Your hospital recovery

If your hospital visit meant the arrival of a new bundle of joy, don’t forget to add them to your Bupa cover.

If you have family, couple or single parent cover: 

• Your newborn won’t serve waiting periods if they’re added to your (the parent’s) policy from their date of birth, and before their 1st birthday. 
• You may need to change your cover type (e.g. from couple to family cover). Your premium may change and result in a catch-up payment. To ensure your baby remains covered you’ll need to continue to pay your new premium. 

If you have singles cover (or couples cover which doesn't have a family or single parent option): 

• Your newborn won’t serve waiting periods if added from their date of birth, provided we receive notification of the birth within 90 days, and you change to family or single parent cover from their date of birth. Your premium may change and result in a catch-up payment. To ensure your baby remains covered you’ll need to continue to pay your new premium.
