Global Health Reviews 

Refuses to pay, even when therapies or measures are prescribed by a doctor and (possibly) life-saving. This health insurance company processes reimbursement requests very slowly or not at all. Only small reimbursements are paid out quickly and without complications (therefore 2 stars). Larger bills (hospital, major examinations) are ALWAYS a nuisance. Foyer seems to be a very large company, there are many subdivisions who do not seem to be well coordinated (in Luxembourg, in France, in Munich; the company itself seems to be in Canada).

I use Foyer Global since many years for my family. We have been to various countries and Foyer Global remains a trusted partner on our side.

Absolute NO GO. I had a medical emergency and NOTHING worked. Assistance is outsourced to Europ Assistance which is 100% usless. We had to locally organize everything ourselves, at our own expense after we got a written confirmation about all expenses being covered as they are not capable of organizing assistance (in an established international tourist region). Later they refused to pay a large part of what they hat previously confirmed in written form.
Do yourself a favor and choose a different provider.

Excellent service.

The reimbursement process was very smooth and efficient. I've had healthcare insurance from other providers in the past, but none were as efficient as Le Foyer.

Always super responsive! Claims are easy and we’ve always had them processed and paid out within a couple of days. Been with Foyer for 2 years, and they’ve been the best health insurance company we've used. They’re a bit more expensive than others, but your cover and the quality of the service is well worth it. 10/10 in my books! 👌

Foyer Team is very clear in their communications and documentation. The process of clam reimbursement is simple and ease.

Excellent service and quick reimbursements

Simple and easy submission of documents on the online portal.
Effective and clear feedback through the portal that the claim was in process and when it was reimbursed.
Other questions asked were answered with 2 days, with clear answers.

Worst experience ever for my expat insurance in China. Avoid at all costs. Unlike many other insurance companies no direct billing available with major clinics. First you have to pay your Foyer insurance premiums, next you have to pay for the invoices from clinics. When you submit your Invoice for reimbursment you receive an automatic reply that your claim will be processed as soon as possible. Weeks are passing, no reply and no chance to have any update on the progress. Same automated reply from claims email. WhatsApp clerk would read your messages and just ignore them. Wish I could read all the reviews before appling for Foyer's insurance.

A fabulous and reliable health insurance. I have been very happy with the claim handling and communication. Customers can choose different insurance categories according to their needs. I have been able to see consultants in various countries as I have two residences and occasionally live in the Uk but sometimes see doctors in Germany or France. Foyer allows this flexibility.

Foyer Global Health Insurance upon on your reply it shows you haven't read my feedback, as well, your reply seems to be standard. Until now, I have not heard nor got an email from your company.

Won't recommend Mayfair - Le Foyer insurance! Stay away and go with Alliance or Bupa!

Their customer support is a nightmare, same with their policy not clear what isn't covered. The policy terms have only been sent after I asked for it, as well, it's full of loop holes in their interest.

Caution: The detailed terms aren't send mentadory in the first contact nor when you get the customer contract.

They ask you: to pay upfront, upload the invoice with the diagnosis.

My first claim: Had an issue with suddenly skin rashes and migraines.

Below is an example as proof, declined without any furhter information provided from their side nor the policy terms:

Please note your claim adjudicated per policy term. Unfortunately, we are unable to cover Migraine and Skin Rash disorder condition as per policy exclusion.

Kindly find below the policy excerpt for your perusal.

31. Arising from epilepsy, migraines and narcolepsy.

33. Arising from disorders of the skin; corns, calluses, etc

I trust this clarifies and regret that we are unable to help you in this instance.

Thanks and Regards,

I have no complaints and just recommend this company

Horrendous claims process. As others have said, you have to upload stacks of papers. Every GP or specialist appointment needs to be accompanied with a letter explaining the purpose of the visit. Even with this and a detailed invoice, claims are often arbitrarily denied - often without reason and just stating “not in policy terms” - which is patently untrue.

For any new condition - e.g. visit to a doctor for back pain - they ask for your entire medical record. This is even if you have a moratorium and haven’t claimed for it within those years. As global expats, often you don’t have a “family” doctor who you see consistently so this makes a farce of the whole situation. I’ve provided my medical record before joining foyer and had letters from my doctor stating they’ve never seen me for the condition before, yet still claims denied. If you try to contact them for help you get no reply whatsoever - absolutely none.

Claims take roughly 6 weeks to process (or to get the first query returned) and have done for the entire time I have had my policy (c. 5 years) so this isn’t a new issue. MD always giving interviews about their digital transformation but everything is still done via scanned PDF. Outpatient cashless is non-existent as they don’t have a network. Absolutely useless. Save yourself the hassle and go with a reputable name - Cigna, Aetna, AXA etc.

I am incredibly disappointed with Foyer Health Group Insurance and their lack of responsiveness, particularly given the time-sensitive nature of health insurance issues. I have been waiting for almost two weeks to receive any response from them to my emails, and it's very frustrating.

As a health insurance provider, Foyer Health Group should understand the importance of timely communication, especially when dealing with matters that can have serious consequences for customers' health and well-being. The lack of timely responses to emails is unacceptable and can lead to unnecessary stress and uncertainty.

In addition to their poor communication, I have encountered several technical issues on their website. I have been unable to download important documents such as my contract, which only adds to the frustration and lack of transparency that I've experienced with this company.

Moreover, Foyer Health Group did not withdraw my payment on time, and I had to remind them to do so. Interestingly, they responded quite quickly in this instance, demonstrating their ability to provide prompt service when it benefits them, but not when it comes to addressing the concerns of their customers.

Overall, I cannot recommend Foyer Health Group Insurance due to their unresponsiveness, lack of transparency, and unreliable website. This is a company that customers should approach with caution, as their poor service could lead to unnecessary complications and stress in dealing with health insurance matters.

They are legit and paid for all my claims, therefore, I am very happy with my service. Good luck :-)

Like others have said already, their reimbursement process is very chaotic and non-transparent in my view. Everything takes a very long time and remarks on the reimbursement requests in their Online Portal seem to be ignored or not paid attention to… Sometimes claims are declined stating that they need medical files from the previous health insurance dating back up to four years.
I once had a situation where I urgently needed to do a CT scan and wanted to know whether the costs will be reimbursed eventually. I contacted their Whatsapp number only to hear four hours after the CT scan took place “Sorry, I was in a meeting and just saw your message.” It also surprised me that they are not even using a Whatsapp Business Account.
When I was interested in this insurance in the very beginning there were like 3-4 to sales people chasing me and sending me multiple emails. Sadly, once you are insured with them, at least per my experience, you will face a wall of silence to all your remarks and questions. The only thing that works like clockwork is them sending you your monthly invoice.

You always have to wait ages for bills getting paid. Also they mess them up all the time. They have a huge chaos, often they decline something, and then apprive afterwards. My account is a big mess because they dont have structure
