The very best choice
I have been with so many different medical insurance companies such as Bupa, Aviva etc. Freedom is truly the best! I was only with them for two years and sadly I got deadly stage 4 cancer. Since then Freedom has been in total support and offered anything possible to help me even the treatment most of the companies will not approve, it even surprised my doctor. Choose Freedom, you will not be disappointed!

In one word, AVOID!
You are wasting your money as they will very rarely pay out. They always come up with excuses why not to pay and you will see even this review they will justify... just trust me and don't waste your money rather don't have insurance at all! On every claim they explain you that it can be managed through the NHS! What a joke? That's exactly why I have insurance.. cancel your policy with them right now as you are 100000% wasting your money. If you don't cancel you will learn it the hard way.
Updated. Multiple doctors have confirmed that this does not qualify as a pre-existing condition and should be covered. However, Freedom insists otherwise. Additionally, when I submitted a claim for my newborn son—where the pre-existing condition argument was not applicable—they stated that the matter could be handled by my NHS GP instead!

Hi Yosef,

Claims are assessed using the available information and the applicable policy terms and conditions. We are unable to discuss individual circumstances publicly, but please contact us on 01202 756350 or at info@fhi.co.uk if you would like to discuss your concerns directly.

Health Insurance is a Waste of Money
Like all insurance companies, Freedom Health Insurance and its partners use all their resources to find reasons not to pay out on their policies.
Every claim I have made has been knocked back, or they have only covered a fraction of the cost.
The response is not accurate, your employees insisted that your insurance partner (AXA) had a previous agreement with my Physo where he set his rates at £50/40 per session. I disputed this as my physio told me he had no agreements with any insurer and logically he would never set his rates so low. Freedom Health Insurers dug their heels in insisting they were correct, it was only when I left a review that I was paid in full.
As I said insurance companies will try anything not to pay out.

Hi Paddy,
We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify how our claims process works. Our goal is always to provide fair and transparent reimbursement in line with the terms of each policy.
It does appear however that your review was left prior to full payment being reimbursed to yourself and to the clinic.
After reviewing your policy, we can see that initially, we processed your claim based on standard billing agreements with our partners. However, once it was confirmed that the physiotherapy clinic was not contractually bound by our billing partner, we reimbursed the full claim amount in accordance with our policy terms.
We strive to ensure that all valid claims are handled fairly and efficiently, and we are glad that your claim was ultimately covered in full. If you have any further questions or require additional clarification, our team is always available to assist.
Kind Regards,
Freedom Health Insurance
Despicable treatment of a customer
If you take out a health insurance policy with Freedom health, make sure you do not make any claims! What they will do, is authorise your claims, and then when it comes time to renew, refuse further cover as your policy is not making them money, or in their words is a poorly performing policy. I now have to open a new policy with a new provider, and lose the ability to claim for any existing conditions, all thanks to Freedom Healths greed. Beware they dont see you as a person they see you as a monetary figure and if you have the misfortune to have to use the policy (Which is what you buy it for) then they refuse to renew. Disgusting, and unprecedented behaviour. Oh I called to discuss this, and no manager was available to discuss. I was promised an AM callback from someone called Rob. Rob has yet to call, although I am not interested in discussing it over the phone now. Never in my life have I been treated so contemptuously! I would really warn against anybody taking out a policy with this company. Rather go with one of the more established brands that are big enough not to have to offload customers if they feel they arent financially viable!

Dear Tarryn,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear about your experience and want to sincerely apologise for any frustration or disappointment caused. At Freedom Health Insurance, we strive to provide a fair and transparent service to all our customers, and we take your feedback very seriously.
Regarding your specific situation, we fully understand that insurance is there to be utilised when needed, and that is what it’s designed for. We are committed to honouring valid claims and supporting our customers in their times of need. However, as part of our efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of our policies, we occasionally have to make difficult decisions regarding renewals., particularly in cases where claim activity is significantly beyond the expected range of usage for the policy.
Please be assured that these decisions are never made lightly, but we must endeavour to balance the interests of all our policyholders and maintain affordability for the wider client base.
We understand your concerns about not being contacted by Rob and sincerely apologise for any confusion this may have caused. As per your request to no longer be contacted, we refrained from following up. However, we are more than happy to discuss your concerns further and clarify any misunderstandings.
We do value your feedback and if there’s anything we can do to assist, or if you’d like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at info@fhi.co.uk or call 0800 999 2013.
Kind Regards,
Freedom Health Insurance

Hopeless company
Hopeless company. They make claiming for treatment difficult by sending unhelpful emails containing misinformation.
They don't pay the full cost of treatment meaning you have to subside them. What is the point of private insurance if you have to subside the company?
The response made by Freedom is factually incorrect.

Rubbish service
Rubbish service, have to chase every claim. Then take 30 days to pay from when you claim is processed. Only use this company if you're forced to in a work benefits package. Far better experience with AXA.

One of the few providers that you get to speak to the same person for any queries rather than dealing with large or foreign based call centres and most importantly things get dealt with quickly and professionally.
