How do I know whether the consultant or specialist my GP recommends is approved by Bupa?
When you see your GP, please make sure he/she knows that your private medical cover is being provided by Bupa and ask him/her to refer you to a Bupa-recognised practitioner. The vast majority of consultants are either Bupa partnership consultants or Bupa recognised. Please be aware that there are still some consultants who charge fees in excess of your scheme benefit limits and while they may be Bupa recognised to carry out the treatment, their fees will only be reimbursed up to your scheme benefit limit. To be sure your treatment will be covered in full, please contact us and the member services adviser will check whether your consultant will be paid in full.
