Aviva Health Insurance reviews (169)

Customer service where are you?

After more than 2 hours wait on the phone they disconnected me. No ways to get in touch. Live chat not working either. Simply appalling. Beware of the "invited" reviews on Tripadvisor Reviewed on: 29th June 2022

Aviva are nothing but thieves

I was diagnosed with cancer after I took out the policy and they refused to pay for my treatment. They had copies of all my consultations and could see clearly that I’d never had a a diagnosis of cancer before or treatment on this particular area but they slithered out of paying. How can one person take on such a large company with lots of lawyers? I will never use them for any insurance again and strongly suggest no one else does either, they are corrupt! Reviewed on: 23rd June 2022

Appaling

Lack of transparency about costs, inflated treatment prices, terrible customer service: stay away! Reviewed on: 13th June 2022

Scammers ! Avoid avoid avoid

Do not use use Aviva Health care! They are only willing to pay £500 per year on any consultation! Nothing is explained clearly on the phone My premiums are £960 per year and my consultation cost came up to £1000! They are only willing to pay the minimum £500 Do not believe them when they say you can increase the £500 per year! They won’t allow you! Avoid using Aviva Health Care! Reviewed on: 8th June 2022

Woeful Digital GP Service

Cancelled without notifying me then a totally different GP left a voicemail to te me he was on video waiting for me. Useless and incompetent. Reviewed on: 21st May 2022

Disgusting!

Wanted some preemptive counselling for my nine year old. They talked me round in circles and did absolutely everything they could not to help the child. Absolutely disgusted by them. Have left immediately. I just want health security for my family and am willing to pay yet I've just spent hours on the phone fighting for my daughter to no avail. Worse support that the poor NHS. At least the NHS Has its heart in the right place. I repeat: disgusting. Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

False assurances and mis-sold insurance

A complete waste of money! Beware when taking out a medical insurance policy to cover you in the event of illness and inability to work. At a time when you are unwell and at your most vulnerable, Aviva will not pay out for the first month and will keep you waiting without financial support for a number of months. They will also bring up your whole medical history and try to find an excuse not to support your claim. Reviewed on: 10th May 2022

The Worst! - try to wheedle out of paying legitiate clam

I took out Aviva Healthcare for me and my wife in April Last year - they asked about any conditions or treatments in the prior 5 years - I confirmed hat there weren't any. I renewed the policy last month and initiated a claim as my doctor had recommended a colonoscopy (Due to my dad dying of Bowel cancer 12 yrs ago), when I started the claim, they looked at my records and saw that I had previously had a colonoscopy July 10th 2016 - 6 Years ago.... they refused to honour the claim stating that I had had a a investigation (Which found nothing) withn 5 Years... I pointd out that it was 6 years ago... and they defaulted to he start date of he policy - April 24th 2021 - which was 4 Years and 10 months after my previous investigation ... and have now said that as I consulted my doctor.. I would have to wait another 5 years before they would consider covering this procedure how is this effective preventative support... in five years, a Polyp can go from being harmless to stage 4 inoperable cancer!!! Reviewed on: 3rd May 2022

Avoid like the plague

Dreadful service. From the first call, their attitude was ‘how are we going to get out of this?’ Wish I’d stuck with BUPA. Reviewed on: 20th April 2022

Thieves

This Company took over my previouse insurer. I have been with them for 40 years and currently pay them £650 a month. You take insurance out for those occasiions when you need medical help especially life saving. A number of times over the last 40 years I have had to pay up to £3600 out of my own pocket. Now they have given 6 months notice they won't cover my heart condition. With insurance some people claim and some people like my wife never claim. Thats why we insure in the first place. This company is a disgrace and I wish I had never heard of them. If your thinking of useing them DON'T you will be sorry. Once they refuse treatment it's to late to go somewhere else and you can die for all they care. Reviewed on: 15th April 2022
