Great-West Life Health Insurance Reviews

The most crooked and unprofessional company I've unfortunately had to deal with. They do everything they can to make you give up on receiving compensation. I had my dentist submit a pre determination claim outlining work I needed done. They reviewed and accepted the pre determination within a week. After treatment the actual claim was submitted and it sat for over a week before they posted the "request for more information notice" so I called to see what this is about and all they could tell me was to keep waiting to receive something in the mail I should of gotten by now. I haven't received anything in the mail and follow up phone calls are not returned or if I get through to an agent they rush you off the phone without any answers. They make it clear they aren't here to help you. Im pulling out of their benefits program asap and doing everything I can to get my company onto a better provider.

My husband has Great West Life insurance coverage through work and recently I had a root canal re done and needed reimbursement for a pricey procedure. My insurance plan through my work covered a portion of it and reimbursed me right away. Great West Life on the other hand just gave us the run around by asking to stupid information (which we provided again and again) but they still didn't provide any reimbursement. They were worse than useless so if you think you have dental or extended coverage through them think again because they seem like nothing but scam artists.

terrible customer service. Called numerous times for information. People would put me on hold for a few minutes. Afterwards, they would say but they can't help, but someone would call within 48 hours. No one ever did.

Great West Life is the definition of an unethical extended health insurance provider. They will do everything they possibly can to delay insurance claims in hopes that they will avoid having to pay their patrons. A simple physio submission has turned into a month of emails, phone calls, and written mail. Their representatives on the phone speak defensively and with a condescending tone. GWL's business practice is shameful.

This is the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of having to deal with have been trying to set up my benefits package for a years time now with no response other than a number with a reference code that don't exist. They have bin deducting money from my pay cheques for the entire time and tell me I have no benefits with their company and that they have no record of me at all in their system. I would recommend everybody to steer the hell clear from this company.

I had a dental plan with them and they refused to cover a simple filling repair. What a waste of money. If you want to get actual dental coverage go with anyone else.

They are making me jump through hoops to recover my $. 700 bucks for custom orthotics they are resisting reimbursement when I have a clinical diagnosis of plantar fascitis. GWL does not provide quality health coverage. Gwl is a terrible disappointment. Gwl sucks and are very unhelpful.

Avoid them at all costs. They will request Dr. letters for your claim and when you provide them with the requested professional medical opinion they will deny your claim. The appeal process is also a waste of time .

Horrible company, I will never use them again. It's always one thing after another with these guys and they do everything they can to NOT pay you mo ey your entitled to. They will never get a cent from me ever again!

GWL is nothing more than a corporate sponge. It does a great job of stealing workers money and requesting more information on every claim that you try and put through. After doing nine backflips, 40 jumping jacks and 60 sit-ups you might get paid. This company should be ashamed of themselves. Notice how all the good reviews have little information. That is because they are most likely done by GWL staff.

They will request your correct address by mailing you the notice to your address! I don't get it? Am I stupid or something? Then when you tell them your address which is where they mailed it to they send you another request for information form for the same claim.

Complete corporate gangsters and our union the IBEW shouldn't give these crooks a penny!
