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.

Can only say positive things

I have had to use the service a fair amount over three years and cannot fault it. The staff are always extremely helpful and the systems are pretty easy to use and navigate. Can only say positive things so far!

When I contacted AXA was advised that my plan was an old one and New plans offered wider cover at a slightly reduced premium. The advisor was very thorough going through all the options. Would have given 5* but think the fact that AXA definitely offered a better plan should have been raised in the renewal letter

Poor service

1. Insisting that I print a form, obtain the dentist's wet signature and post the form to you. I felt this was a bit old-fashioned, adding delay to the process.

2. Approving the cost of the treatment, but the day before the operation telling the hospital that we're not covered. This resulted in unnecessary stress.

3. When I called and asked for confirmation in writing, this was followed up with a response using standard text which didn't reflect our phone conversation.

For the extortionate price paid each month I find it very disappointing that you all aspects are now farmed out to different companies and you need countless apps.
I pride myself on being tech savvy but I find it increasingly more difficult to remember which app in need for specific parts of the treatment.

Hi, Matt
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear you have been unhappy with your recent experience with us. We try to provide a smooth service and regret you felt this was not the case. The online service is part of the solution we have found to help our members by offering different way of contacting us. We appreciate it might not be convenient for all of our members. The pathway's offered by our provider HBSUK is an option we offer to our members to obtain an assessment of your condition as our advisors are not medically trained. If this route is not convenient, we can accept referral from NHS GP. Your feedback is important to us and we hope that the next time you need us we will meet your expectations. If you would like us to look into anything further for you, please contact us directly at onlineresponseteam@axahealth.co.uk
Kind regards,
Lily.

Too long

It took such a long time, over 2 months, for AXA to find me a consultant to see who specializes in the aspect that I needed. Time and time again I was given consultant names who did not specialize in what I needed

3 cheers for the personal touch from Axa

I was concerned about the large increase in my monthly premiums. I spoke to gentleman called Jeff who went through my policy with me and found ways to reduce my premium without compromising my cover. He was polite, friendly and helpful without being over assertive allowing the final decision to be mine once I had all the information.
I am always nervous about this type of business phone call but I came away relieved, happy and grateful that I had spoken to a friendly human rather than a computer. My call to AXA was a pleasant experience

A legalized scam, truly

I cannot stress enough that all AXA do is forward you to this scam company called Doctor at Hand. They don't do anything without a "referral" from a "GP" at Dcotor at Hand. Doctor at hand have specifically been told to send people to the NHS and to A&E. You can see it during appointments, they are there just to divert you and keep you from using the services that you pay for. I miss Bupa every single month. If you can, avoid avoid avoid.
