They lure you in with "free" apple watch or "free" coffee but they are the worst when you actually need them. They will find every way not to treat you. You will wait for ages for them to call you even if you have an appointment. If they decide to offer a diagnosis of your problem, they will send you a looooong form via email that you need to fill print, sign, take to gp, and send back to them. Absolotely rubbish!

My goodness if only I’d seen these reviews prior to joining. I concur with every comment, all they want is your money and 100% not interested in you or your health. Thankfully now left them and all their false promises.

Paid 6 months worth of health insurance payments, and now had a health issue so needed to start a claim to be told they have no clinics available so sent me to my NHS GP. When I complained and they agreed to refer me to a partner hospital, I have been told as I haven’t made 2 years of payments they won’t cover my claim. And even then only to the value of £1000. I am now either stuck in an NHS queue or will pay privately but have paid a fortune to vitality for absolutely nothing. Disgusting!! They should have their license removed and refund all customers they are are fraudsters and should be ashamed

Write a reviewWill look for any reason not to cover your claim
Do not give your money to Vitality, they will not help you out when you need them to. Their claim review process is designed to cause delay, and then they look for any reason not to cover your claim. Disappointing and distressing.

Write a reviewTruly awful experience
The two times I’ve tried to use their services I can honestly say the we had to give up on them and use the nhs. Paying a company money to give worse service than the nhs? What a mistake. After only six months I’ve had to complain 3 times.

Write a reviewThe worst organisation I have ever dealt with.
They care nothing for their clients,using every means possible to stall progress or claims .Time scales are totally unacceptable. A disgraceful organisation. Big mistake to get involved with this third rate set up.

Just a heads up, if you use your VitalityHealth health insurance they'll most likely end up paying less than 10% of the cost of your treatment, or won't pay any of it. So they don't actually save you any money.
They'll pay a small portion of a consultation (but you'll still have to pay a large excess ~£100), and then they'll find arbitrary reasons to not cover the actual treatment. They'll also make the whole process unclear and unnecessarily complicated. It's quicker, cheaper and more effective to just use the NHS.
And VitalityHealth, please don't reply to this review... I've already spoken to your customer service team who have confirmed with me verbally and on email that they don't cover basic healthcare.
PLEASE take my advice; save your money or choose a different private health insurance provider.Reviewed on 20th June 2022Johan Van Der Steen

Vitality pays a maximum of £35 Per session for physiotherapy. It seems odd to me that Homeopathy (£25) is closer in price to it than Podiatry (£55)!?!? Physiotherapy is an evidence based and regulated profession!
Vitality customers lose out as they can’t access their local experienced expert. Most good clinics won’t accept this low fee. And rightly so!
Vitality’s bullying tactics towards clinics only encourages a race to the bottom. All they do is drive down the quality of what a vitality customers can access. In the end the customer will be left with nothing more than 20 minutes in a tiny room with an inexperienced novice new graduate physio.

Took out a policy about 2 months ago, but recently have had chest problems and back problems, due to my weight. My bmi is 53 and my GP suggested I have a gastric operation but when I called vitality then said you need to be on insurance policy for minimum 12 months before a claim can be made and I don't meet age requirements, even though my gp said get it done. They kept me on hold for 53minutes before even answering my call.
Just don't bother they even dont have a small print saying what I can and can't claim against and t&c.

Terrible company, regretting to switching to them in January, I was with Aviva and could not complain but switched to Vitality as they offered me better deal.
Very bad decision I made. Problems to put a claim, imbeciles who does not nothing on the first phone line, managers who are only polite and still not doing anything.
You can go in circles with them and still won’t put a claim through. Currently 2.5 months after a fall backwards and still no authorisation code to get treatment!!!!
Even my referral is saying all information they bouncing back with the same emails asking for the same information regarding my fall. They are first to take you money but last one to provide you with a treatment. I am regretting the day i decided to switched to them. AVOID !!!Reviewed on 28th May 2022J Wlodarczyk

This company seems to concentreate on its' wellbeing and rewards side of things more than its' health cover service. I regret switching to them two yearss ago and have just closed our accounts with them. Hard or impossible to open a claim via the website and one is faced with interminable delays when trying to phone to speak to a human. If you do eventually get through, you are passed from pillar to post (more delays!) and helpful advice is non-existant. Caring they are not!

I've literally just cancelled my direct debit today. I have been with vitality for a year. I needed to see a Vitality GP, fully booked.. Tried the face to face GP service at a £20 fee, appointments in central London only could figure out how to progress with this so phoned customer service for advice, 73 minute wait!. Called the GP advice line, not available. I mean really whats the point. I got an appointment with NHS GP. Don't go near, try other Health Insurance providers. The service is non existent with this lot!

My husband lost his job so we couldn’t afford to pay for the insurance anymore. I called in to cancel it. The woman on the line was so rude. I was told that the policy was cancelled and we wouldn’t get charged for the next bill. I still got money taken out. It’s been nearly a month, still no money refunded. Email customer service and no response…..Reviewed on 2nd May 2022Matt S

When you call them you will be bouncing around different departments and been asked the same details on an on with very little help. I suggest you spend some more money and get a proper insurance like Axa or similar

MIght as well stick to your GP or A&E. Their process takes forever, no-one is available quickly to authorise any care. Avoid at all cost. I've been with them for 2 years and my attempt to claim has been an awful experience.
