Review of the Aviva, Health insurance:

Shocking!

1
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

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.

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.
