There are some limits and exclusions which apply to specific services. Please review the technical guide for full details.

We are not a private medical insurer. We provide healthcare services on a discretionary basis, except treatment for TB, which is provided on an insured basis. Our services are reviewed regularly and subject to the resources we have available. In some cases, provision of service can be dependent on factors such as a referral from a qualified NHS practitioner, NHS wait times and the type of treatment required. This is explained in detail for each service throughout the guide.

Our services are provided on a discretionary basis, and are subject to the resources we have available and are designed to offer a more affordable healthcare.

This discretionary model is at the heart of everything we do. It has served our members well for more than 115 years and allows us to manage our funds and the services we provide carefully to ensure that we can continue to offer every member one affordable price, regardless of age and pre-existing medical conditions.

When services change, we will keep you informed of changes via our website, Be Healthy magazine or communications to you.
