Bupa Private Medical Insurance in the UK is designed to complement the NHS by covering the cost of private treatment of non-emergency, acute conditions (acute meaning a disease, illness or injury that is likely to respond quickly to treatment – long term illnesses are not usually covered).

There is a £100 excess for which the employee is responsible. The £100 excess is payable per person per policy year, not per claim.
