Zero Customer Support

by Rob Wagner - Canadian Coast Guard on Sep 15, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Have been trying for weeks to get a hold of someone. Never get a person on the phone, cut off from multiple chats without ever being connected to anyone, email has gone unanswered. This needs to be fixed!!
Never had these issues when we were with other insurance. When will someone help us and get this situation remedied.
Absolutely NO customer service.

I have tried to reach Canada Life PSHCP department on 4 different occasions in the same day and after waiting 56 minutes, a message says they are having system issues comes on and the calls hangs up.

It is very unorganized

There appears to be many glitches in Canada Life. It is very hard to reach someone. There was problems processing my physical therapy sessions. I am presently 600 in the hole. I may have to discontinue physiotherapy because I cannot pay our of pocket. This is very discouraging.

PSHCP

Id rate a zero is possible. This company is the insurance provider for the public service health care plan effective July 1 2023.
I have tried to call them over 100 times, they do not answer. I have tried their online chat, they don't answer or respond, even after waiting hours. I have sent messages via online form inquiry, they do not respond.

Imaginatively terrible.

This company who have apparently had only one phone does not answer it. After contacting the Ombudsman and their feigned concern I was given a time that they would phone me. Of course, they didn't.
Could not even get their positive enrollment site to work ever! ?Tried 50 times over the clock.
Can the PSC please cancel this mistake?

How can I only wear lens?

by OnlyWearLens on Jul 30, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Canada Life rejected my claim and said “Important: Your plan does not cover non-prescription sunglasses.”
My submission is for my sunglasses frame.
f-r-a-m-e. That is part of eyewear.
My previous claim only has a lens. How can I wear only lenses? What does eyewear mean? Only means prescribed lens?
Could you please show me an example of wearing only a lens?
I put the category under Eyewear and Exams. Canada Life first mistakenly put it under Laser eye surgery and later again mistakenly under Lenses: single vision.
Can Canada Life read my notes?

With my previous employer benefit insurer was Canada Life and my medications were approved, after changing employer my current benefit insurer was again Canada Life and not approving my same medication where doctors have approved and coverage is more! They never pick up calls nor provide proper responses for rejection!

Canada Life/Vie for our medical coverage

by Francine Francoeur on Jul 25, 2023
1.5 out of 5 stars

July 23rd and still cannot get someone to answer the phone, or leave a message or wait on the phone for the next available. They simply say "cannot answer please call later" and their phone is always busy.

2 or 3 days trying to get help from Canada Life is impossible. This is unacceptable.

Wait times unacceptable.

by Amanda on Jul 19, 2023

Wait times are unacceptable. I was in travel and it took hours to get a call from a representative. I had a sick child needing care. The main call center didn’t even take calls. I am currently on hold with a general call center to check my enrollment status but still on hold. This company should have anticipated the volume when they took as the insurance provider for the public service health care plan.
