Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

Trying to obtain approval to get 5 months of prescriptions for our winter trip to Florida. We have called 3 days averaging 4 hrs each call before we got an answer. Finally the we were told it would take one week to send us approval. It's been a week and a half so we have been calling for two days again with no response! We plan to pay upfront and hope they can process the claim before our credit card is due.

Requested refund for dental care. It took 2 weeks just to post me some additional papers to fill. It took only 2 days to send the info back via their website. Now, 1 month has passed the request is still pending... Also, nobody answered me for 1 hour.

I called Canada Life after waiting on hold for 25 mins, the agent could not find me in the system and she tried by my name asking me if it’s a new policy I said no. I said this is taking me a lot of effort to call in as I have Covid. She put a recording through saying there is a system error and it hung up on me, making me back call in again.

The 'Customer Service' that they offer (if you want to call it that) is terrible. Wait in a queue for over an hour, finally get a hold of someone who is clearly not trained properly. Then get COLD transferred 2 times and finally hung upon. No callbacks. You know you hung up on me.. why not simply call back? Because they don't care. That's why.
All of this because I was denied ortho coverage for my child because "it is not part of my plan". Yes, it is. My coworker who has the same employer-provided coverage had the same thing happen to him. They are just trying to weasel their way out of paying us the benefit.
And don't even get me started on their app which took me 6 times to successfully file the claim in the first place.
If you have the option to get insurance through someone else - do it!
