Access is also available to details of BUPA's other personal andcompany products including dental cover, travel insurance and cash plans.

 

BUPA sales director Steve Flanagan said: 'We've put a lotof time and effort into asking intermediaries exactly what they need from BUPAvia the web and responded to their requests with our newly designed site. It iseasy to navigate, simple to use and gives intermediaries access to productdetails and application forms at the touch of a button and all this informationcan be downloaded and printed, thereby saving the intermediary time andeffort.'

 

BUPA also offers intermediaries access to the BUPAHealthLine which is staffed by a team of dedicated and fully qualified nurses,who can provide them and their immediate family members with clinicalinformation and suggest possible treatments 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
