Canada Life Health Insurance Reviews

Canada Life took over the Public Service Health Care Plan July 1st and was woefully ill prepared for the transition. Based on wait times for processing and customer service it seems like no new employees were hired to accommodate the 750,000 new customers. Still waiting for several thousand in claims for over a month now.

Very very poor customer service, on hold for hours, say they will call you back and don’t.

You cannot call through to Canada Life, you can not chat with them, and they ignore your emails. Customer service is non-existant and they are not administering the plan, not providing reimbursements, and not communicating whatsoever. Countless plan members have sought out legal action and media attention. Stay away at all costs, this company will fail soon.

The PSHCP switch to Canada Life has been a nightmare. The customer service is lacking. I’ve wasted hours on hold being passed around and getting disconnected. The majority of the time you can’t even get through. They do not have an authorization form/process so that a spouse can ask questions or help manage the plan.

But for me the real problem is… that my 8 year old requires a lifesaving feeding tube and all feeding tubes and supplies that were previously covered under the plan are not an eligible expense now. They are playing with peoples lives.

Don't even try to call there, no one will answer! Ever!
We were supposed to be inssured since Jully 1st, with the military. We are in September 17, and yet, I can't submit my claims. So I have a ton of claims pending...

They never reply to email and / or message
their claim system over their website is not working for days
their claim system over the mobile app is not working
waiting time to speak to someone is 60 minutes facing the hangup after long wait

Is this a real company or just a scam

No assistance, no response for my multiply requests. Its a joke. I can't get any answers through phone or site.

They take forever to process anything, their website is horrible, and their customer service is non-existent. I have called twice in the last week and been on hold for over an hour each time and then they just tell you they can't solve your problem and they will escalate and someone will call you in 2 business days but they never do. I genuinely don't understand what the point of their customer service team is if they have to escalate everything.
