In this past insurance year I have gone through a very serious health issue. Vitality have approved all my specialists, sometimes within minutes, having gone over and beyond to provide me with expert health at what was a very difficult time for me and my family. Insurance is something we have, not because we want to use it, but for that often surprise, perhaps catastrophic moment, when we need it; I am so greatful to Vitality for their part in getting me to see the specialists that I needed.

Crooks

Crooks Crooks. They are there not to pay anything other than the salaries of the employees, their CEO and advertisers. Beyond the fact that they will never pay for any claim you need to wait for 2 hours to talk to them after waiting 1 hour for someone to pass you to someone else and then wait for 1 hour more They hope you will give up. They should be audited immediately by the regulator, they are providing no service for the money they receive. I can start an insurance company my self like that. They are nothing, just crooks.

More (empty) promises from Vitality

More (empty) promises from Vitality Again for the third day, promises (from Laura Smith, Abby, Namrata, Kalpana, Shreyasi, Kajal among others!) for a call back that never comes (admittedly they didn't say which year it would be) I've tried WhatsApp, email, Face Book - lots of promises - but nothing else. I would strongly advise against taking health insurance with them. Reviewed on: 25th October 2021

Avoid

This company is a scam. They do not cover you for 95% of what goes on. I tried for 7 days to get through to customer service for an appointment. I had to go through 3 different numbers, a web chat and email. Calls requested were not returned and nobody seems to want to help or know anything about what you query. I was cut off after 15 minutes on multiple calls. Told that they don’t cover you in most cases, not just preexisting comditions. If you have ever experienced a symptom, you won’t be covered. Trouble is, if you have ever had a stomach pain or headache for whatever reason, you’re not covered because it was before your plan. The app for rewards doesn’t work and you have to continually ask for them to manually upload steps you do. Do not go with this company. Reviewed on: 20th October 2021

Utter waste of money.

Sounds fabulous when signing up but tried using online gp( 5 day wait ) , daughter had terrible rash wanted to see a dermatologist, they diagnosed her on the phone with chronic acne..it was an allergic reaction as saw nhs gp. You are covered for literally nothing when you try phone up. Website is worst usable ever, utterly confusing and literally a minefield. For my premiums I could have seen several private gps, bought 2 i watches and all the coffees, I couldn’t claim from nero ( another website that was terrible , and still had change from £2000.. Avoid. Reviewed on: 7th October 2021

AVOID

I note all the reviews about Waitrose vouchers , great chatty customer services, a wonderful experience setting up a direct debit..... read the comments regarding making a claim , they will firstly try and put you off suggesting your premium will go up then they will send you a ten page document for your GP and advise your GP will charge you then they will advise your excess, if you not already ill , you will be after that drama , customer services ask you to leave reviews , read the reviews POST CLAIM , avoid like the plague Reviewed on: 29th September 2021

Hidden agendas

I read all the reviews suggesting great friendly service , that's clearly pre - claim , please read the reviews POST CLAIM, they are a gang that don't want to pay out when you need them, your health matters NOT Reviewed on: 29th September 2021

Con artists

My wife has been suffering hip pain and requested consultation to investigate. Vitality have refused, claiming the condition is pre-existing. This is untrue. We have obtained a GP letter to confirm the issue is new but they still refuse to support. Happy to take the premium but won't provide the service we are paying for. Totally fraudulent. Do not buy! Reviewed on: 9th September 2021

Joke of a company who will avoid paying out at all costs!

Do not take a policy out with this company! We have been paying our premiums in full and on time for years. I needed to make a claim this year to be told they won't pay me out and have cancelled our policy with no return of premiums paid! They find any excuse to negate a claim and really should not be allowed to practise! They are all helpful when taking out the policy but will make it impossible to claim. Reviewed on: 26th August 2021

Given a death sentence

Been paying these people for years, got cancer and they denied the claim... they say heavy periods two years prior was a pre existing condition, despite the gp and consultant saying it was totally unrelated and has absolutely no relatable connection whatsoever to this form of cancer... anyway, they denied and now won’t get treatment due to covid for months. This company is vile.... I can’t stress how vile they are. They seemingly took pleasure in denying the claim, I learned later that this denial meant the claims adjuster gets a bonus, VILE If I survive this I will be surfing these vile people.

Vitality denies surgery claims

Vitality supposedly covers dental surgery but they denied my impacted wisdom-tooth claim, despite it meeting their criteria of "surgical removal of impacted teeth or partially erupted teeth" and "complicated buried roots.". I think they are a marketing company, not an insurance company, they exist to sell you more things. Their health incentives are appealing, so you may have a fun experience -- if you never get ill.
