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.

I have been with AXA for a few years.

I have been with AXA for a few years now and they have always responded well to any health concerns I have, including Doctor on line. The costs continue to rise every year by a fair amount, its now above the limit of what I can afford since I am retired.

However sometimes it is difficult to get and appointment with one of the consultants AXA recommend. On one occasion I had a 2-3 month wait otherwise I could source my own consultant which I did and AXA covered the costs.

Axa have always been amazing for me

Axa have always been amazing for me. I have a range of ongoing medical issues at the moment and for the past few years and AXA have always made the process as smooth and easily as possible. As you know when you are struggling with health issues the last thing you want is the stress of the admin side of things, however AXA couldn’t be more helpful. You can ring their direct number and speak to a person and get through fairly quickly. They are always professional and always go above to help. Thank you so much

I went into Spire Solihull to have a left leg full Hip Replacement.

I went into Spire Solihull to have a left full hip replacement, the stay was very comfortable considering the Op I had, the staff were great & responded within minutes when I needed them, plenty of choice on the food, & I was on my way home in less than 48 Hours.
I am now 3 weeks post Op & feeling great. I Highly recommend if you need surgery.

Claim Authorsiation given but uncertainty follows

My claim was generally handled well , especially on my initial enquiry and to obtain my claim authorisation and claim number , which was a few weeks before my procedure in mid May. However although my claim " was agreed" , I was subsequently sent various emails asking for more information and the wording of the emails implied my claim was still being considered ( even after a claim authorisation had been issued by yourselves !!)- which was both worrying and very stressful. When you're facing major surgery, you want certainty and clarity at the earliest point of your claim. In my view this aspect of your claim process needs to be improved to reassure claimants after a claim has been approved , not create doubt or confusion. The invoicing and post operation communications were generally very good and clear, which meant I could fully concentrate on my recovery.
As I say overall my claim was processed pretty well but that post authorisation stage needs fixing as it's not overly customer centric.

Avoid if you can

If they can find any excuse to say no to your treatment they will and say that NHS should be able to provide your treatment. Then my question, why do I pay for private health care in the first place? Terrible one avoid if possible. In my case I can't because it's the only one provided by the company.

Hi, Lucas
Thank you for leaving us your feedback. Unfortunately, in some cases, the treatment you are referred for may not be eligible under your plan as although it might be required medically, the policy rules do still exist alongside this. If you are in any doubt, please call your claims team and they can explain to you any reasons behind not covering tests or treatment.
if you would like us to look into anything further for you, please feel free to contact us directly at onlineresponseteam@axahealth.co.uk

Lily.
