Small business health insurance for NFU members
Plan ahead with a health partner that understands small businesses. Our health insurance has evolved to meet the changing needs of your team. So they’ll get fast access to treatment and specialist support to help them get back to business as usual faster.
As a NFU member, you’ll get 25% discount on small business health insurance†
To get a quote call on 0370 845 8458^. We’ll need to confirm you’re an NFU member, so we can apply your discount.
† Discount available to NFU members covering a small business (2 - 249 employees) and is applied to the base rate of first year of cover and used to calculate renewal prices of future policy years (subject to other factors). For new small business customers purchasing directly from Bupa only. Discount not available if switching providers. T&Cs apply.
All employees can be covered even if they're not personally an NFU member. At least one employee covered under the business policy must be an NFU member.
Health insurance is often referred to as private medical insurance. It gives you and your staff access to private healthcare for conditions that:
- are covered by the policy
- and develop after the policy starts
One of the main benefits of health insurance is fast access to medical treatment, but it can also help businesses attract and retain the best people and boost productivity.
Bupa Select is our health insurance option exclusively for business customers. Choose from three different levels of cover to tailor your policy to your business and your people.

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.
Bupa health insurance covers your employees for acute conditions. This means disease, illness or injury that are likely to respond quickly to treatment. The policy covers acute conditions that begin after the policy starts. Pre-existing conditions aren’t usually covered.
Where your team have treatment will vary depending on where they live and the type of treatment they need. This could be in a private hospital, health centre or private section of an NHS hospital.
There are certain conditions and treatments which are not covered as standard within our health insurance policies. For example the long-term treatment and monitoring of chronic conditions or cosmetic surgery.
We’ll also need to know about any pre-existing conditions or symptoms you and your team may have. Pre-existing conditions won’t affect the cost of your policy. However, they may affect what the policy covers.
