Member firms will be able to source the new personal health insurance product
Paradigm Protect, a protection and general insurance proposition that is part of Paradigm Mortgage Services, has announced the addition of Bupa to its private medical insurance (PMI) panel.
“With the healthcare landscape changing significantly in a post-Covid world, there has been a growing demand from Paradigm member firms to have increased support in this area in order to support an increasing need from their clients,” said Mike Allison (pictured), the director of protection at Paradigm.
“We are therefore very pleased to be broadening our PMI panel by adding Bupa to it today, who bring with them a world-class proposition, known throughout the country, and a raft of services and benefits to both advisers and their clients.”
Following the addition of Bupa, Paradigm Protect’s member firms will be able to access Bupa’s personal health insurance products. This includes several options, services, and benefits such as access to a digital GP or nurse 24/7 as well as a choice of private hospitals. It also includes an extensive mental health coverage and access to breakthrough cancer drugs and treatments.
Clients will be able to choose between two health insurance options that are available within the Bupa By You product which consists of the Comprehensive cover that includes private diagnosis and treatment or the Treatment and Care cover that offer private treatment after a diagnosis.
Advisers will be able to manage all their clients through Bupa’s Consumer Intermediary Portal. Through this, they will be able to find information regarding products and services, offer FMU, Moratorium, Switch, and XGS quotes to clients, as well as submit applications, upload supporting documents, and access important literature and documentation.
“We're pleased to be partnering with Paradigm to help bring Bupa’s services and benefits to advisers and their clients, extending our reach in the intermediary market,” said Jordan Ayrey, the head of consumer intermediary for Bupa UK Insurance.
