Vitality Health Insurance reviews (205)

Confusing policies, dishonest behaviour

1
I was initially very pleased to be their customer and signed up for myself and my daughter. In their policy it is stated that they provide "full cover for talking therapies" which was made clear to me both in written and over the phone. As a matter of fact, this was one of the reasons why I subscribed. When I raised a claim they said they will not cover anything before the 1,000 excess - even if 'My plan benefits' clearly states otherwise. I raised a complaint to no avail. Even if the amount claimed is insignificant, It seems that they are challenging their customers' intelligence by making up unimaginable excuses to avoid honouring the agreement. On the positive side, their representatives are kind and educated. I am raising it with the financial ombudsman now and in the search of a new provider. I really wish it hadn't turn out this way.

Cinema vouchers don't work.

I have to ask my employer to change this company., all the benefits look like a scam, nothing works Reviewed on: 3rd October 2023

Cinema vouchers don't work. Support a joke.

1
2 Odeon cinema voucher codes have not worked. Contacting Vitality customer support is the most frustrating experience ever. I have sent countless messages and they act like they don't understand my simple query. When giving them the message references they give me, for some reason this is not enough for them to know who I am or what my query is about. Reviewed on: 29th September 2023

Shockingly bad, even for an insurance company

1
Vitality will do everything they can to delay your claim. Maybe they think if they continuously delay you will get fed up and use the NHS instead. Delaying tactics they have used: Repeatedly asking for the consultants letter which they have been sent multiple times. Claiming they have never received it despite getting confirmation emails and verbal confirmation that it was received. Asking your consultant to complete an additional form. Asking your GP to complete a form, for which you will have to pay. Promising to call you back but never call. Reviewed on: 29th September 2023

Horrendous company DO NOT USE. Used

1
Horrendous company DO NOT USE. Used through my work 'benefit' package, and treatment is declined for no reason. Having to follow legal route and reported to FCA poor practise and acting in bad faith. It honestly feels like a scam to make money out of innocent people. will not be using again and have informed my work how atrocious everything about Vitality is. Also, their website, app and general user interface is clunky and confusing. DO NOT USE Reviewed on: 26th September 2023
