What comprehensive health insurance covers for professional, semi-pro and grassroots rugby clubs

Rugby is a high-impact sport, and it’s something that standard health insurance often won’t cover. Comprehensive rugby club health insurance is designed specifically for rugby teams, protecting players during training and games.

Here’s what health insurance covers for your rugby club:

• Access to over 25,000 Bupa specialists.
• The highest standard of medical treatment.
• Inpatient treatment, including surgery.
• Rehabilitation post-treatment.

Give your players peace of mind that they’re not going to experience diagnostic and treatment delays when they’re injured through private health insurance. Ultimately, this is what means faster treatment, rehabilitation and a full recovery.

• Preventing Financial Loss – Rugby insurance means your players aren’t worrying about high medical costs or lost earnings if they’re out of action and unable to work. That means you’re supporting both your players and their families.

• Supporting Player Development – Ensure your players have the best possible care available to them, so that they can get specialist treatment for injuries, making it more likely they’ll come back even stronger than before and continue their sporting journeys.

• Better Sporting Success – It’s hard to advance as a club when you can’t play your best 13 – 15. Insurance is a proven way to reduce recovery times by ensuring faster access to treatment and specialist-led care, which can lower the risk of re-injury.

It’s also worth mentioning that in today’s world, governing bodies often require rugby clubs to have minimum levels of coverage. These requirements apply to both the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Scottish Rugby as a condition of affiliation.

• Open the door for rapid access to consultants, specialists and rehabilitation professionals.

• Get specialist care that you might not find within general healthcare. Many policies cover rugby-specific injuries, including concussion, shoulder dislocations and ligament tears.

• Extend your coverage beyond playing personnel to coaches, volunteers and other staff.
