It's simple. Sign up with BUPA, tell them you're a PCG member (which they will check with the office), 25% of the standard fee via the group discount scheme. Details on the website, provided you've logged in and can find it* in the depths...
*We're getting it redesigned apparently, so we can find things. Can't wait!

They are also the company that the PCG discount is arranged with.

Anybody out there knows what the deal is?

Isn't there a 35% discounted PCG scheme with somebody else?
I've been meaning to do this for ages too. The WPA one looks good, if only because they aren't afraid to tell you the price on the website (£20 per month if you're 36 like me).

What's the most tax/cost efficient way of doing this?
Does it make any difference if I pay for it, out of my personal bank account, and claim as an expense, or if my company pays for it, from the business account? Is it a BIK either way?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is BUPA the best one to go with? Last year junior b0redom arrived, and I've been meaning to set up a family health insurance policy.....

http://www.wpa.org.uk/ are superb. No quibbles, no excess, 100% rating from me.
As a not for profit company with a heritage of over 100 years you can be confident that on joining WPA the fair treatment of customers is central to our culture and our customers testify to this.

In both cases the company would be liable for NIC at 12.8%
The other point to consider is that company schemes are often more expensive than a private scheme, so do the comparison before you decide which way to go.
Generally keeping it private costs less after all things are considered.
