Testimonials
I would like to pass on my sincere gratitude to your staff for treating me like a valued customer rather than a number. I truly felt your staff had taken my specific circumstances into account (which I wasn’t expecting), and went in to bat for me, which has clearly been the case with such an excellent outcome.
Many thanks for prompt response – markedly better than a number of other companies.
Many, many thanks for your patience, understanding and time you have given us during this process. We have appreciated you ALOT.
I wish all of the other Insurance companies were as great to deal with.
While no-one wants to be a high user of medical insurance, I am very aware that is what I am and I am very grateful to UniMed for continuing to meet my medical costs.
