Review of the Vitality, Health Insurance:

Avoid at all cost, better Health Companies out there!!

My Company decided to give it a go and enroll this year with Vitality, for the past 15 years we used mainly Axa ppp and other providers such Bupa. These big companies are expensive however they take the stress away in terms of approving claims or consultations. Never had problems in the past. Unfortunately for me Vitality so far only offered a poor service. As other reviewers mentioned the amount informations requested plus involving GP on obtain records only elongate the process; reason why people use Private health insurance is to actually avoid these long wait to see a GP and been referred as soon as possible.Just so you know if you ask your Gp to fill up the records forms it will take up to 4 weeks and also you have to pay a fee to your surgery. So you might be quicker booking an appointment with your Gp than fill these forms !!! The frustrating part is the fact we took the full package from vitality and covering also existing condition however at the time of the switch you must forecast if you might have present conditions that might develop into something that requires additional consultations, basically they will do everything in their power to avoid claims!! So to everyone thinking to switch to Vitality ]bear in mind that you might encounter issue when making a claim. By the way my referral was approved by Vitality online GP and still wants more informations by my Gp, Definitely no worth the stress on taking a cheaper Company which only interest is on saving money.

Cheap for a reason

Joined them from BUPA. Three months into policy experienced onset of osteoarthritis in hand. BUPA would have beeline phone call and an authorisation number. Vitality - ages to answer the phone, told to submit claim over the internet, too to fill in Claim report to be sent by snail mail, now told claim has to emanate from an NHS GP (not true). Communications not returned. Customer operators don't seem to know a thing. Eventually paid for treatment privately, cancelled policy and returned to BUPA Reviewed on: 5th July 2016

Excellent Preventative Healthcare Product

Bought a vitality core cover Health insurance product and it gives me a good pay back when ever I go for gym and when I bought some fresh veg. products. Great offerings. Thanks guys for the innovative products. Reviewed on: 5th November 2015

Product is great but it is so badly compromised by a contempt for customer service

What a great product! Innovative and imaginative and lots of potential. Obviously the sheer effort of coming up with this wore these guys out however, for they decided to merge the great product with a devastatingly bad level of customer service - at least on personal plans. I have a history of basic questions not being answered, a creaky and awful email service and a default setting of "the customer must not be helped" Luckily I have not had to make a claim, if my health fails.... well I just hope customer services and claims handling do not work from the same manual. I like the concept and still persist with it despite the appalling service. But as a Managing Director of a company I cannot dare inflict this on my employees as our preferred health scheme. It will destroy motivation. Reviewed on: 25th July 2015

I would never need to look elsewhere

Vitality offer me everything I could ever want, with amazing customer service whenever I have had to contact them. I would never need to look elsewhere for my health insurance. Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 21st May 2015
