How to claim<br />

This section of the guide explains<br />

how to claim on your Bupa policy.<br />

It is essential you understand this<br />

claiming process so that accessing<br />

your treatment runs smoothly and<br />

you can ensure your costs are<br />

paid in full.<br />

Step one -<br />

Visit your GP<br />

Your GP will advise you if you need<br />

to see a consultant or healthcare<br />

professional for your health needs.<br />

There are some conditions where a<br />

GP referral is not required and you<br />

can find details at bupa.co.uk/<br />

policyinformation. These details<br />

may be updated from time to time.<br />

Step two -<br />

Get referred<br />

off<br />

Your GP will give you a letter<br />

detailing the course of treatment<br />

they recommend. This is called an<br />

‘open referral letter’, and will give<br />

you access to the consultant,<br />

hospital or healthcare professional<br />

of your choice.<br />

Step three -<br />

Call us<br />

As soon as you have seen your GP,<br />

please call us so that we can<br />

discuss your options and explain<br />

which consultants and healthcare<br />

professionals are covered. We will<br />

let you know what you need to do<br />

next and send you any forms you<br />

may need to complete.<br />
