I have used Simplyhealth for many years now and have found them excellent for claiming costs regarding healthcare... the app works well and is easy to use and payment is quick. I would recommend any time.

I recently made a claim for dental expenses. The claim process was so easy, and they paid out really quickly. Could not think of anything to improve the process!

From start to finish, the claims process was simple, straightforward and user-friendly. I have great visibility of what is included in the policy and the claim limits, it's easy to submit evidence, and my claims have been paid out within a few days.
