In a statement the insurer said: Bupa launched open referrals as an option for corporate clients in late 2011. The process ensures that members have access to high quality, affordable healthcare and provides a guarantee that there will be no surprise shortfalls.

This gives our members more choice rather than being referred to a single consultant by a GP.
