Our health insurance benefits

From fast GP access to flexible cover options, we're there for you.

Health insurance, or private medical insurance, gives you access to private healthcare. It covers all, or some, treatment costs for:

  • conditions covered by your policy
  • conditions that start after your policy begins

You pay an annual or monthly subscription for your insurance. You'll then have quick access to medical treatment.

We'll cover you for acute conditions after your policy starts. This covers disease, injury or illness that will likely respond quickly to treatment. Pre-existing conditions may not be covered.

Where we treat you may depend on the type of treatment you need and where you live. You may be treated in a private hospital, health centre or private section of an NHS hospital. This will all depend on if your treatment is eligible, is fee assured and there's a hospital within your chosen network.

Some things aren’t covered as standard in our health insurance policies. For example, most policies don't cover emergency treatment, maternity care or pre-existing conditions.

When you take out a policy, we may need to know about any pre-existing conditions or symptoms you have. This depends on the type of underwriting you choose.

There are two types of underwriting, full medical underwriting and rolling moratorium underwriting. Full medical underwriting means you’ll let us know about any pre-existing conditions or symptoms you already have. You’ll then know what you will and won’t be covered for. Rolling moratorium underwriting means you won’t give us your medical history. Instead, you’ll complete a pre-treatment form each time you need to make a claim. This is so we can confirm if the condition is new or is pre-existing.

More information about exclusions can be found in the Bupa By You Policy Guide (PDF, 0.5MB), Consumer Moratorium Underwriting Addendum (PDF, 1MB).

We offer two different types of health insurance cover to give you more choice. You can choose from either:

  • Comprehensive cover - includes both private diagnosis and treatment
  • Treatment and Care cover - offers private treatment following a private self-paid or NHS diagnosis

To find out which cover is best for you, you can compare health insurance.

Why call us?

When you speak to us over the phone, we offer much more than just setting up a policy.
