Canada Life Health Insurance Reviews

Very disappointed with this insurance for major dental claims you have to wait weeks to be processed

They didn’t pay my claim for months. I had to keep calling and finally got a nice representative. He forwarded my claim details and they only paid a disrespectful amount. I’m 80% covered and they gave me 20%!

Since April 2023, I have been calling as a new enrolment for the PSHCP, and what poor customer service. First I called to change my email address and was told to call back in May after being transferred to 3 different queues! Today I called on May 16, 2023, to be informed that nothing can be done over the phone and to expect a return call within 24 to 48 hours. Apparently, nobody there is competent enough to solve my issue right away resetting my password! What a waste of time and this is so frustrating. Hopefully, this will be resolved by July!

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO I WOULD!
Time after time, year after year having to deal with this company for health insurance claims is absolutely terrible! Their agents you speak to are useless and their denial rates are atrocious. The money this company makes and they deny claims and change rules and makeup or don’t even read submissions properly. I often wonder who works here, as they “misread” claims all the time. I wish my company did not have Canada Life as Benefit. Spend hours trying to please them and endless amounts of paperwork. Denied orthotics all the time, even though send in all the pages of paperwork required, suddenly new rules and new paperwork needed. Have even been preapproved only to be denied when submitted for money. The knee brace was denied because the family doctor prescribed an ACL tear, but the orthopedic surgeon wrote on their forms surgery was done for ACL, so they deny the claim as the doctors don’t “match”??? Ridiculous & the most frustrating company EVER! I could go on & on with numerous examples. Don’t use this company if you don’t have to!!!

As a pensioner. Have to wait weeks for return cash. Draining for us and very little reward for dental. Always 0% coverage or very little 5K for dental UT 150 for me? Now I am sick. 3-hour wait on the phone? The government controls these people.

The representatives are not knowledgeable and you get a different answers from different people. Covered claims are frequently rejected and the logic used is mind-boggling. Know your plan in and out so you can challenge them. Once you appeal, understand you are in an arduous and timely process. And these are for covered costs. Logic took a vacation with their staff and the level of dissatisfaction from plan holders is across the board bad. They manually process claims and delays in payments are the norm. If you want unhappy employees then Canada Life is your provider

The worst among all the group Insurance our company ever had! Waiting time is crazy. The claim is under review for months!

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.

This must be the worst health insurance to talk to I have been on the phone for 1 hour and 10 minutes and still no one to talk to yet. It’s Ridiculous when you pay for health insurance but cannot talk to them

Canada Life's processing time has gone down the drain. It used to be very good but now it has deteriorated so much that it has become unacceptable by todays and industry standards. I've been waiting for a pathetic RMT reimbursement for 6 weeks, I made multiple calls, followed up with customer service many times and overall spent so much time on this, it is totally ridiculous. Nobody holds them accountable and they clearly do not have any operating standards they adhere to. Employers who use them for group benefits need to stay away from them. There are better companies out there who don't take 6+ weeks to process a simple, basic claim. And yes, I am still waiting as I am writing this review. Who knows how much longer this will take? You've been warned.
