Diabetic patients are screwed

by Tmmmmm on Mar 17, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

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.

No Issues AT ALL

I have read nothing but poor reviews of Canada Life after they took over PSHCP. I have had nothing but amazing service. Any phone call has been handled quickly and efficiently. I attended an optometrist appointment yesterday and submitted my claim... honestly fearing how long it may take. WITHIN 24hrs, I had the claim processed and funds directly back into my account. Amazing service!

2 hours on hold.

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.

Coverage denied several times

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.

Worst customer service

by PB on Dec 12, 2023

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.

Disaster since they took over PSHCP

by Norine on Dec 12, 2023
1.5 out of 5 stars

Ever since Canada life became the PSHCP insurer it has been a nightmare to get claims approved. Long processing times, multiple audits, unknowledgeable customer service reps. It's a circus. Missing sunlife with seamless app claim.

The government needs to investigate them and find a better provider.

Coordination of Benefits dont work

by Matt CJX on Dec 10, 2023

They say it's working but it doesn't. I've called in a couple of times just to ask what the status if only to be told to wait. Sometimes it takes forever to get to an agent which is understandable. But for me the main issue is, if the coordination of benefits works then I wouldn't need to call.

Sick of waiting on the phone

by Pete on Dec 7, 2023

Every time you phone them you sit on hold for an hour minimum. Then if you’re lucky enough for someone to answer they don’t know anything. They say they will look into it and never do.

Long waits on the phone, uninformed staff

by Samsam on Dec 1, 2023
2 out of 5 stars

I have had nothing but long waits to get through to a rep. 1 1/12 hours with a disconnect just to update important information. Calling from 2 phones at 1 time to see if I'll receive quicker service. Told one thing by 1 rep, transferred to another, as they don't have the knowledge to do this exchange of information. With another 1/2 hour wait. Told there is 6 month prescription availability, but the pharmacist claims its wrong! They are training new staff I'm told. It's unfair to the clients and the staff if this is their training. It's not good enough.
