Everything went smoothly. Only issue was that operation code did not match the system so there was a slight delay. Hospital, staff, consultant and follow up were all excellent.

Not impressed

I have had occasion to use the services of AXA twice in the past 6 months. Both times I was referred to a list of consultants, only to find that they are not still with AXA and some whose rates are only covered by 60%. In both cases (1- for varicose veins 2- for suspected melanoma) I was unable to find a consultant within easy reaching distance. I ended up making an appointment with a consultant who is one hour's drive away. Not impressed.

We have had a very poor experience with AXA health.

The clinic, treatment and surgery, an particularly Surgeon were all excellent.

However, the administration and service from AXA particularly at the start of the process has added unnecessary stress and uncertainty throughout.

Almost nothing has been straightforward or handled in time without our intervention.

Billing has been incorrect and at times inaccurate, causing even more stress.

We have had to chase up follow-up treatments and appointments, for authorisation that should have been provided without our intervention. We do not feel like we have a satisfactory relationship with AXA.

I still do not understand why some post operative treatments are not included or only in part, when the seem to be covered under the policy?

Our experience was so poor that when faced with a different and unrelated need for surgery we stuck with the NHS and had a far better experience.

In fairness to AXA they did recognise that they had caused unnecessary stress and difficulties early in the process and sent a hamper by way of acknowledgement. However, our experience hasn't really improved from that point.

Overall, we would not recommend this company.

Didn’t like a customer service rep who I’m pretty sure I came across last year. On both occasions, I found his tone patronising and he lacked empathy. I was given an authorisation code for my claim and then was sent an email saying Ada needed more information. All after I had made appointments. You don’t need this when you’re feeling unwell and vulnerable.
