Bupa Acıbadem Insurance

What Bupa Acıbadem Insurance does

Bupa Acıbadem Sigorta (Bupa Acıbadem Insurance) is a privately held Turkish health insurance company headquartered in Istanbul, operating as a subsidiary of the international health insurer Bupa Global. The company was established in 2004 by combining Bupa's global health insurance expertise with the Acıbadem healthcare network, and has since built 20+ years of operating history in the Turkish market. It sells a modular product portfolio under the 'Kişiye Özel' (personalized) architecture, anchored by Personal Health Insurance and complemented by complementary, global, hybrid, preventive, pregnancy, dental, critical illness, travel, visa, and check-up products, alongside group health insurance for corporate clients.

The operating model rests on three technology layers: (1) the proprietary senCard digital ecosystem, which integrates a provision (pre-authorization) system, a medication provision system, a workplace-physician platform, a mobile app, a self-servis portal, and the senCard Market e-commerce storefront; (2) the Blua digital health services platform providing video physician consultations; and (3) the MembersWorld app and Global Virtual Care service delivered through the Bupa Global partnership, which extends coverage to 190+ countries and 2 million+ providers. Distribution spans a nationwide insurance agency network, a dedicated corporate sales team, an in-house contact center, the senCard Market online channel, and provider-network referrals across 5,300+ contracted Turkish medical institutions, 500+ dental clinics, and 17 check-up facilities in 7 provinces.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring annual insurance premiums across individual, SME, and corporate segments, with multiple pricing tiers (T1 Plus, T1, T2, A3) and rating factors including age, network choice, and coverage scope. Disclosed examples include senCard Dental packages from 715 TL to 6,570 TL per year and Critical Illness coverage from 100,000 TL to 2,000,000 TL. The customer base mixes individual consumers (including foreign nationals requiring residence-permit insurance), SMEs (10+ employees), and large corporates; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company is led by an Acting General Manager (Aslıhan Duymaz) following Gökhan Gürcan's prior tenure as General Manager.
