Easy to change coverage

I added some extra coverage to my policy, the process was easy and the switchover from my old policy went through with no issues, it's good value for money. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

During my recent experience with Aviva I have found them very helpful and caring. They have been very transparent and have delivered on everything they have said they would. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

Aviva - avoiding supporting customers whenever possible. They will take any and every opportunity to delay, confuse, blame historic and anatomically-unrelated health conditions to avoid having to pay out. You have to fight, chase and waste your own time to try and get something that they are contractually obligated to supply. I am taking them to the small claims court as a result. Avoid!

Today is the the 9th of February 2026 and the claim has still not been paid. Reviewed on: 9th February 2026

AVIVA Health Insurance - Cold Stonewallers

1
My partner and I have tried to make genuine claims, but AVIVA ask so many questions and it appears they have an offshore company doing their assessments - as you get replies at 0500hrs. There customer service is awful and when my first claim was rejected - a call handler gleefully suggested that I should read the small print. One of their "overseas" reviewers suggested I may have a problem with alcohol. Reviewed on: 10th January 2026

Very bad experience with Aviva health insurance.

1
Very bad experience with Aviva health insurance. My son was critically ill and admitted to hospital for three days after choking, which led to a cardiac arrest. The medical team performed CPR, and he was placed on ventilator support because his lungs were in very poor condition. When he arrived at the hospital, there was no air in his lungs, and his ABG results were extremely poor. We contacted Aviva to make a claim, but they refused it, even though I have been paying nearly £50 per month. I contacted Aviva to make a claim and spoke with their customer care executive, who told me that this was not considered a serious issue. I do not understand what they would consider a serious issue, given the circumstances. This reflects very poor service, and I strongly do not recommend Aviva insurance anymore.
