One of the main benefits of Saga Health Insurance is choosing where you're treated, from a range of private hospitals.

Having private health insurance means that if you develop a problem with your health, you’ll be able to get a prompt diagnosis and receive treatment quickly. Following a GP referral, where necessary, using your private medical insurance to access tests or scans can help you get results more quickly.
Depending on your plan, you’ll be able to have eligible treatment as an out-patient, day-patient and in-patient, at a time and place of your choosing. Health insurance gives you freedom and flexibility.
If you do need a hospital stay, you’ll usually have a private room with all the mod-cons so you can rest up and get better in comfort. There are usually more flexible visiting hours and free car parking so your friends and family can generally visit any time.
We know that being diagnosed with cancer can lead to some very difficult times. That's why we want to take away as much of the stress and worry as we can. With a Saga HealthPlan you have access to our team of experienced and dedicated healthcare professionals, who will support you and your family through the challenges you may encounter during treatment.
If you are diagnosed with cancer you will be referred to one of our specialist nurses in our Cancer Care team. They will be able to provide information on the treatment options open to you and dedicated support throughout your treatment.
If your treatment is eligible under the policy as a private patient, but after discussion with the Cancer Care nurses you choose to have NHS treatment instead, our specialist nurses can also offer other services to support you financially whilst you receive NHS cancer treatment, for example domestic help or assistance with travel costs to and from the hospital. They can also signpost you to relevant support services available through other organisations such as cancer charities.
One of the benefits of taking out Saga Health Insurance is that you can use our GP service for unlimited access to private telephone and video GP consultations. All our private health insurance plans include the service, which means you can speak in confidence with a qualified general practitioner day or night, 365 days a year from wherever you are in the world.
Saga GP Service is provided by HealthHero Solutions Limited, specialists in 24/7 Private GP services.
If you want to get advice from a specialist healthcare professional other than a GP you can call this line 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we can arrange for you to talk to the nursing team.
With 'Mental Health Direct Access' you can get prompt access to mental health care and support. It's included with all our health plans except Support.
If you experience stress, anxiety or any mental health concerns, call the Claims Helpline. We may need to make some checks before we can transfer you through to our Mental Health Direct Access team.
Once cover is agreed they will arrange for you to speak to a Specialist Team.
The Specialist Team will carry out an initial clinical needs assessment then recommend a treatment plan which is clinically appropriate for you.
This could be telephone or face-to-face counselling, a psychiatrist or psychologist consultation or simply some self-help advice.
We will pay for counselling arranged by the Mental Health Direct Access team if this is recommended, and this will not affect your excess, NCD or out-patient limits.
However, if our Mental Health Direct Access team recommend treatment such as with a specialist or practitioner it will be subject to the terms of your policy. These payments will be made direct to the provider.
Please note: This service is available to 18 and over only.
When you experience muscle, bone or joint pain, it is important that you get the most appropriate support early.
With ‘MSK Direct Access’ you can get access to advice and treatment without the need for a GP referral. It’s available with all Saga HealthPlans apart from Support.
If you develop a problem, just call the Claims Helpline, who will first check your cover and then offer a free telephone or video physiotherapist assessment, within 48 hours.
If you use MSK Direct Access for advice this will not affect your current benefits, as it works alongside these benefits.
However, if a MSK Direct Access physiotherapist recommends treatment, then we may need to go through some checks before any treatment can be authorised and claims are paid, subject to the terms of your policy.
Please note: age limits apply to who can use the service. Further details about the Direct Access service, including the age limits that apply, can be found on Bupa's website or you can contact us.
If you are an existing customer and you feel you would benefit from speaking to the MSK Direct Access team, please call your Claims Personal Advisory Team on 0330 018 0778. This number is free to call from both landlines and mobile phones.
We are proud to offer five-star treatment every day with Saga Health Insurance. Saga Healthplan Super is 5 Star rated by Defaqto.
We calculate the basic cost of your cover by taking into account which Saga HealthPlan and hospitals you have access to, whether you require cover for just yourself, yourself and spouse, or your children as well (up to the age of 21, or 25 if in full-time education).
We also take into account a range of statistical factors including the age of the eldest person to be covered and the geographical region you live in.
The cost can be reduced if you choose to add an excess to your policy or choose our unique 4-week wait option on your chosen Saga HealthPlan.
We also offer a 6-week wait option, but this is not available online. Please call 0330 094 6361 for more information.
Like most other private health insurance policies in the UK, all Saga HealthPlans are intended to cover the costs of treating medical conditions that arise after the date you join. Please refer to our Policy Books which help explain how we assess any pre-existing conditions that you may have, and also explains in more detail the three methods of underwriting that we use.
Generally, we automatically exclude treatment for any medical condition or certain specified conditions you (or anyone you wish to be covered) have experienced or had symptoms of during the three years prior to joining. Whichever method of underwriting you choose, you will of course be covered for any new, eligible conditions that arise after the policy starts.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition and would like to speak to one of our friendly health insurance team about the cover options available please call 0330 094 6361
