If you need to claim, we keep things simple
Once you have joined Complete Health, all claims must be pre-authorised before you commence any treatment.
You can contact us through the WPA Health app, online at My WPA, or by calling our customer helpdesk. We will check that your symptoms are covered, take details of your claim and explain how you can get help. You may be able to get treatment without a GP referral through the .
1
Contact your GP
If you're feeling unwell your GP is best placed to advise what may be necessary. If they feel you need investigations they will refer you.
2
Start a claim
Start a claim via our app, by logging into My WPA, or by calling us. It's important you register your claim before you incur any costs.
3
Treatment bills
Once your claim has been authorised you can begin your treatment journey. We settle the bills for your treatment directly with the treatment provider.
Specialists are free to set their own charges for consultations and operations. Operations (or procedures) are classified by a code. We set a maximum fee that we will reimburse for each of these codes and consultations based on our assessment of the customary and reasonable cost. Specialists are required to let you know their charge in advance so you can check whether this is within our fee allowance. If you have chosen an excess level, or the specialist has charged more than our allowance, we will only pay our share directly to them.
We offer support in a variety of ways
Fast Track Pathways
Fast Track Pathway benefits are available without the need for a GP referral, to put you on the road to a quick recovery. If you need physiotherapy, have any skin concerns, or have any symptoms of breast, prostate or skin cancer, acting fast can ease your worry.
A niggling knee, a stiff neck, shoulder pain, backache...it's easy to ignore these until they become bigger problems. Fast Track Physiotherapy provides quick access to expert care - helping recovery, mobility, and prevention of long-term issues.
The first step in gaining support or advice for a skin condition, or for concerns regarding a mole or lesion. Fast Track Skin Support is web-based - simply upload images of the affected area and a dermatologist will review within three working days and provide a response. This is the quickest way to answer any skin concerns.
If you have any symptoms of breast, prostate or skin cancer, acting fast can ease your worry. Fast Track Cancer Diagnosis gives access to expert care - helping gain a diagnosis, or simply reassurance if the concern turns out to be nothing to worry about.
All Pathways are provided through third party providers and are subject to each provider's terms and conditions which may be amended at any time. WPA is not responsible for the services or treatment provided by the third party providers.
Member support benefits

Structured Counselling
If the Health & Wellbeing Helpline considers it appropriate, you can be referred for structured counselling. Brief (solution-focused) counselling is available up to a limited number of sessions, with the option to add extended therapy to your policy to enhance your cover. The Structured Counselling benefits will not have any general or personal exclusions applied. However, there may be occasions when different, or more specialist, therapy is needed and the counsellor that completes the assessment will help consider options.

Tailor your premium
Complete Health offers a choice of excess levels to help control your health insurance premium.
An excess is the amount you have to pay towards the cost of your eligible treatment before we contribute to your treatment costs. Once your excess has been paid, we will provide benefit for your eligible treatment costs for the remainder of that policy year within your benefit limits.
You can choose different excess levels per family member - these are then applied per person, per policy year and not per claim.
Choosing to include an excess makes your insurance premiums cheaper, as you'll be paying some of the claim costs yourself.
Make sure you choose an excess that's within budget as if you need to make a claim, having an excess is only worth doing if you can afford to pay it.
An example
Select a level of excess:
