Hello guys,
I began my aviva health insurance plan 4th jan 2010 and in march I was suffering from a suspected hernia. I served my 26 wk waiting period and went to my gp in august and explained to her that I have had this problem since march so she referred me to a consultant and proceeded to have my hernia operated on. As I had waited the for the 26 week waiting period before I had consulted with my gp I presumed I would be covered but now after reviewing my health records obtained from my gp aviva are refusing to pay for my operation because I had been suffering with the hernia since march which was within the 26 week waiting period.
Is this standard procedure or have I a leg to stand on?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
