Review of the Aviva, Health Insurance:

Can't get through to anyone

What are we actually paying for? I'm not convinced there's anyone there. I've called so many times, each time I'm on hold for more than an hour and I have to end the call as I have other commitments to attend to, and then today after waiting over an hour they cut me off. Twice. The live chat box just says "We have a live chat team available Mon-Fri 8am-6:30pm and Sat 9am-1pm. Unfortunately, they're busy right now, so we won't be able to connect you to an agent. Give us a ring instead on 0800 051 0929." Angry doesn't come close to how I feel about them. They are charging for a service that is simply not fit for purpose. Reviewed on: 16th August 2023

Top range of services for health

I've been a corporate policy holder for over 15 years. Their service when I've had to claim is fantastic, including their back to better scheme for instant physiotherapy. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

5 star service

Really helped us when we needed medical assistance Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Breezy choice of health insurance

Customer service was excellent t in helping me to chose the type of health service that best suited my needs. I was assured that I would be able to look into my options again in the near future and decide about any changes I would want to make Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Hard to Reach!

Aviva are impossible to contact - after nearly an hour on the phone I resorted to email - they have very slow response times on that. I understand they were short of staff and recruiting at the time so I moved away from them. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Zero Excess. Great customer service.

I have my children covered by a health insurance policy. My 19 yr old daughter fell ill and needed some treatment. Following a very simple claims process, and without any excess, she was put together with a treatment provider who was able to manage the treatment and co-ordinate with the insurer to extend as necessary until she was well enough to continue without. Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Excellent management dealing with my health claim

Dealt with my ongoing debilitating health issue with great ease and comfort and reassured me very well. I felt heard and understood. Emily Royle was my expert t claim associate who was absolutely brilliant, very professional and very assuring in every aspect. She dealt with my issue seamlessly - thank you so much Aviva I will be highly recommending you! Reviewed on: 29th April 2024

Shocking company.

Shocking company. I've been trying for a week to get through and simply change direct debit details. You have no chance of speaking to anyone. Cancelling my policy now because if I ever needed them I couldn't go through this ordeal. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

The poorest customer service I’ve experienced

The poorest customer service when you need to make a claim. If you use their Aviva app as they ask it takes min 72hrs for a response. Alternatively you telephone and your wait time is between 25-30mins for an answer. No apology for your long wait is offered and the speed, efficiency and competence shown by then is totally unacceptable. Having been with Saga previously I’ve been over promised by Aviva Health they were comparable if not better. Sorry I moved my Healthcare business to them. Even when you get through, you are placed on hold continuously even when you are just updating them following your consultant visit which they insist on. I’ve complained and told there was a 3 day SLA before anyone contacts me to discuss. Received no phone call after 7 days, got email saying they are investigating and will return. Not sure how given no-one has even taken the time or trouble to call. So poor. Reviewed on: 9th April 2024
