A step-by-step guide to making a claim

STEP1

VISIT YOUR GP

Your GP will advise you if you need to see a consultant or healthcare professional for your health needs.

There are some conditions where a GP referral is not required and details of these are available from us on request. For information on these conditions please call your Bupa helpline or go to bupa.co.uk/policyinformation These details may be updated from time to time.

STEP2

ASK YOUR GP FOR A REFERRAL TO A CONSULTANT OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL FOR YOUR CONSULTATIONS OR TREATMENTS

If you need to see a consultant or healthcare professional, let your GP know that you have Bupa cover. Your GP will either refer you to a consultant or healthcare professional or suggest that you contact us if you want a choice of consultants or healthcare professionals.

STEP3

CALL YOUR BUPA HELPLINE BEFORE ARRANGING A CONSULTATION OR RECEIVING TREATMENT

Once you know the name of the consultant or healthcare professional you are going to see, please call us so we can confirm that your consultant, healthcare professional or treatment facility is Bupa recognised, that your recommended treatment is covered and which benefits you are entitled to under your Bupa membership. We will let you know what you need to do next and send you any necessary claim or pre-treatment forms you may need to complete.

To help us to make the claims process as simple and swift as possible, please have the following information close to hand when you call to make a claim:

o your Bupa membership number

o the condition you are suffering from

o details of the treatment that your GP has recommended

o date(s) on which you are to receive treatment

o the name of the consultant or other healthcare professional involved

o details of where your proposed treatment will take place

o your expected length of stay in hospital (if applicable)

STEP4

GET A PRE-AUTHORISATION NUMBER

When we have confirmed that your treatment is covered, we will discuss your claim with you and give you a ‘pre-authorisation’ number. You can then contact your consultant or healthcare professional to arrange an appointment. We recommend that you give your pre-authorisation number to the consultant or healthcare professional you see so that the invoice for any treatment costs can be sent to us directly.

Please call us to authorise any further consultations or treatment to ensure that they are covered under your Bupa membership.

If for any reason you are sent the invoice, simply send it on to: Claims Department, Bupa, Salford Quays, M50 3XL

Once we have paid the invoice on your behalf, we will send you a summary of your claim and treatment details. Please note that payment may take a few weeks depending on how quickly invoices are submitted to us.
