Canada Life Health Insurance Reviews

Canada Life since taking over has messed up a bunch of people as they are not prepared to handle this plan. I've been waiting for 3 months now and they have lost my claim. Customer service is terrible wont answer your questions.

Phone wait times are awful, I spent over 100 hrs on the phone in a 2 week period, waiting for someone to answer. Most of the time I was cut off and had to redial.

I have made dozens of phone calls to them, the calls are never answered or you wait in the queue for so long it times out and hangs up on you.
They have online chat, I have tried that on numerous occasions, only to be put in wait and no one answers, ever.
i have sent 6 email inquiries through their on line website and have never received a reply to my concern. Just a "we received your request and will get back to you in a few days". Months is not a few days.
THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WITH THIS COMPANY IS ZERO. AVOID THEM

I have been a member with sunlife with the federal government until I retired and beyond and never had problems reaching them. Since Canada Life took it over you cannot reach anyone… they have been sitting on my claim for over a month with no reimbursement. just waited on the line over 45 minutes to be disconnected
Worst service ever…

I would give Canada Life 0 stars if I could! The wait time to get through an agent is so unreasonable. Last few times I waited over 1.5 hours! That is absolutely ridiculous!!! Their website claims that you will get your reimbursement within 14 days. Mine took over a month. I don't think they know anything about customer service. The agents don't care and have no empathy.

Simply awful since the switch over from Sunlife. They changed her life saving insulin for her pump to generic!!!! Had to get Doctor to contact them. Waiting for Insulin Pump supplies claim for over a month. Can't get through.

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.

You can’t get through by phone and you can’t get information about what is covered and what isn’t and why not and how to process anything. Claims are delayed by months. Absolutely awful.

Impossible to have claim completed! Worst waiting time! Can't believe we are dealing with that....

I've been waiting a month for action on a claim. I've tried the contact form... three times with no result. Nobody replies. The chat is not staffed. The automated telephone service disconnects. It is awful.

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.
