Health insurance, often referred to as private medical insurance, gives you access to private healthcare for conditions that are covered by your policy and which develop after your policy starts. One of the main benefits of health insurance is the speed of access to medical treatment.
More about Bupa Select
Whether it’s supporting your team’s mental and physical health, providing full cancer care as standard, or giving your team 24/7 access to a GP, we’re proud to give you nothing less than health expertise.
With Bupa, your people will be covered for acute conditions (disease, illness or injury that are likely to respond quickly to treatment) that begin after your policy starts. They’ll have access to a range of facilities depending on where they’re located and the type of treatment they need. They could be treated in a private hospital, a health centre or the private section of an NHS hospital.
There are general exclusions which aren’t covered as standard with a Select health insurance policy. For example, the long-term treatment and monitoring of chronic conditions or cosmetic surgery are not covered.
We’ll also need to know about any pre-existing conditions or symptoms your team may have. Pre-existing conditions won’t affect the cost of your policy, but they may affect what your policy will cover them for.
A full list of exclusions can be found in the Bupa Select membership guide (PDF, 1.0MB).

Access to breakthrough cancer drugs.
If you’re diagnosed with cancer, we'll support you at every stage of your journey for as long as you have Bupa health insurance.
