At Bupa, we understand when life’s non-stop, taking time out for a health issue might not feel like an option. That's why we offer fast access to our services as soon as you're with us. From diagnosis to treatment and ongoing support, we'll get you back to work and feeling like yourself again, as quickly as we can.
Why Private health Insurance?
- Access to private hospitals and consultants
- Fast access to treatment and specialist support
- A choice of when and where you receive treatment including evenings and weekends, giving you the flexibility to plan around your schedule and maintain productivity
- Access to eligible breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments often before they are available on the NHS or approved by NICE (as long as they’re evidence-based)

- 10% discount on Bupa By You*
- Family discounts - As well as the 10% ICAEW saving, members can also save 10% on a family policy§. And now, you can cover all your children, for the price of one, when you pay for your eldest child.
*Applies to eligible ICAEW members on quotes for new Bupa By You policies. Discounts will be reviewed on 12/12/2023 and any changes will then apply to renewals and new quotes taken out after that date. Quotes are valid for 14 days. Terms and conditions apply.
†Direct Access telephone services are available as long as the symptoms are covered under the policy. If your cover excludes conditions you had before your policy started, we’ll ask you to provide evidence from your GP that your symptoms are not pre-existing for a period of up to two years from policy start date (or five years in the case of mental health) before we can refer you to a consultant or therapist through the Direct Access service. For rolling moratorium underwritten members we will ask for evidence each time you claim for a condition not claimed for before. Always call us first to check your eligibility. Your out-patient allowance will be used to fund treatment after your direct telephone consultation.
^Bupa may record or monitor their calls. Lines are open from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday.
‡ Customers who live in the Isle of Man, do not have access to Bupa Blua Health, but can access GP24, provided by HealthHero.
§Families pay 10% less for a joint policy compared to the price of separate policies for each family member. Cover must include at least one adult and one or more children. Children do not have to live at the same address as the main member. This offer applies to our Bupa By You Comprehensive and Treatment and Care health insurance policies.

¶ Add more than one child under 20 years old to your policy and you'll only pay for the eldest child, no matter how many more children you add. Children aged 20 or over cannot receive free cover or count as an 'eldest child' for this offer. Cover must include at least two children aged 19 or under. You'll still receive our 10% family discount if you have free child cover. Children do not have to live at the same address as the main member. This offer may change or be unavailable when you renew.
