Their source lists identify the insurer documents used; numerical examples are labelled as illustrations. They do not claim personal review by Patrick Baxter or Sadie Sansford. Policy versions, exclusions, options and membership certificates determine individual cover. The no-claims discount guide identifies conflicting Bupa wording at exactly £1,200 and the difference between WPA’s live calculator and its March 2026 brochure. Check the policy version before applying a discount rule. ## Navigation - [All guides](https://reviewhealthinsurance.co.uk/knowledge/) - [Request a review](https://reviewhealthinsurance.co.uk/mhp-quote-form.html) - [Privacy](https://reviewhealthinsurance.co.uk/privacy-policy/) - [Terms](https://reviewhealthinsurance.co.uk/terms/)
