Moratoria on BUPA's cash plan scheme are being lifted or reduced after a previous stipulation of a six-month qualifying period.
From September 1st, people on company cash plan schemes will be covered immediately and, for individuals, the qualifying period will go down from 26 weeks to 13 weeks. An additional single level will also be introduced making
three levels available to individuals. This will give individuals the option for a higher level of cover.
Cash plan sales and marketing manager Cathy Gilbert said: "Following research amongst our customers, we have listened to what they want and which benefits they value most. BUPA Cash Plan is now more competitive than ever
in its benefits, as well as being more straightforward, flexible and offering better customer choice."
BUPA has also reviewed its pricing for the first time in three years, making only a five per cent increase to ensure that the scheme remains both competitive and attractive.
