds again. That’s why I’m with Bupa.”
We cover more mental health conditions than any other leading UK insurer†. We offer a range of support options for children, teenagers and adults and provide ongoing care for conditions including anxiety, depression and addiction.
Mental health supportWorried to relaxed with Blua digital GP
“I can get help when and where I need it. That's why I'm with Bupa.”
Save time with our digital healthcare appointments in the My Bupa app. Talk to a doctor by video or audio call, day or night, including weekends and bank holidays. You can talk to nurses, physios or mental health specialists too.
Hassle-free digital healthcare
Fast, flexible physio
“I was back at run club before I knew it. That’s why I’m with Bupa.”
Most of our health insurance options include access to muscle, bone, and joint specialists. They can recommend the best treatment option for you, without getting a GP referral first. This means you can see our musculoskeletal (MSK) specialists sooner and get the right treatment.
Relieving aches and pains£300 towards dental care every year
“I found my smile again. That’s why I’m with Bupa.”
Everyone with Bupa health insurance gets one appointment at a Bupa Dental Care practice, every year. This includes children too. Plus, you get a £300 allowance to spend towards any restorative treatment you need, like fillings and crowns.
