Bupa

Surgeons have condemned plans by Bupa to demand pre-operation second opinions as "unacceptable" and "potentially harmful to patients" while criticising the provider for not working alongside them.

Friends Life is to consolidate its individual protection streams onto a single platform, based around the recently acquired Bupa proposition.

Bupa has announced it will no longer sell corporate private medical insurance (PMI) schemes which feature overall cost or time limits for cancer treatment.

Bupa grew its overall revenues and underlying pre-tax surplus by 9% last year.

Consumer insurance for long-term care (LTC) will not solve the problems of social care funding in England and Wales and a hybrid public-private partnership model should be explored instead, according to a new report.

Cuts to long-term care funding could lead to a shortfall of almost 100,000 care home beds over the next ten years, according to a new study.

Resolution, the buy-out vehicle launched by entrepreneur Clive Cowdery, is highly unlikely to make any further acquisitions and will instead focus on developing new life products.

Ageas Protect has added a new national sales manager and strategic account manager to join its protection business from Bupa.

Paradigm has kicked off a revamp of its protection offering by adding Bupa Individual Protection's proposition to its Elite protection panel.
