Great-West Life Health Insurance Reviews

Getting your custom orthotics paid for is a nightmare. Despite having all information required, claim is still denied. Something, they pad for 2 years ago is now not eligible, however, no information was sent out to advise of new terms.

i have been with Sun Life insurance for a few years. No problem with any claims. My husband just got a new insurance with great west life, and now I have had a terrible time with them. They random audited and asked for the receipt which I provided to them. Then they asked for the other insurance payment proof. This made me feel like I am trying to rob their money or something. Sun life never checked my receipts, and always pay in full amount if you have second insurance. This great west life never pays me in full whatever left that my first insurance pay even only $10 left. This insurance company is not GREAT as its name. If anyone is looking for insurance company, I would suggest with Sun Life. No problem with claims and no doubt about your claims. Less headache and pissed off from the stupid audits.

By far the worst employer supplied insurance company I have ever dealt with. They absolutely bend over backwards not pay to a legitimate claim. Their main tactic is to force you to provide so much paperwork that you finally give up.

I have this problem with most claims - even for the most mundane.

Don't use them if you don't have to!

They may be cheap for employers but your employee base will not be happy with your benefit plan and in the long it could very well affect your employee retention. We have had nothing but complaints to our HR department since switching as they provide our employees with poor customer service and very glitchy website. Our employees which much happier with Pacific Blue Cross and we'll be switching back in the future. Great West Life cuts corners at the expense of your employees and as a top employer, our employees deserve better.

I have been with this excuse of of a benefits provider for 13 years. I don't pay for it as my employer provides it. I wish I did pay for it so that I could get rid of them. Every single time I try to claim something it gets denied for some reason or other, none being a incorrect claim. They love to find ways to keep your money from you. When you call them the people on the phone act as though you are inconveniencing them, and they won't answer your questions. If you are looking for a good provider then keep on looking.What a useless company.

Great west life lied to me about what was going to be covered, I sought out treatment, and then had my claim denied... I was left with a 500.00 bill.

Thanks a lot GWL.

Ditropan is a medication paid by the gouvernement and them are not paying it, they want us to use old meds that are obsolete, and they just don't want to pay anything ...

I called customer service regarding my dental plan . Basically she knows nothing about my coverage and asked me to asked my dentist to try to submit a claim and I will know if it's covered or not. Then I submitted my spouse drug claim online and the reason behind it is "our record shows no drug coverage" but GWL issued new drug cards under our names around the same time of the claim. Now I am afraid even paying for a Family Plan, I might not be covered at all even if they claim on my login page that I have Family Plan for dental, drugs and vision.
