GlobalCapital Health Insurance Agency Ltd, representatives of Bupa (Malta), and St. Anne’s Clinic have recently signed an agreement to simplify payment transactions by eliminating administrative burdens for Bupa members and by creating a direct payment channel between the insurer and the private providers.
The agreement was signed by Bupa Malta Manager Mrs Adriana Zarb Adami and Mrs Isabelle Vella on behalf of St. Anne’s Clinic.

“Bupa provides cover for customary and reasonable charges incurred by our members who seek private medical care, irrespective of where the private care is administered, in line with the level of cover purchased. The agreement with St. Anne’s Clinic comes in the wake of a series of similar agreements signed with other private providers over the last months” she added.
“We strive to work with all those who share our commitment, in the best interest of all concerned. In the meantime, we look forward to concluding more agreements with other providers of medical services”. Mrs. Zarb Adami reminded all Bupa members to call Bupa before undergoing any inpatient treatment, except for accidents and emergencies.
Ms Isabelle Vella, Managing Director, St Anne’s Clinic, said that the opening of the new operating theatre at St Anne’s is their latest milestone.
