Review of the Aviva, Health insurance:

Abysmal service - avoid!

1
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.

Hard to Reach!

1
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.

5
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.

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
