If you’re thinking about taking out health insurance and have a provider in mind, or already have a policy, it’s worth checking to see whether you could benefit from any current offers or rewards.

Right now, our health insurance discounts page shows there’s an impressive range of offers, including:

▫️ Discounted premiums
▫️ Money-off gym memberships
▫️ Health and wellness rewards
▫️ Free medication checks
▫️ Referral rewards

Of course, discounts are only one part of the picture. It’s important to make sure any policy you choose meets your long-term needs, rather than selecting a provider just because a special offer looks tempting.

While a cheaper gym membership or a shiny new gadget might sound appealing, you could regret the decision if your policy doesn’t provide the cover you expect when you need medical treatment later on.

The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has formally asked the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to look into private dentistry and the costs of private dental treatment, citing concerns about hidden charges, a lack of transparency and overtreatment.

It follows myTribe’s research earlier this year revealing steep price increases in the cost of most everyday private dental treatments, with some average prices now 32% higher than just two years ago.

The CMA study will assess whether:

🔹 Competition between private dental providers is working effectively
🔹 Consumers can make effective choices about their dental treatment
🔹 Patients are getting good value for their money

At myTribe, we’ll continue tracking changes in dental costs and sharing updates to help people understand their options.

Bupa is now offering free 15-minute, face-to-face GP appointments at Bupa Health Centres for all its personal health insurance policyholders as a standard feature of its cover.

Previously, only Bupa By You Comprehensive customers with unlimited outpatient cover and Bupa Health Platinum Plus and Bupa Health Platinum customers could use the service. It has also removed the £20 appointment fee that applied to it.

With this service you can:

▪️ Discuss one acute minor illness or concern
▪️ Receive minor diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and swabs
▪️ Use it without affecting your no claims discount

Many people prefer seeing a GP in person rather than via virtual consultations, which are typically included in private health insurance policies, so Bupa’s update could appeal to plenty of its customers.

🔷 A simple home saliva sample
🔷 A personalised DNA report
🔷 An optional 30-minute virtual GP consultation

By understanding your genetic makeup, healthcare providers can select medications that are most likely to be effective and have fewer side effects.
