Medical Insurance Schemes

Bupa Cromwell Hospital has arrangements with most insurers.  In most cases, bills for inpatient, day case and radiotherapy treatment can be settled directly with the insurer. However, some insurance policies do restrict the hospitals that can be used for inpatients or daycase treatment. 

 

Outpatient visits are normally unrestricted but may be subject to an annual benefit limit.

 

We recommend that all insured patients confirm their eligibility for treatment with their insurer prior to visiting the Hospital.

 

The Cromwell Breast Care Unit, Specialist Bowel Cancer Unit, MRI Unit and Critical Care facilities are all BUPA approved.
