We automatically set you up a Providers Online account when you become recognised. If you don’t have your log in details, please call us on 0345 755 3333* between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

If you’re the named consultant or therapist on your Bupa recognition, you’re the “account holder”. If you’re managing an account on behalf of a hospital or clinic, you’re a “super user”. Both the “account holder” and “super user” can use all the features in Providers Online. They can also set up the other users, known as “delegate users”, and decide which Providers Online features to give other users access to. The “account holder” is also responsible for removing any “super users” who no longer work for them.

3) This will return the patient’s policy information, as well as allowing you to see any treatment they’ve pre-authorised with you.

If the search doesn’t return any results and you have tried the other search methods as well, there are a couple of reasons this might happen:

1) The patient hasn’t pre-authorised any treatment with you and needs to contact us for a new preauthorisation or to update an existing one.

2) The details entered are incorrect and you’ll need to ask the patient for the correct policy details.

3) The patient doesn’t have Bupa cover.

How do I find a list of codes for procedures and impairments?

You can find our Schedule of Procedures and impairment codes, as well as our separately chargeable drugs and prosthesis lists, at: https://www.nihonqc.com/healthcare-professionals/pol-latest-updates

What do I do if a patient is showing as “inactive”?

You might find that a patient shows as “inactive” when you've searched for them or are submitting an invoice, even their contract dates imply that their policy is still active. This happens when they end their cover midway through the policy year. Once the policy is showing “inactive”, the patient no longer has Bupa cover so you’ll need to contact them about payment.

How do I submit a funding form?

Please select the forms tab in Providers Online. This will then open another window where you can choose the form you need from the dropdown. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can check whether the proposed treatment is covered by the patient’s policy. Once you’ve completed the form, press submit.

How do I submit an Uplift request?

We appreciate that our Schedule of Procedures can’t address every potential medical situation for all Bupa patients. So we’re happy to review uplift requests where a procedure is more complex or multiple consultants operate on a patient during the same theatre session.

Please make sure that the patient has pre-authorised the procedure before going ahead, as we’re unable to pay uplifts and two handed surgery requests for procedures that haven’t been. You can review all pre-authorisations linked to you by logging into Providers Online.

After the surgery, please complete the Complex surgery fee uplift request form, which you can find in the forms section of Providers Online, and send us copies of the anaesthetic charts and operation notes by secure email^ to [email protected] . We’ll usually get back to you within five working days to let you know whether we can confirm an uplift. If we’re unable to do so, we’ll pay the usual fee for the procedure. You can find more information about requesting an uplift in section 8.4 of the Essential Notes of our Schedule of Procedures.
