Starting your membership

Your membership starts on the date agreed between the Policyholder and BUPA Health Insurance.

When cover starts for others included in your membership

Membership for each of your dependents (If any) starts on the date as agreed between the Policyholder and BUPA Health Insurance. Their membership may continue for as long as you remain a member of the plan. However, a child dependent will stop being a member on the first renewal date after their 21 st birthday-or on their marriage, whichever happens first.

Renewing your membership

The continuation of your membership is subject to your Policyholder renewing your membership under the agreement.

Ending your membership

The Policyholder can end your membership or that of your dependents at any time by writing to us.

Your membership will automatically end:

· If the agreement between BUPA Health Insurance and the Policyholder is terminated

· If the Policyholder does not renew your membership

· If the Policyholder does not pay premium for you or any other person under the agreement

· Upon the death of the principle member

BUPA Health Insurance can end a person’s membership if there is reasonable evidence that the person concerned has misled, or attempted to mislead us. By this, we mean giving false information or keeping necessary information from us, either intentionally or carelessly, which may influence us when deciding :

· Whether you (or they) may join the plan

· Whether to pay any claim
