OK, I've looked at BUPA and I like it. They will take a pre-existing condition off the list after it's been cured for a year. I will probably just pay my own way on that.
That just leaves the GP. With BUPA you still see your own GP and BUPA?private care only kicks in after a referral from him. Are there any other systems? Is it worth looking for a GP that sees patients on Saturdays (private if need be), or is that a mirage?Comment

Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostNot having private health insurance in the UK is taking a big risk. IMHO it's very worth it. We use BUPA which costs about £160per month for two 45+ year olds.
BUPA was the only company that did a corporate scheme for only 2 employees.Comment

I use BUPA but fortunately that is through Mrs Gonzo's work scheme so doesn't cost me anything
If we need to see a GP though, I just bite the bullet and pay the £50 it costs to go to the BUPA doctor. It is worth the money just so that you don't have to deal with the NHS surgeries.Comment
