Healthcare - Private Medical Insurance

In association with BUPA

If you are diagnosed with an illness, what happens to your business?

If you are diagnosed with a medical condition which is either very distressing or disabling, what would happen to your business or your job?

You receive an appointment for treatment at a hospital, the appointment takes place during your busiest time of the year – do you take the appointment or cancel and go back to the end of the queue?

These questions can apply to both self-employed and employed people, and will often present a dilemma on what course of action to take. However, there is a simple answer.

The Chamber has negotiated up to 50% discount on private medical insurance premiums through  BUPA.

The benefits of the private medical insurance scheme can include treatment at most hospitals in the UK, including all hospitals in the Midlands, and full outpatient cover. The scheme is open to all Chamber members, their staff and their families.

One of the major advantages of the Chamber scheme is the ability to keep the discount for life, providing membership of the Chamber is maintained. This could amount to a saving of several thousand pounds a year in later life.

What happens if you already have medical insurance cover and you want to ensure any existing conditions can still be treated through the Chamber medical insurance scheme? Once again, the answer is simple BUPA can arrange a transfer to its own scheme under no worse conditions. This means that any existing problems which are not excluded by your current insurer and  provided they are normally covered by  BUPA, would still be eligible for treatment.
