Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

I have been dealing with Canada Life for an STD claim for almost 2 months. They never got a hold of me, I had to get a hold of them to see where my claim was at after 3 weeks of hearing nothing. Then I called the company and got passed off to 3 different people who could tell me absolutely nothing.
The staff aren't trained properly, they have no knowledge of what's going on, they give you wrong/withhold information. I have called every week now for almost 2 months. I have sent 3 separate emails and didn't get a single reply. When I finally talked to someone who seemed like they knew what they were doing, they told me that they were waiting on information from my employer for almost a month which no one told me in the weeks prior when I called. So I finally was able to get that information and get ahold of my job who didn't even know they were waiting on it, to send it in.

It's been almost 2 months and they still don't have a case manager assigned to my claim. I am off work due to pregnancy complications and all my bills are about to bounce because this company is so disorganized and slow with processing their claims. I'm off work because of stress and dealing with this company has made my complications worse because of the stress they cause you. They have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

I don't recommend this company to anyone. If you're a company looking for Insurance for your employees, please choose a different company.

Don't use this company. They promise everything. Deliver nothing. When you try to claim. You'll be denied over and over again. For every excuse. I've had disability insurance. Accident. Insurance and other policies. That. When it became disabled. They denied it. Even though my doctor and the Canadian government. Say I am. This is a scamming company. Do not waste your money. You'll get better coverage by putting your premium in a bank account. At least you'll have more than they promise. They are a total rip-off.

So even customers who are willing to wait for an hour to have a representative speak to them are not good enough. It is easier for Canada Life to just cut the line and get rid of the headache of another paying customer inquiring about their insurance.

I had Canada Life through work. They made it damn near impossible to contact anyone by phone or email. They literally ignored me for 4-5 months then called my doctor with lies saying I was ignoring them except I have proof it was a lie. This caused a breakdown of trust with me and my doctor leaving me completely medically alone and unable to fill out any medical forms. Due to this situation, I lost my doctor my employment and all coverage, I have been alone with no help since. Please if you have choices go elsewhere.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would gladly. I work at a dental office and from feedback from my coworkers, my patients and myself this company is terrible. Wait times to speak to someone are more than an hour long. Meanwhile, their staff are only willing to hold for you for 1 MINUTE... Their clients time waiting for them is clearly not valuable to them. They are always causing problems for my patients, and I am always calling to help my patients get paid for what they are entitled to, and I wait for HOURS and am told that it is their policy to only hold for one minute. It is JUST BRUTAL and I hope for everyone's sake that their employer does not choose this company as their insurance provider.

I have sent a paper claim for health group insurance. I send paper claims regularly, the paper form is short, I've done it successfully many times. This claim was returned with the "Please, confirm provider's full name address and telephone number" reason code. I don't know what else can provide as the form is short and easy, I've filled it out as usual. I tried calling them to get some clarity on the return. I have been waiting for 50 minutes on the phone and still have not been connected to an agent. Ridiculously long waiting time.

Already paid for my insurance two months ago and have had to pay out of pocket for all meds since. They had an issue with my account (that of course they couldn't reach out to me about) so I had to call multiple different people to fix... And they acted like it was MY FAULT, even though my school has no access to their files... Not sure if I will be opting in to pay for this service next term, as what's the point when you have to pay for your medications for 2/3 months already. I am in school and so having to pay for expensive medication is stressful as I am not working. Also, the guy on the chat was very rude and unempathetic.

Horrible customer services, won't do direct deposit after giving bank information.
Don't expect to be covered, I was looking forward to get my teeth fixed but was denied because they were like that before I started paying for benefits. So make sure your teeth are perfect to be covered!

3 hours waiting on the phone! How are they in business? Waste of time to call this company. Still no answer...

In the two years that my company has been using this provider, it has been a complete run around on every single attempt on my part to actually make a claim. They reject you with no explanation and take 3-4 months to even assess a claim at all. I am only leaving them one star because I can't leave zero. They want you to pay your premiums but have ZERO intention of ever paying out for a claim. They expect me to provide a letter from the Alberta Government stating that they do not cover chiropractor care. NO ONE in Alberta gets such coverage via the Alberta government. This policy is intentionally obtuse in an effort to block their laughing low coverage amount of $20 per visit. I will say it again.. do NOT use Canada Life.
