Review of the Aviva, Health insurance:

Abysmal service - avoid!

My broker found me this policy, and I decided to proceed. I contacted them not long after policy started, and after 2 calls, waiting for over 45mins - I opted for a callback, which after a week never appeared. I’m afraid for £175 per month, I used this as a sign that I shouldn’t proceed with the policy so cancelled the DD. 1 month later they wrote asking to me complete a new DD mandate. I wrote back advising of the terrible service, to which they just cancelled the policy. A lucky escape and won’t touch them again either a barge-pole for any other policy.

GOOD COVERAGE

Good coverage relevant to age and income, easy to set up when also purchasing a house. The benefits and coverage offer a lot, should a pay out ever be required. Reviewed on: 17th July 2018

Excellent value

I have been with Aviva for critical illness cover for years as I cant find better cover elsewhere. Reviewed on: 25th September 2017

Not very responsive and not competitive.

A company that seems determined to bombard with material but does little to evince confidence in their product. Reviewed on: 13th September 2017

I have been a customer of Comfort for many years. Comfort by name Comfort for exceolent service

ALL GOOD. NO COMPLAINTS WHICH CANNOT BE SAID FOR A NUMBER OF OTHER CO;S Reviewed on: 6th September 2017

was ok

had some problems claiming my money but overall they were keen to help. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2017

Sympathetic without being condescending

My husband has suffered 2 strokes & gone through treatment for throat cancer in the last 2 years. When I phoned Aviva after the most recent stroke they were extremely helpful & I was very happy with the service I got from them. Reviewed on: 15th July 2017

Linked Common Cold as pre conditon

Please avoid. Linked common cold as pre-condition symptoms when i asked them for referral to specialist as my child was unwell.. From morning i was continuously on phone calls . Just when you think you have insurance to cover you for your family and then they link to such common symptoms. Reviewed on: 16th November 2016

Aviva health care

Luckily not had to use it but good to have it as a back up. Time will tell how good they are when it comes to an actual claim Reviewed on: 15th August 2016

Brilliant

Great service from start to finish. Great customer experience on the phone lines. Reviewed on: 13th August 2016

Fantastic health insurance

I'd had health insurance for a while, but since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer it has really come into its own! There is a dedicated oncology team, and every call and claim has been so easy and straightforward, thank you for making a difficult time much easier Reviewed on: 13th August 2016
