BRCA1 and Bupa - will they accept her?

I am a BRCA1 carrier, I have had BC and also risk reducing surgery.
My daughter is thinking of having a test to see if she too is a BRCA1 carrier.
She can join a bupa scheme at work, and I wonder if she should do this before discussing genetic conditions with he GP as I am worried it will effect her premium or even her acceptance.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this?
many thanks

See the second entry down for the ABI code of conduct info about disclosure of results. You have to download a PDF but it is very informative.
