Switching to Bupa Blua Health
Been using Babylon (new eMed)? Here’s everything you need to get started with our new digital GP service.
What’s the difference between Bupa Blua Health and the Babylon app?
As with Babylon, you can use Bupa Blua Health to book appointments, track prescriptions, and get on-the-go support with Symptom Checker. However, sign-in is simple with a Bupa digital account. And soon you will be able to move seamlessly between Bupa apps without having to enter your details again.
Created specifically for Bupa customers to deliver the best digital GP service possible, Bupa Blua Health has more new features on the way to help support your healthcare needs.
What does Blua mean?
Because we always want to give you the very best care as quickly and easily as possible, we've launched Bupa Blua – our new standard in digital healthcare.
Bringing the latest health and technology services to your fingertips, we’re helping to remove worry and hassle with customised support whenever you need it. And Bupa Blua Health is just the beginning.
Can I continue using the Babylon app?
Both apps will be available to use for a limited time until the Babylon app is closed for Bupa users. However, we recommend switching to the Bupa Blua Health app as soon as possible to make sure it’s ready for whenever you might need it.
Do I have to download an app to use Bupa Blua Health?
Yes, this is a brand-new app called Bupa Blua Health and it is available to download from the App Store for iOS users and Google Play for Android users. You need this app to access the digital GP service available as part of your Bupa cover.

Does my partner or child need to download the app to use Bupa Blua Health?
Anyone over the age of 16 who is named on your cover needs to download Bupa Blua Health and create their own Bupa digital account to access this digital GP service.
Children under the age of 16 named on your cover will be automatically added to the main member’s Bupa Blua Health app, with any appointments needing to be booked using that account.
Will my appointment history be moved over from Babylon to Bupa Blua Health?
Only appointments and any on-going care, including prescriptions and referrals, arranged via Bupa Blua Health will appear in the Bupa Blua Health app. However, you will still be able to use the Babylon app to view all previous appointment history and any linked healthcare information as needed.
Clinicians from Babylon, who remain our digital GP service partner, will have access to your records before and after the switch to Bupa Blua Health.
Can I have an appointment with a doctor I’ve seen before?
Many of the clinicians found within Babylon can also be booked using Bupa Blua Health. However, even if your previous doctor or healthcare professional is not available, all clinicians providing this digital GP service meet the high standards of Bupa care.
If I have an upcoming appointment in Babylon, should I book a new one in Bupa Blua Health?
No, please continue to use the Babylon app and attend your appointment as normal, as it’s important to receive any care you need first. Once your appointment is over, you can switch to Bupa Blua Health.
Will using Bupa Blua Health affect my premium?
No, your premium will not be affected. You’re eligible for this digital GP service through your current cover. Bupa Blua Health is simply replacing Babylon as the way for you to access it.
Does it cost anything to download the app?
No, the app is completely free to download. You’re eligible for Bupa Blua Health through your current cover so there are no additional costs for using this service.
How easy is it to book an appointment with Bupa Blua Health?
