Dealing with health insurance companies…

Dealing with health insurance companies can be more painful than whatever condition sent you to the doctor in the first place!
One standout exception to the rule is Chelsea-Anne Walker, a wonderful Client Relations Team member at General & Medical. In all my many dealings with her she has gone above and beyond - she is thoughtful, careful and prompt and efficient. She has helped me hugely and I am very grateful. I can't commend her highly enough. Someone should give that woman a pay rise!

Ethan was amazing

Ethan was amazing. He reviewed my account and returned to me with a comprehensive explanation of my options, he did this in a very timely fashion.
He emailed the details to me and followed up with a phone call. He was polite and courteous and made me feel comfortable with my understanding of the cover available to me. Never once during my interactions with Ethan did I feel overwhelmed or undermined.
Ethan is a credit to General and Medical and I am grateful to him for his time and efforts.
