Simple to navigate the site
Simple to navigate the site. Good choice of hospitals near to where I live. Online face to face appointment with doctor, who then sanction my consultation. The appointment took approximately 1 week, then my treatment followed on.

Please don’t use this insurance
Please don’t use this insurance. They are not straightforward with their insurance policies.
I had surgery in dec 2024 , unfortunately the Doctor sent some paperwork to the insurance in jan 2025 so they decided to increase my policy for 2026 for something I did in 2024. Im going to terminate my contract and move to BUPA.

Income Protection team awful
Awful experience with the income protection team, I got through to a ‘senior assessor’ who sounded like they hadn’t been there long and by their tone of voice, they weren’t happy to be there either! Spoke about helping out other team mates and rushing through work. Not reassuring at all

Very poor
Very poor. At a time of sickness when you need your health insurance company to provide quick answers and support - the Exeter fails miserably. Agrees to cover a new medical condition but then dallies over whether it is appropriate to cover the treatment. I would urge prospective clients to look elsewhere.

Even they admit they have poor customer service
I have been with The Exeter for a while and to start with was quite happy with the level of customer service (hence two, rather than one star). Unfortunately this has deteriorated significantly over time, however. We claimed for something recently and the customer support was poor - quoting a magic exclusion clause that apparently they cant publish or make available in their terms and conditions - you just have to trust them. The customer service agents lacked empathy and failed to take the action they had promised to take - constantly having to be chased. I made an official complaint - which they upheld with regards to poor customer service, although their only recommended remedy was that they would share feedback internally - which I doubt will be of little effect if it happens at all. Their response was simply indicative of the lack of importance they attach to customer service. They have made me feel that as a company they are untrustworthy and that their customer service agents lack training as well as empathy and other basic customer service skills. Now it is time for renewal and, even though they have officially agreed that they have demonstrated poor levels of customer service - surely a key term in any healthcare insurance offering - they have suggested a 50% increase in premiums (notwithstanding they refused to cover the issue that lead to the complaint). Perhaps that is their way of dis-incentivizing negative feedback? Needless to say, I wont be renewing with them.

Hi TDT, I am really sorry to hear of your experience. I can see that you have not received the level of customer service that I would hope for on this occasion. I would like to reassure you that we do take feedback seriously and by having gone through the complaints process, where feedback can be given to individual agents or whole teams to improve service, this process will have been followed. Without your policy information, I am not able to investigate further the reasons behind why were not able to authorise your claim this time. If your policy was on Standard Moratorium terms, then you would be underwritten at the point of claim and pre-existing conditions would be classed as any symptoms, treatment, medication or advice in the 5 years prior to your policy start date. With this particular underwriting if you had a two year continuous trouble free period, after your policy start date where for that pre-existing condition you did not have symptoms, treatment, medication or advice, we would then look to cover you. If your policy was on full medical underwriting, any personal exclusions would have been advised on your policy certificate. General policy exclusions are always provided in your policy documentation at the start of your policy. If you did wish to discuss this further, Our Member Servicing Team is open Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm on 0300 123 3201 or alternatively you can email us at member@the-exeter.com. If you would prefer to contact the claims team directly, they are open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm on 0300 123 3253 or you can email them at pmi-claims@the-exeter.com. Many thanks Jessica, Member Servicing Specialist.
Beware of difficulties accessing healthcare
I will shortly be moving my insurance as the service (apart from one call handler) is shocking. Unnecessary delays, questioning on why i used their own gp service rather than nhs, being told we are lucky to have nhs and I should use them in the interim of delays. Just shocking delays - been waiting a week for details of consultants approved whilst my daughter is in pain and still no response which is outside of their own timeframes. I would urge caution

Poor administration & communication
My wife was given the go ahead to discuss a new hip with claim code number. She does not remember being told to phone again after consultation - Exeter did not email any confirmation/instructions OR contact her when accounts received for operation when they thought there was no authorisation for this. Complaint of bad handling of claim has not resulted in any answer, it has just been ignored!

Bad customer service
Out first effort to make a claim was met with appalling customer service that seemed right from the get go to seek to avoid paying
Have never had this experience with suppliers I have used historically
I called to discuss this as requested and the call merely served to make matters worse
Oh and btw when you sign up you are told you get some free physio appointments
After you have joined you find out this is just on line
The app is awful and this has been by some margin the worst private health insurance experience of my life

My last experience was a nightmare
My last experience was a nightmare. Highly unsatisfactory. Initially I had difficulties with the NHS and Exeter referred me to a helpline which was frankly useless and unapologetic over its failure to assist. My issue remains unresolved. I will have to pay to sort it out myself.

Hi Duncan, I’m really sorry to hear of your experience. Usually our claims team will refer you to the HealthWise service if you need to obtain a GP referral letter to start your claim. This can be a useful option if you are experiencing a long waiting time through the NHS GP. The HealthWise app is a free member benefit that is available to all our members, and it is serviced through a third party provider company called Square Health. I am sorry that they have not provided you with the level of service that we would expect and we would really appreciate the opportunity to try and resolve this issue for you. If you are happy to do so, please could you contact our Member Servicing Team with your policy information on 0300 123 3201. We are open Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm. Alternatively you can email us at member@the-exeter.com. If you would prefer to contact the Square Health team directly, their contact information is 0330 8221776.
