Ways to increase your private health insurance cover

Other treatment and therapies

For just a little extra on your premium a month, we can give you a health policy that covers you for complementary treatments such as physiotherapy, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment. This way your GP can refer you straight away, without having to see a specialist first. This option also qualifies you for our Back-Up service.

Dental and optical

Although our core cover includes cover towards surgical procedures to teeth and some ophthalmic procedures, you can also choose additional health care benefits that help with the cost of routine dental expenses, accidental dental injuries and optical expenses.

Psychiatric cover

You can now get private health cover for in or day–patient treatment if you're diagnosed with a psychiatric condition.

Extended hospital list

This increases the number of hospitals you have access to.

If you chose this option, the following hospitals would all be available to you as well as all the hospitals stated on our key hospital list.

• Bupa Cromwell Hospital
• Harley Street Clinic
• King Edward VII's Hospital - Sister Agnes
• Lister Hospital
• London Bridge Hospital
• London Clinic
• Portland Hospital for Women and Children
• Princess Grace Hospital
• Wellington Hospital

Protected no claim discount

For a little extra on your private health insurance premium, you can protect your no claim discount. This means that if you make a new claim, you won't drop down the no claim discount scale at renewal.

Ways to keep the cost of your private health insurance policy down

Reduced outpatient and selected benefit reduction

You can choose to reduce your out–patient cover. If you're happy to use the NHS or pay for certain out–patient treatments yourself, this options is ideal for you as it will lower your premium.

Six week option

Private health care benefits for in–patient or day-patient treatment will only be available if treatment is not available at an NHS hospital within six weeks.

You will still benefit from private health cover should your GP refer you to a specialist for out–patient tests. If subsequent eligible treatment as an out–patient is required, you will be covered for this too.

Policy excess

You can choose an excess of:

• £100
• £200
• £500
• £1,000

By choosing an excess you will lower the cost of your private health insurance premium. The higher the excess you choose, the lower your premium will be. Each member who makes a claim will have to pay this cost, but only once per policy year.

Reduced Hospital List

Enjoy the comfort of private facilities at NHS/Partnership hospitals and you could save up to 25% on your premiums.

The following hospitals are all available to you on the Reduced hospital list. This option uses mostly the private patient units of NHS Trust and Partnership hospitals.
