Save 10%* on Bupa By You health insurance

With Bupa By You, you can choose the level of cover to suit your needs. 

What can Bupa health insurance offer you?
• A little something to smile about. Bupa’s dental allowance gives everyone on your cover an appointment at a Bupa Dental Care practice every policy year. It can be used for a new patient examination, a routine check-up or an emergency appointment. Plus, if you need further care, you each get a £300 allowance towards restorative treatment, such as crowns and fillings.

• Speak to a GP over the phone or on a video call. Appointments typically take place between 8am and 10pm, so whether you’re at home or at work, you can speak to someone when you need to. Life doesn’t wait, so why should you?

• Worried about your health? Our nurses are there for you, all day, every day. Just call our Anytime Healthline.

• Our cancer promise means that we’ll look after you, from diagnosis to care, for as long as you have Bupa By You health insurance with cancer cover included. **
