We're committed to working with hospitals and clinics to offer Bupa customers access to high quality healthcare. As part of this commitment, it's important that hospitals and clinics that provide surgical and medical services to Bupa customers have clarity about what they can expect from us. This also gives our customers certainty that Bupa recognised hospitals and clinics agree to specific and consistent quality requirements and operational standards.
To provide this certainty, and to enable your hospital or clinic to treat Bupa customers, you need a Healthcare Services Agreement (HSA) with us which will:
- confirm your hospital or clinic and services are recognised by us
- set out the contractual terms to which both parties will adhere
- enable your hospital or clinics to treat Bupa funded patients
- set out the prices that you agree to charge us for the services provided
Some procedures and services, such as cataract treatment, out-patient MRI, and CT are covered under a separate agreement. For more information please email us at: [email protected].
Benefits of recognition
Bupa recognition can help you increase the number of referrals you receive and promote your hospital or clinic. It enables you to:- promote your hospital or clinic online to Bupa customers, GPs and the public
- receive agreed fees for the services that your hospital or clinic offers Bupa customers
- receive payment of your online invoices within seven days of approval using the secure BACS system
- you 24/7 access to payment updates and help ensure quick invoice payment
- your hospital or clinic dedicated support and access to online services that will help to reduce your administration
Entry criteria
- you'll need to complete a Request for Information (RFI) form
- your hospital or clinic will need to pass a quality assessment for the services to be offered
- you'll need to be able to submit invoices online
How do I apply for recognition?
Following feedback from hospitals, we're updating our online applications to make it quicker and easier to become Bupa recognised. We're temporarily pausing new applications while we do this. Please check back in August. Thank you for your patience.
