Review of the Aviva, Health insurance:

Shocking!

I have just had to cancel my AVIVA private health. It is the worst experience ever. When it came to a claim I had to wait up to 2+ hours on the phone, then they would not process the claim, I had to go through NHS (but continued to pay circa £299 a month but yet use the NHS! I appealed then they realised that I was in the right. They apologised and promised a £30 refund which I do not even know when I will receive this. I normally have BUPA or AXA PPP (which are much better). I will never take out an AVIVA policy again! steer clear of them! Reviewed on: 2nd December 2023

Thanks for looking after me

Cancer diagnosis 7 years ago, very worried about money Aviva acted very quickly and took all the worries from me. Iam now much better. Thank you Aviva. Reviewed on: 4th August 2019

Unhappy with breadth and level of cover

I pay a high monthly premium, but recently when I was advised by my GP to have some moles on my body investigated to makes sure they were not cancerous, I have still ended up with bills totalling £711.00. They seem to cover nothing unless you are at deaths door. Reviewed on: 28th July 2019

A pleased customer

I've had a positive experience using aviva. Thanks Reviewed on: 23rd July 2019

Aviva - good all round provider

Health insurance in particular excellent value, good internet marketing site. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Helpful Service

Clear policies and helpful service when making a claim Reviewed on: 22nd September 2018

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
