How it works

As mentioned earlier in the article, it’s time to take a look at the process of accessing private healthcare with Practice Plus Group through a Bupa health insurance policy. The step-by-step guide below takes you through it step-by-step.

Contact your health insurance provider

You’ll need to get in touch with Bupa before you can proceed to a consultation with us at Practice Plus Group. Bupa will then be able to give you an authorisation code which allows you to book an initial consultation with us.

Choose a Bupa-registered consultant

Bupa will send you a list of specialists that they’ve approved to carry out treatment for your specific issue. Choosing which Bupa registered consultant carries out your treatment is a big decision to make so remember to take your time. You may wish to do your own research around the listed consultants, making sure you choose the right one for you.

Book an initial consultation

Once you’ve chosen an approved consultant, it’s time to have a chat with our friendly patient advisors. They’ll get you booked in for an initial consultation at a time that suits you.   

Remember, your pre-surgery consultation represents a great opportunity to learn more about your specific health issue. With that in mind, you shouldn’t be reluctant to ask your consultant plenty of questions about what’s to come. Depending on your condition, further diagnostic tests may be needed to arrive at a diagnosis.

How payment works

Please ensure that you have authorised your treatment directly with Bupa. As an insured patient, you’ll need to have your authorisation code available for each step of your treatment.

Bupa will be able to advise you of any fees or excess payments you may be liable for. These may include:

• excess payments 
• cost-share agreements 
• limits on outpatient consultations 
• diagnostic tests 
• any policy restrictions that could financially affect you. 

To confirm whether you need to pay any excesses, clarify the limitations and liabilities on your policy, you’ll need to get in touch with Bupa directly.
