Hi Iann, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear how disappointing this has been, especially as this was your first time needing to use the service. We understand how frustrating it can be to find that the condition you need help with isn’t covered. We aim to keep membership as affordable as we can for all our members, which means there are limits to the treatments and services we’re able to provide, and unfortunately not everything is included.

We do outline the details of our services including what we can and can’t help with on our website here: www.benenden.co.uk/health/healthcare/#!overview

Instead, if you’d like to talk this through further, our team would be happy to look into your situation. You can contact us on 0300 304 5700 or email Complaints@benenden.co.uk with your membership details.

Best wishes,
Benenden Health.

Benenden Health has been very helpful…

Benenden Health has been very helpful on many occasions. Their procedure getting to the right, highly qualified consultants within a short time is painless. My last experience, a cataract operation, was no exception.
I was dreading the injection in the eye, but apart from a bit of pressure when the anaesthetic was administered, I didn't feel anything. The staff's behaviour at Kingsbridge hospital Belfast was professional, friendly and reassuring. I couldn't say anything negative about them or Benenden Health and have recommended Benenden Health to many people.
