Quick and simple to make claims
Quick and simple to make claims, and trouble free. Highly recommended.
Reducing value and no interest in providing a service
I was a 'Clear Continuation' customer with the highest available level of cover for several years after my retirement.
Year on year the return from the policy has reduced in relation to the cost, to the point where a treatment cost £1500 will only result in a £600-£700 payout.
My cancellation phone call summed up the current state of UNUM. The agent didn't even ask why I was cancelling. Either he already guessed or more likely, didn't care.

Not good enough compared to competitors
The customer service is pleasant enough but honestly the portal and offerings are rubbish. My company moved us from simply health who are absolutely brilliant and UNUM isn’t in the same league. If you try and claim a prescription they make you submit a document from your pharmacist proving who the prescription is for. They won’t accept the label on the medication itself as proof. Make it make sense. The app/portal is also super clunky and making a claim is horrible compared to my previous experience. I’ll definitely be feeding back to my company and hoping they change back.

Very disappointing experience with this…
Very disappointing experience with this insurance company.
My initial claim was declined, and I had to contact my dentist several times as the claim was repeatedly rejected for different reasons.
More recently, I submitted two separate claims for treatments received on different dates and provided statement from my dentist as supporting evidence. However, the insurer requested additional confirmation from the dental practice to verify that the payments were made on different dates.
I find it concerning that the insurer does not appear to accept the documentation already provided by the dental surgery. Despite submitting the required evidence, my claims were rejected outright.
Based on my experience, I would advise others to carefully review the policy terms and claims process before choosing this insurer.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Currently been titrated for a medical condition, Unum denied claim, didn't even quote my specialist, just said GP records didn't indicate anything - yet specialist was very clear.
It appears that the Unum Deny and Delay tactic from the USA is coming over here.

Policies have changed to be pretty terrible vs last year. No longer worth it, 70% of my company have withdrawn from the dental plans.
