Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

Horrible horrible people to deal with called over 20x finally goе ahold of someone and told they would get back to me in the next two weeks about my claim!!!! It’s already been a month!!! They’re rude and useless! I hate this company!

It is literrally impossible to speak with someone. They keep denying claims saying that I need to provide my kids proof of school attendence which I provide every single claim...

The wait time sometimes is more than an hour. the process of payments are long and they process the claims in different category and and they don' let you, so on the 2nd claim you have to go to same process of calling them.
They have broken links on the website which they don't even know. Very disappointed with this company

First its 2023, keep up with everyone else. The app is for dental which now a days no on needs, the health side doesn't have a app, so you need a computer to submit. Submitting you have to enter your info every SINGLE time, doesn't save.

Second, EVERYTHING comes back denied, After waiting a MONTH.

Third, call times are insane. You call right at 8:00 am and there's an hour wait. If you call after 10 am there's just no getting through, nor is there a time to wait they just hang up on you.

Customer service is terrible, rude and I'm assuming they have no staff.

YOU should just close. NOT a successful company at all. It's terrible how you even have customers.

Useless company. No way to contact them. They ignore e mails and hang up on calls. ALWAYS have higher than normal call volumes meaning long waits. Phone battery dies before wait time is up. Can not complain about customer service unless you talk to an agent. Cant talk to an agent because they have no customer service agents to talk to. Do not process claims in reasonable timeframe if at all. The most useless company on earth and I am being generous in my description of their service.

Waiting time to talk to someone is more than 45min and this is really frustrating.

Processing time for any clime is very long??

Canada Life should be embarrassed by its dreadful service. I have waited weeks for reimbursement of a simple routine dental appointment. Today I received a letter in the mail saying that they couldn’t proceed with the claim as additional information is required. Such stupidity... Their incompetence is to blame as they have all the correct info but now want a paper claim submitted so it can be ‘promptly’ assessed. What a pathetic joke. Wish I could give zero stars but that doesn’t seem to be an option.

Be careful when they say they will cover something. Because they won't. They will ask you for so much information without explanation of what they actually need to avoid paying for them. It's been 6 months. I've talked to 7 agents. They snail mail everything. Are disorganized with claims and emails. You can't talk to the person who is actually doing the claim and demanding information. Honestly no insurance is better then this company.

I’m on disability insurance with Canada Life and I had to wait 3 months for a decision to be made and it’s been 5 months and I still haven’t gotten paid. I’ve called and emailed them many times in which they keep saying you’ll get your paperwork and you’ll get your pay but still nothing. The worst company I’ve ever encountered with. My work uses Canada Life so unfortunately I can’t change insurance companies.

When you call to inquire about anything, you can be on hold for 1-3 hours. When you complain about how long it takes to get reimbursed for most benefits (which is often) they just pacify you and tell you it will be coming soon. I tell them I have been sending inquiries online and they tell me that is useless because no one checks that. Right now, I have been waiting to be reimbursed for medical supplies for 5 weeks. When I was waiting for reimbursement for my partial dentures, it took 6 weeks. My husband has this company for benefits. It is awful. Needed to get orthopedic shoes, so I got a doctor's note which they would not accept. You have to get a podiatrist to send a full and specific problem you are having and once they accept that, then you have to go through umpteen dozen pairs of orthopedic shoes until they decide to accept a pair. Terrible company!
