Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

Their claim process is highly flawed, something out of the 1990s that has not been upgraded ever. It is not user friendly at all and sends you in circles with different names for what you are claiming for. The mobile app is even worse with the inability to download forms. This is 2023 it should not have to be downloaded, we should be able to just fill it out add pictures of receipts and submit, done. I swear they make it difficult to just pay the bill yourself. If my work did not have this plan, I would not have this. Buyers beware!! Pharmacy prescriptions is the only part of the plan that works well for me so far.

Am with the Fed Gov and switched over to Canada Life after years of great service for Med/Dental benefits. Everything worked perfectly.

The entire Canada Life website runs like a scam and it seems those who designed it are either utterly incompetent or the company is trying their hardest to put clients off and save money at their expense.

There were to be no impacts to my family's services but everyone has had to provide new info at the pharmacy and dentist. This after the pharmacy charged full pricing and told my spouse "you have no coverage". Then the scramble for the lousy paper copy of the ID card because they won't provide a real one due to "greening" initiatives.

Need help with anything? Feel like wasting 1/2 hour or longer on the phone? Good luck! Call one number and it tells you to call another after you've entered your group and individual plan numbers twice.

Tried to log in after previously receiving confirmation that my account is active and it wouldn't log us in saying "It's not you, It's us". Then locks your account for too many attempts and you have to call the help line. Once you get through and finish playing 20 questions with the agent...Ta Dah! an 8 to 10 day wait for someone to push a reset button.

Wouldn't voluntarily purchase any coverage from this company. Way to go CL. Not.

App and webpage are not accessible over one week, terrible service, not acceptable for health insurance, looking into lawsuit.

Let's take it from the top.
Their staff are super unhelpful and have virtually no knowledge of their own services and assistance.
Their app is archaic at best and often refers you back to the website.
The website only offers PAPER MAIL SUBMISSIONS for the most common claims, in 2021! Absolutely absurd.
To save or use the claim PDFs, you need to contact their customer service for an administrative password before you can fill it out on your computer! Who does that?!
My employer decided to go with Canada Life for our insurance and benefits this year and everyone is so miserable about it. I've been working for nearly 30 years with my fair share of benefits coverage and Canada Life is easily, EASILY the worst I've ever experienced.
