|
Bupa International has 38 years’ expertise in caring for the healthcare needs of expats and their families around the globe. Covering over 800,000 people in 190 countries, Bupa International is the largest international expatriate health insurer in the world, supplying quality individual and group medical cover to people who are in their home country or living abroad for six months or more. The company is part of the leading international health and care group, Bupa.
Expat understanding Bupa International understands that expats want peace of mind about their health while abroad - and a health insurer they can rely on to provide a high quality service and comprehensive coverage. That is why it has developed an unrivalled worldwide network of over 5,500 participating hospitals and a 24-hour helpline, open 365 days a year, which is manned by a team of experienced advisers who, between them, speak 34 languages. This is all backed up by direct settlement of bills and fast claims turnaround, with Bupa International processing over 15,000 claims a week. Bupa International is also set apart by the medical expertise it offers customers. Its emergency medical team consists of highly-trained doctors who are experts in high altitude diseases, tropical infections, patient evacuations and home transportations. They also have extensive experience of diagnosing and treating cancer, heart disorders and musculoskeletal conditions. Bupa International’s medical team are available around the clock to customers, ensuring they receive immediate and correct treatment, when the need arises. Flexibility is also Bupa International’s hallmark, with customers enjoying benefits such as primary care cover, maternity cover, home nursing, routine and emergency dentistry, as well as hospital treatment and accommodation, health checks, emergency road ambulance and cover for sports injuries. Bupa International has also just increased its cover for chronic diseases, such as diabetes and asthma, beyond diagnosis to include treatment, including drugs and consultations. As chronic conditions become more common across the globe, the benefit this move provides customers is significant from both a financial perspective and the peace of mind this extended cover provides. In 2008, we were delighted to receive the Best International Private Medical Insurance Provider award at the UK's Health Insurance Awards, for the eighth time since 1999.
