Canada Life Group Benefits Insurance Reviews

The website is terrible, locks me out of my account for no reason and when I call the number suggested, I get to put on hold for 30+ minutes. This happens every time I need to get in contact with their customer service. I have yet had any of my problems resolved by them.

Got this insurance through work for drug, dental coverage etc. Been with them for 4 months, have had to contact them for 4 months. Suppose to process drug claims in 5 business days. I usually wait 15 days, see they have not done anything then contact them. Just ridiculous. I wish I knew who I could contact to have them investigated. They claim on their site they have donated 1 million dollars for COVID 19. How about paying customers back what they are owed.

Doesn’t provide service like in contract. Always delays the payment. Bad customer service.

Switching to Canada life I have to fill out all sorts of crap and jump through hoops galore in order to get approved.
Their staff make you look up DINS on their website (too lazy).
I have a feeling I’ll be disapproved for the new diabetes meds. Best of luck to everyone forced to deal with Canada Life.

Denied two claims with covered DIN's. I can't get an explanation because I've spend nearly 2.5 hours on hold over the last 2 days. I emailed from their website for support and have received nothing but a cookie cutter response stating they are behind on claims. They didn't address my concern as the claims I was referring to were already processed, just incorrectly.

I had podiatrist surgery, by a podiatrist who has been practising for the last 30 years. Canada Life denied my claim saying he does not meet the qualifications. However, they covered my initial assessment. After calling several times and giving them the registration number they still denied it.

I am a retired Canada Life employee with 37 years of service. I worked in a number of areas, and for 22 years was responsible for the management of group health, dental and disability claims. Our service standard for medical/dental claims was 5 days for dental and 10 for medical claims. We consistently met these service goals, in a very competitive group insurance market. Not to do so, would have resulted in a loss of business and “my job”. It is shocking to see the current state of affairs in Canada Life’s claims area. The acquisition of the Federal Civil Service Plan has resulted in huge increases in claim volumes, without sufficient staff to provide adequate service. Senior Management are to blame. Hopefully, more staff have been hired and within a short period of time the claims area will be able to deliver much better service to all their group health and dental customers.

They simply wont pick up the phone, I called 3 times, waited over an hour each time.
As bad as it gets.

This company took over the PSHCP program for Government of Canada employees. It was impossible to speak with an agent for the first two months of transition. They failed to communicate key policy points that meant my significant other will lose name brand drug coverage. Unacceptable.
