Bupa announces enhanced dental plan

Bupa has unveiled its enhanced dental plan that will be available from April.

It will offer up to £15,000 for oral cancer, full reimbursement for NHS treatment, routine treatment overseas, anaesthetist benefit and up to £1,000 a year for hospital stays.

The policy is available in five budget levels, does not require pre-enrolment dental checks or underwriting and can be paid for by employers or offered as an employees-paid voluntary benefit.

Ivan Kennedy, head of Bupa Dental, said: "We have listened to employers, employees and intermediaries and designed our plan to include a range of benefits they say they value the most.

"Dental insurance is a highly-valued employee benefit because it is one that most employees can use at least twice a year."
