Frequently asked questions

What is a health cash plan?

The plan pays you cash towards your everyday healthcare costs, such as dental check-ups and treatment, eyesight tests, new glasses and contact lenses, diagnostic health consultations and therapy treatments, plus many more benefits.

Is a health cash plan the same as private medical insurance?

No, private medical insurance pays for treatment and operations performed privately. A health cash plan is a healthcare plan which complements the NHS by reimbursing bills for everyday healthcare treatments and also paying lump sum payments for hospital in-patient stays and day case surgery.

Who is eligible for this plan?

Applications are accepted from anyone aged 16 or above at the time of application who reside in the UK. Children can be covered on a policy until their 18th birthday.

How do I apply?

You can apply for a health cash plan online or alternatively call our helpdesk on 0121 454 3601.

How will I know if I have been accepted?

You will be sent a welcome pack containing your policy and full information.

When do I qualify for health cash plan benefit?

You will be eligible to claim 13 weeks from the start date shown on your policy with the exception of maternity/paternity benefit, which carries a 10 month qualifying period.

What if I have a pre-existing medical condition?

You will not be able to make hospital-related claims which are connected to that problem for two years. However, you will be covered for all other benefits and hospital claims if they are not related.

Is it easy to claim?

Yes. Simply pay your bill, complete your claim form and send it to BHSF with the original receipt, and subject to policy terms we will reimburse you up to your maximum benefit limit. Benefits are paid directly to you by credit transfer to your bank account.

Can I upgrade to a higher level of cover later?

Yes. You should review your cover periodically to ensure it remains adequate. If you wish to do so, you can apply to upgrade your level of cover.
