BUPA Malta renews agreement with St Philip's

GlobalCapital Health Insurance Agency Ltd, a member of GlobalCapital and the representative of BUPA Insurance Ltd, has renewed its agreement with St Philip's Hospital. Patients insured with BUPA Malta, on a full refund in-patient scheme, in which every case will be assessed on its own merit, can now have all their medical bills settled directly between St Philip's Hospital and BUPA Malta.

BUPA is the largest private medical insurer in Malta. St Philip's is a 70-bed private hospital offering high standards of clinical care that have been endorsed by BUPA Malta. Dr Frank Portelli, director and CEO of St Philip's, said: "The service offered to our patients by BUPA Malta, through GlobalCapital Health Insurance Agency, has proved to be excellent and efficient. The direct settlement of medical bills with the hospital has been of immense reassurance to our patients."

Nicholas Portelli, CEO of GlobalCapital, explained that BUPA is a global health and care organisation with nearly eight million members and 192 offices worldwide.

"BUPA health insurance schemes allow people to set their minds at rest that, should they need a certain level of medical care, they will be able to afford it," Mr Portelli pointed out. "When this is done by direct settlement, between the hospital and the insurance provider, it is even more reassuring."
