I can’t speak highly enough of Unum Insurance. The claims process was very easy, payment was made very quickly, and the customer service was extremely helpful.

Misled Customer

Dental started off well, received some claims.

Then had a pulp extraction, claimed under 'Extractions'. Received payment for my claims followed by an email a couple of days later stating they have incorrectly paid the reimbursement as it comes under 'Root Canal' and 'Extractions' are only for tooth extractions so I sent the payment back.

Checked the policy wording and nowhere does it state 'Tooth Extractions'.

I raised this with customer services, who did not answer my questions and instead forwarded my email to complaints department.

Complaints co-ordinator acknowledged my complaint and advised handler details.

It's been over 2 weeks now and no contact regarding my complaint at all. The complaints process advises there will be regular updates which is subjective.

Terrible experience and do not feel as a valued customer!

Dental work plan

I have a plan through my work and within a few days of claiming the money was right back into my account - Super easy and hassle free :)

Excellent!

Have had 3 claims in the last 4 weeks, all paid within 3 days of submitting the claim. Can’t fault their excellent customer service 😊

A simple request for reimbursement…

A simple request for reimbursement within policy that I have made repeatedly has turned into over 4 weeks of confusion, multiple touchpoints and absolutely no co-ordination across your teams - you also clearly do not respond to any correspondence within the database. Utter confusion despite a complaint being raised I received 3 more emails within 24 hours all clearly not knowing I had spent ages on the phone to you yesterday morning which resulted in the complaint being raised.

Tried to claim for various dental work.

Tried to claim for various dental work.
Apparently, any work you've had done more than a year ago is non claimable, no matter how long you've had the policy for, (2 years for me).
So I've paid out for their top tier service and received nothing back.
Will never use again. AVOID

Dental claim

Easy to make a claim with fast reimbursement. I also spoke to an advisor who demonstrated fabulous customer service.
