Had Axa for 4 years up until last year all fine Sadly the customer service staff are untrained, they cannot find claims, hospitals you can use, consultants you can use and read from a script I spend £600 per month would be better throwing the money in a bin Avoid these at all costs spend your hard earned money elsewhere Reviewed on: 8th May 2025

The worst

Thery are completely useless, in basically all aspects. I really hope people read this review (and many others) and decide NOT to use AXA for private health insurance. They are a disgrace. Reviewed on: 25th October 2024

Sham Company- They do not pay claims- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

I have paid for this insurance for 5 years and have never filed a claim. I went to a gastro because I was having pain in my abdomen, and he ordered multiple tests to try to find out what was causing my pain. In the process, he found multiple issues, and one main issue is the root cause of the pain. This issue will require surgery. AXA is categorizing each procedure separately and refusing to pay because there were multiple issues found. They are requiring a co-pay for each procedure. What a rip-off. I have paid these people on time for 5 years and the one time that I have an issue, they are using every excuse not to cover the procedures. I have received $60 back out of a total of over $2500 worth of procedures. They are a fraud. The brokers they allow people to use in Mexico are a joke, and they have no idea what they are doing or how to file claims with the insurance company. I would only recommend this sham of a company to people who want to pay 100% out of pocket for all procedures and turn around and pay them hundreds of dollars a month for imaginary coverage. I wish I could get paid every month for doing absolutely nothing. Reviewed on: 19th September 2024

If it wasn't about my health it would be laughable

Send messages to me meant for someone else, sent me a cheque for £100 for a claim I didn't make - been waiting since May for a referral - don't answer the phone just very very poor service. Regret paying my money to them Reviewed on: 18th September 2024

Zero claims honoured when needed - DO NOT USE

My recent experience with AXA Health, specifically with the call handler "Jackie Gould," was profoundly disappointing and left much to be desired. I found her handling of my concerns to be substandard, lacking empathy, and failing to address my needs adequately. As a customer reaching out with legitimate grievances regarding Chiroptic referral and other claims, I expected to be met with professionalism and understanding. However, Ms. Gould's approach fell far short of these expectations. She demonstrated a concerning lack of empathy towards my situation and failed to provide the level of assistance and support that I rightfully deserved. After explaining my situation, all she kept doing was throwing the handbook policy in my face... I don't know anyone who memorizes these types of collaterals.. Honestly, just get real. Furthermore, her inability to effectively handle my complaint only exacerbated the frustration and dissatisfaction I experienced throughout this process. It is disheartening to encounter such poor customer service from a company like AXA Health, which prides itself on providing quality care and support to its clients. In light of this experience, I am deeply concerned about the overall quality of service provided by AXA Health and question their commitment to addressing customer concerns in a timely and satisfactory manner. I sincerely hope that AXA Health takes appropriate steps to address these issues and ensure that future interactions with their representatives are more professional and empathetic. I would highly recommend NOT using this company as they find anyway to reject claims and dehumanise the process thats meant to support your very real needs. I am now complaining to the financial ombudsman. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They will do anything to get out of a claim. My 3 year old son had an ear infection when he was 1 and they will not let me get cover for his current GLUE EAR. This in my opinion is like not covering throat cancer if you had a sore throat a few years ago. Reviewed on: 26th March 2024

AVOID for the sake of your mental health

They will add every possible bureaucracy layer so they don't cover your claim. When you finally complete all the tedious steps and bring the documentation requested as it was requested, they will disregard everything and just say no. Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

It is simply impossilbe to make a claim on my AXA health policy. I never used the policy since taking it out but when I tried to make a claim, the process was almost impossible. A ton of unecessary paperwork that you have to repeat over and over. AXA agents are really polite but have no knowledge of the AXA health service and frusrate your efforts to claim until you give up. This strategy must work really well in saving money but they have lost my repeat business and recommendations. AXA have not once replied to the claim forms I sent them. The never reply to emails. The agents give you all the promises you need to hear to get off the phone,. but then you are left stuck when they fail to process it. Their only explanation is that they don't have staff which is really unfair as they should not be selling this service if they do not have the staff to provide for it.

Poor process / website

1) the intake for taking out the insurance is by phone, this is a very error prone process, which can be better done online by the customer himself. My address was entered wrongly and I had to make multiple corrections. 2) the online doctor cannot be activated in the first weeks. 3) the website is not very clear. Most asked for is the claim number, and your policy number, which is not visible in the messages or home page. 4) the website does not know whether your active, in typing a message you can be logged out. 5) many of the customer service are Indian, I find the accent sometimes difficult to follow. 6) the healthcare provider list they provided had my hospital double in there, one in China and the US, one was a wrong entry… quality control is clearly an issue. 7) for the same claim I was asked twice for the diagnosis from the doctor, it was entered with the wrong date the first time. 8) I pointed this out to the customer service 3 times and received 3 times the answer from each time a different person that they understood and would proceed anyway with translating the same diagnosis a second time and evaluating it again. 9) upon calling them the 4th time the customer service representative said she understood and apologised. Upon further questioning it was clear that she did not understood. Taking everything together this is a healthcare company with a bad website that feels like it was designed 2 decades ago, poor quality control, and a not efficient customer service that just drones on. They are nice and apologise a lot. My advice for AXA, redevelop your process, and get rid of the focus on individual customer service. I dont like to having to evaluate the customers service and their individual hobbies. This is just an excuse to not have to look to the process you have. Reviewed on: 4th January 2024
