Not all health cover is the same...
Breadth of cover
If you get injured, we offer a choice of cover for complementary medicines and therapies (including acupuncture, osteopathy and homeopathy) alongside conventional medical practices such as physiotherapy, giving you access to a wider choice of treatments to suit you.
Cleanliness
We offer access to prompt, expert care in a clean and comfortable environment providing the reassurance you need to help you feel better sooner
Access to medicines
In the first six months of 2006 alone, over 32,000 members benefited from Bupa-covered cancer treatments. By undertaking rigorous evidence-based evaluation of new treatments, Bupa funds drugs for early stage breast, bowel and lung cancers, even when such drugs are not always available from the NHS or funded by some of our competitors.
Cancer cover promise
Bupa’s cancer cover promise offers members a choice of extensive cover for every stage of the condition, regardless of how long it takes to treat.

Affordable peace of mind for you and your family
Bupa EmployeeChoice and Bupa EmployeeChoice Essential private health cover schemes are now available to all British Airways employees and their families. Both schemes offer:
• peace of mind in having access to consultants and private medical treatment when needed, in a Bupa Partnership Network Hospital**
• cover for eligible diagnostic tests†, physiotherapy† and heart conditions
• all eligible out-patient consultations, treatment and therapies for cancer are fully covered
• the ability to reduce premiums further still by selecting an excess of £250
• an initial no claims discount when you join plus further discounts on subsequent years’ premiums if you don’t make a claim††
We know that heart disease and cancer are the conditions which many people worry about the most. So unlike some other 'low cost' plans, you will be pleased to know that cover is provided for eligible heart and cancer treatment in both schemes
What's the difference between the two schemes?
Bupa EmployeeChoice:
provides cover for eligible diagnostic tests, hospital in-patient and day-patient treatment, as well as cover for out-patient consultations and therapies, including up to £250 towards complementary treatments.
Bupa EmployeeChoice Essential:
is the same as Bupa EmployeeChoice except out-patient consultations and therapies are only covered if they are immediately related to and following eligible private in-patient or day-patient treatment. Complementary medicine is also excluded.

These rates are shown with a £250 excess and at entry level discount of 20% and are valid until 31.12.2008. Correct as of 01.01.2008. These costs include insurance premium tax. The no claims discount may not be combined with any other discounts for which you may be eligible.
