Benenden Healthcare

A question about : Benenden Healthcare

Hi

Just wondering if anyone is a member of Benenden Healthcare and if so what kind of experiences they have had with them? Debating whether to join or not??

Best answers:

• I am a member and have found them great. Thank goodness have not had to use them much but when we did it was very seamless. My colleagues recommended them to me and I am glad they did. I would be happy to recommend.
• I have used them twice, had my gallbladder out and used them to jump the waiting list for a consultant. Appt was for next day!
  Excellent customer service, no excess fees and very easy to to talk to.
  I could not fault them at all.
• How does it compare pricewise to Bupa? I have joint membership through the OH but it's a taxable benefit.
• We lost private healthcare in work, so I went Benenden, haven't had the misfortune to use them yet but they're very reasonable to pay and so far all dealings with them have been very professional
• Many thanks for all your replies! Much appreciated & very helpful.
• There are a lot of things they don't cover and at that price - don't expect too much.
• Hi there, I am a member, but am seriously considering leaving as the hospital they use is in Ballykelly, and i live at the other end of the country. When I needed surgery it was unrealistic to go there and ask family to travel that distance to visit.
• don`t they use that one at the bottom of the Lisburn road near Balmoral?
• Good value for money. They do use both hospitals but ballykelly offers a wider range of surgeries. I had the misfortune to be operated on there last year. While benenden were great, the hospital wasn't. Had knee surgery and my follow up appointment consisted of me walking into the room and the surgeon commenting that I was moving a lot better and so that was me discharged!
• I have been a member for several years and they are extremely good value for money.
  They are professional, helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The reason they are such a reasonable price is that they are non-profit making.
  I have used both their GP line and the Ulster Independent Clinic.
• I really appreciate everyone's feedback! I have made the decision to join with a couple of my family members. Fingers crossed I won't need to use it. I have enquired about Bupa's prices but they are definitely out of my league! I know now that Benenden Healthcare is not like Bupa but for Ј8.19 a month I have came to the conclusion to give it a go.
• i've been a member for years and have used them several times. you get a very quick 1st appointment, MRI scans if needed are within 7-10 days, minor surgery is less than 4 weeks.I find it best for quick diagnoses really. ive had surgery in ulster independent and daughter had sinus op in ballykelly with no complaints
