Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we're sorry to hear you haven't found the benefits in our membership. As you know, we are one of the most affordable private healthcare providers, with membership costing only £15.85 per month. For the range of services included — GP and mental health support, diagnostics, physiotherapy, and some surgical treatments — we believe this represents strong value for money. We don’t offer every type of surgery because we need to remain financially sustainable for all members, and some procedures are simply too costly to provide within this model. In addition, certain surgeries remain accessible through the NHS. If you'd like to speak to a member of our team about your feedback, you can call us on 0300 304 5700. Best wishes, Benenden Health.

Excellent service

Getting an answer to an issue I had without having to jump through hoops and fill out numerous forms only to be told no appointments available. Assured me that although he didn't think it was anything sinister i should have it looked at by a specialist. Gave me his thoughts on what should happen, for me to then take to my GP, I have now got a GP appointment, albeit in 3 weeks but at least I have a appointment. Thank you Benenden for being there when needed, which is more than I can say for the NHS.

Lengthy NHS cardiology waiting lists

Having waited for 10 months for NHS treatment, I was immediately approved by Benenden for cardio diagnostic tests. I saw a cardiologist within days of my contacting Benenden. The diagnosis was confirmed within days & I was referred to the NHS who then took over my care. I am very grateful to Benenden.
