Most frustrating experience I have ever had

by brianh123 on Mar 4, 2024
1.5 out of 5 stars

Manulife is the most frustrating company I have ever had to deal with.
I asked before enrollment what are the eligible expenses under our PSA. I was told financial services was included. I called again to ask exactly what financial services were included. I was told X was included.
I submit a claim for X and it was denied. I call back 3 times and resubmitting things until I find out X is not covered but Y is. I submit a claim for Y. It also doesn't go through. I call to ask why.
The service rep tells me only dental services are covered. I said that doesn't make sense. I do some digging and it turns out Financial services was completely taken off. What's going on?
I pointed out it seems Manulife is playing around and changing things. She said they don't do that. Right.
Their services reps are clueless. Their claims department deny everything. There's no consistency. The website has no email contact option. While waiting for their call centre they can suddenly put me on a silent line that never gets picked up.
Stressful and absolutely terrible.

Unacceptable Protocols

A year ago, I used to be under a group benefit with Manulife with another trucking company where I had prescriptions for my diabetes.
I worked for a different company, then after a year, I switched companies again. This new company had benefits with Manulife as well. But all of a sudden, Manulife needs confirmation from a Doctor that I have diabetes. They told me it was because it was a new account. I told him it's a new account, but it's the same profile I'm the same person that you covered last year. Not very smart. I wish more companies would drop Manulife because if they're not in the business of helping people and taking care of those who need medication, then close down your business. Because they really don't care about people. They're not willing to work with anyone. Also you leave a message, and they say they'll call you back tomorrow. But it's been 4 days, and they haven't called back, and I bet they don't plan on calling back either until I call back frustrated! This is unacceptable. They try and make things more difficult so that you won't put in any claims so they can keep their premiums. I urge everyone to approach your administrator to change to a different provider.

Slimy and Horrible

by RektPleb on Apr 5, 2021

Been in a battle for over a year to add coverage for my dependent. I have to explain everything every time I call in, and am always read the same script, the record so far is FOUR times being read a script and having them ignore my questions.

It always ends the same: “I’ll get a superior to call you back tomorrow”, and when tomorrow comes I get a template email with the same script I’d already gotten from the service rep and no phone call, OR NOTHING AT ALL and I have to call in yet again. It’s awful.

When they do approve things, they phrase it in a way that makes it sound like you’ll finally get the coverage you’re paying for, only to find it’s a slimy way of denying coverage yet again and reversing all the claims back on you.

I’ve given up, this company is truly awful and their service reps have zero knowledge and can only read from prompts, a bloody parrot could do their job.
