BUPA reduces critical illness reviewable premiums

Private health care operator, BUPA Individual Protection, is reducing the premium rates for its critical illness plans with immediate effect. For critical illness plans bought alongside a mortgage, the rates have reduced by around 7.3% and for stand-alone critical illness cover the reduction is around 5.7%.

For example: A female non smoker aged 30 next birthday taking out £75,000 of critical illness cover alongside a 30-year mortgage will now pay £17.91 a month (£19.21 previously).

Meanwhile, the same individual taking out stand-alone critical illness cover will now pay £29.94 a month (£31.64 previously).
