Comprehensive, flexible private health insurance tailored to you, from inpatient care to mental health support, dental cover, and more.
Get Your Quote TodayWPA (Western Provident Association) is a UK-based non-profit organisation specialising exclusively in health insurance. With over a century of experience, WPA partners with individuals and businesses to offer tailored health insurance policies that deliver comprehensive protection and peace of mind.
The Reading Work People's Voluntary Hospital Contributory Fund was established in 1901 by a group of workers to support their members and the costs associated with their health care. In 1939, the fund absorbed the Bristol Hospital Fund, and in 1949 both were renamed the Western Provident Association (WPA). The WPA moved from Bristol to a purposefully designed building in Taunton, Somerset in 1992.
The World Health Organisation report noted that the WPA, through shared responsibility, or coinsurance policies, "was leading the field," in which members of the working-age population were responsible for a certain amount of the liability up to a capped limit.
Key Features and Advantages of WPA Health Insurance:The Complete Health policy covers full inpatient care, including hospital fees, consultations, diagnostic tests (MRI, CT, PET scans), and therapy sessions.
