### 3/5 — Customer Service

*2026-02-10, version 16.17.0*

Hard to get a hold of and needs chat function in mobile app, for all policy holders.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2024-03-05*

Claims tab always takes too long to load. No history or status of submitted claims, so no idea if they’ve received them or processing etc. rewards page may as well not exist.

Benefits levels showing are good, but a lot of improvements needed

### 3/5 — Reward function doesn’t work

*2023-09-04*

The reward function always doesn’t work. I had to delete and reinstall the app each time I need to use it.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother with this insurer!

*2023-08-25*

The process to take out a policy is easy enough through your company but if you want to cancel then it can take forever to get this processed.

Called and emailed multiple times to have policy cancelled as I have left the company that I worked for. GU Health are still charging me and are refusing to cancel the policy. 

If I where you I would take out a policy with another provide but steer clear of GU Health and the parent company NIB as they don’t care about the customer.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-08-24, version 12.7*

App fails to load just about every time I try to use it.

### 1/5 — Massive app downgrade

*2023-06-21, version 12.3*

The most useful feature was seeing your extras cover and usage by policy member. This is now gone. There is no reason the app team would have done something so anti-customer so I assume it is nib’s fault since they bought out GU.

### 4/5 — Simple to submit a claim.

*2023-05-22, version 12.1*

Latest App version is hugely improved. Less clicks to submit claim👍😃

### 5/5 — Best health insurance App

*2023-04-22, version 11.13*

User friendly and easy to claim

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-03-30, version 11.12*

Lodging claims is near impossible. System errors always when trying to upload docs.

### 1/5 — another update ?

*2023-03-19, version 11.11*

I wish they would lower their premiums instead of spending money on CONSTANT  updates  😡

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t login as spouse. Member card only shows policy holder name

*2026-04-30, version 16.22.0*

Can’t login as spouse. The digital member card only has 01 main policy holder’s name but all other family members’ names are disappeared. How can other family member use the card to claim benefits?

### 1/5 — Terrible App & Customer Support

*2025-10-27*

This app is garbage.

You cannot see the claims you have made and are in progress. When you submit a claim you get a randomized number receipt without any details about what it is for. Good luck to you when you submit multiple claims on a same day as you won’t be able to tell which is which. With their recent update, I cannot even see the dependents and their limits anymore. 

You need to enable for multiple user have their own login to the app (ie main policy owner + spouse).

You need to show claims in progress with the actual pdf of receipts being accessible so people can tell what is what.

The customer support needs to be retrained to start providing solutions instead of copy pasting answers. We spent HOURS only to leave the call/chat unsatisfied. 

TERRIBLE APP AND HORRIBLE COMPANY.

### 1/5 — Slow and cumbersome

*2025-07-04, version 16.2.0*

Very slow and difficult  to log in particularly with the Rewards section. App constantly has to update itself even after logging in

### 1/5 — Major dental

*2025-06-28, version 16.1.0*

Not very helpful with how to claim it no follow ups

### 1/5 — Third class app

*2025-06-04, version 16.0.0*

Always logs out for unknown reasons and so irritating .. why don’t you give option for FaceID

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2025-03-18, version 15.1.0*

Not happy that when I go to use my GU Health for a meal massage it’s been declined and I had to reset up my app

### 1/5 — They shared my claim details with another gu customer

*2024-06-12, version 13.12*

GU shared my personal claim details with another GU customer. They are generally very incompetent and their customer service is terrible as they usually take many days to respond to basic queries.

### 1/5 — Misleading claims information

*2024-04-16*

I Jan 2024 I reviewed pharmacy coverage reminding under Amber’s profile prior to deciding on whether I would obtain a script for an expensive treatment. At that time the app showed funds for Phamacy were still available and based on this I decided to obtain a course, however it wasn’t until after my claim submission did GU advise via email I had previously reached the threshold and no amount will be paid out. If this was clear from the outset I definitely would not have proceeded with this as I cannot afford this outlay of funds 100% out of pocket. 

In addition, the claims page on the app shows the Jan claim as PAID with a green tick ✅ which again is again misleading because no amount was actually paid out. 

Transparency/reliability from GU with their clients is fundamental for them/me to have confidence and trust in your product. 

I have to say, I feel let down by GU and would not recommend the fund to friends and family.

### 1/5 — Lacks transparency

*2023-10-02, version 12.10*

The app should allow the user the ability to view previously scanned documents which were related to a claim. It is also difficult to correlate a rejected claim to a scanned receipt.

### 1/5 — Totally unsatisfactory

*2023-08-29*

Grand United Health has created the most complicated and difficult way of submitting claims online by having some claims able to be submitted on the computer but hospital claims only on a phone! 
Why can’t all claims be submitted on the one device? A computer. 
I doubt many older clients would cope without help. 
I’m sure there is an easier way. 
Change is needed and the customer support has been saying “The issue is being worked on” For more than a year! 
Not happy!

*2024-02-05*

I did not have to wait on, the call was immediately picked up by Himani, who was outstanding. 
She helped me with the app and took me step by step through the claim process.
Thank you

### 5/5 — Cant click using iphone on discount rewards

*2023-05-19*

so i tried to shop for some shoes on the links for the rewards using an iphone. But you cant click anything in the top corners. So i cant click the basket to check out. My phone is up to date, and also the app doesnt work with a couple of other shops not just newbalance. Its a bit of a shame because the app good for claims.
