Insurance Complaints Procedure Summary
As a member of the PDA, your insurance is arranged by the Pharmacy Insurance Agency (PIA) and as the authorised insurer any complaint about the insurance element of your membership will always be handled by the PIA. The PIA’s aim is to provide a first class service, however, if you wish to submit a complaint, please complete the form below.

Wherever possible, they will endeavour to resolve your complaint within three working days. If this has not been possible, your complaint will be acknowledged in writing and you will be provided with the details of the individual who will be handling the matter in our office, together with a copy of the full complaints procedure. Where your complaint is in relation to the activities of the PIA as the regulated agent that arranges the insurance policy, it will investigate your complaint and aim to provide you with a final response within 8 weeks, following which you may be entitled to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service, whose details are below, if you remain dissatisfied.
If your complaint relates to activities on behalf of Insurers, such as policy coverage, then your complaint will be fully investigated and you will receive a written response within two weeks. If this is not possible, then you will be kept informed as to the reasons why. If you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you have the right to refer the matter to the Policyholder and Market Assistance team at Lloyd’s who will then conduct a full investigation of your complaint and provide you with a written final response within 8 weeks.
