Very fast and efficient

Very fast and efficient. Only confusion was providing a leaflet on pathology and phlebotomy with no referencing. It made me think I needed a blood test. Otherwise all clear and concise.

Simply duplicates the GP referral & wastes your time

I had a referral GP letter from AXA to have a consultation with a specialist surgeon to discuss my hip issue. The told me to arrange with HBSUK. I completed (in great detail) all my notes pre video call & the consultant agreed to refer me for a hip injection. I then discovered, when trying to arrange this, he simply referred me to a face to face with a consultant near to me. So basically the exact same thing the original AXA GP did and I am no further forward. Seems like a complete waste of my time and the consultant's time. . HBSUK told me to call AXA To arrange this. AXA told me to call HBSUK. Nobody seems to know what this HBSUK service is beneficial for. All I know is that it added an unnecessary step that simply echoed what the GP referral did, and delay to me seeing a consultant face to face who CAN agree to the hip injection (even though the video HBSUK surgeon agreed to that). Not fit for purpose, sorry. If you are simply echoing a GP referral, this is not beneficial to anyone.

Offered me physio miles away and when I requested a nearby one they went silent. Have to jump through hoops to get anyone to answer and can’t get an authorisation code.
Don’t bother with them, awful private healthcare plan, you’d be better off with BUPA.
