Absolutely useless. Absolutely useless. Not worth it in the slightest and I get it for free through work. #FreeLuigi Reviewed on: 20th January 2025

Review of the Aviva, Health Insurance:

CheekyCharges Campaigner

Used them for a few years with work as part of my health insurance benefit. Never had any problems! Reviewed on: 12th March 2016

Good but not great

They covered most of what I wanted but inadequately Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Like the rest of AVIVA - utterly dreadful

Having been with Simply Health (SH) for years and experiencing their exceptional service, coming to AVIVA was a dreadful shock. Impossible to speak to anyone, expect a minimum 1 hour on hold if you call. The portal is so basic and requires YOU to update all progress (SH it was automatically done). Invoices come to you so you have to forward them to AVIVA but this can't be done through the portal?? Doctor will be at one location however other treatments could be anywhere. You have to pay for prescriptions and as they are private they will be expensive. Everything seems to geared up to be awkward and troublesome, it is the standard insurance 'embuggerance'. We are off back to Simply Health. Avoid if you want a smooth clear and caring customer journey - sure not going to get it here! Reviewed on: 27th July 2023

terrible service

45 minutes - i'm still on hold now. i wasted 25 minutes on hold last Friday. need to make a claim on my policy. the chat bot service is useless, doesnt help at all. I will be cancelling all of my policies with Aviva Reviewed on: 24th July 2023

Impossible to get in touch about claim

Urgent claim has no response 5 days on. Getting in touch by phone - about to give up after 30 mins of music. Chat option does not work. Extremely poor. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2023

Good company

Needed to get this in order to secure a mortgage for my new property. The lady on the phone talked me through options very well, documentation sent. No problems. Would recommend Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Customer call centre never answers.

It takes me more than 1 hour every time I am trying to get in touch with the customer service team. Awful. Reviewed on: 17th July 2023

Do not use this company

They never answer their phones & the only way to contact them is via a chat box that takes you in circles to ensure to never speak to anyone Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

Tried using them, counting the days on hold

Used them, well tried using them for the first time today, 45 minutes on hold, how long should you wait,1 hour, 3 hours? Don't waste your money paying for this private health care, it's slower than the NHS. Shall be chasing my refund straight away!! Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

Worst service from any company

Let's set the scene. Your wife is dying in hospital so your looking to make a claim. Your exhausted and emotionally destroyed. You ring aviva to see what support and options are available. I have had to call them 3 times and each time it's well over an hour of listening to depressing hold music. You get so fed up you ask is there any other way I can contact you and your informed of the email support address. So I email all the evidence in, get an automatic response saying they will respond within 10 working days . That's right 2 weeks to respond to an email. This is the best bit, after 12 working days still no response so back to the hour and a half wait on the phones. The irony that your paying for private medical insurance and getting 3rd world customer support. I can ring and speak to my nhs doctors surgery in less than 30 mins and that's excessive. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

very good physio service

I had back problems and the process for self referral was so smooth and the staff at every step were very helpful. The on-line portal is very clear to use too. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023
