"BUPA members can also, with the agreement of their consultant, receive certain cancer treatments in the comfort of their own home".
""By undertaking rigorous evidence-based evaluation of new treatments, BUPA funds drugs for early stage breast, bowel and lung cancers, like Herceptin, even when such drugs are not available from the NHS or not funded by some of our competitors.
Around 60,000 members benefit from BUPA-covered cancer treatments".
""In its report about private medical insurance cover for cancer, leading cancer information charity Cancerbackup highlighted the fact that BUPA is the only insurer to provide cover for patients at every stage of their cancer." 04 September 2007.
