Manulife Sucks

by Shrike on Jun 14, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Trying to deal with manulife has been a terrible experience for me. They say that dentist needs to fill out forms a certain way, but will not speak to the dentist. They tell me to submit a claim online and when I do it tells me I must manually submit a claim. I am of the opinion that they intentionally make things obtuse so that the claimant will give up in frustration.

Manulife:WORST Co. EVER! Avoid

by Canadian Chap on Jun 9, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I've recently dealt with manulife for a claim, and they found a really insignificant, immaterial, technicality to deny me my claims. I couldn't believe it. When I first got rejected, I had called their agents, and they said they would take care of it because they thought Manulife was being unresonable too, otherwise they would have just said no right away, but was rejected 2 weeks later. This same thing happened with 4 other agents for the next 3 months, until I expressed my dissatisfaction on social media. They told me to contact client relations, and after 2 weeks, they told me I'm denied again. What was the point of that?! They will screw you over, then drag it out for months until you finally give up in frustration. They are the worst, and I will never buy any policy from them again, and I warn anyone who is considering Manulife to stay the hell away unless you want to be wrongfully denied reimbursement and lose sleep over it.

Terrible insurance

by Virginia on Apr 21, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

We have been with this terrible not-Coverme me program and I can tell you it is horrible. They are super bureaucratic, even my cat's health insurance is much easier and convenient to deal with. You have to fill endless papers and once in a while they change their mind and something that was covered for years suddenly they will make stupid excuses and don't cover anymore (it happened with my daughter psychologist). You have to call and talk to different people and all of them will give you different answers on the same topics, they know nothing. They raise the quote once in a while, the doctors increase their fees and Manulife has the same shitty coverage. Don't believe what the commercials say and look for a serious insurance company.

Group benefits

by A on Apr 12, 2016
2 out of 5 stars

I opted in through my group program to get basic benefits. When the company I got glasses, dental, and health benefits from sent in claims, it was great and hassle free. The moment I tried contacting them, it drove me crazy. There is no email for the group program without signing up, and that sign up takes several days before it can be approved to create one to do so. I have tried calling, but it's either busy or it's too late to do so.

Frustration At Every Turn

by ManuLifeHell on Mar 8, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Where is the 0/5 rating? Dealing with ManuLife is a living hell, a red-tape maze designed by Lucifer himself to waste your life chasing your tail. When you finally do jump through all their fiery hoops, they then send your claim benefits to the wrong party, then require you to re-navigate the labyrinth all over again. Avoid this imbecile company like the plague!

KNow what you're talking about

by AbeJohnson32 on Sep 24, 2015
3 out of 5 stars

To the person who commented on the glasses - EVERY insurance company is this way..every business is this way in terms of the goods or services they offer. When it comes to general insurance guidelines, a claim is processed (paid) based on the date you are (1) dispensed your product - aka you take them home, and (2) the date you pay for your purchase. Not the day you submit your claim. Not the day you 'place your order'.
Think about it from a business perspective - if claims were paid based on the date you 'order your glasses' then you could have your claim paid, and 'cancel your order'. If claims were paid based on the date you submit your claim, people would wait months to submit but always purchase when they were not infact entitled to the purchsase. And who pays for your glasses?? Yes it is the insurance company, but where does the insurance company get the money? Your employer. Many small businesses also pay out each time an employee makes a claim. So if you submit a claim for $200, your employer is billed $200 on their next premium invoice..I've owned a business and I have dealt with all types of insurance plans and this type does exist.
In reality, it's common sence, and you are the one at fault if you can read a simple contract or ask your employer questions,... at the end of the day, it's your employer paying insurance company the premiums, so if everyone did what you are stating, then your employer would be out hundreds or thousands of dollars in premiums..
People always think their getting scammed when they don't get their way, but its really one business trying to protect another, and trying to protect their assets and revenue and avoid scams. Insurance companies aren't trying to withold their money from you, their trying to ensure they and your employers aren't being abused by people like you.

Loop Holes

by rebecca on Aug 12, 2015

I agree with the below comments as I've had a few claims come back and it goes back and forth until they finally process your claim. I recently moved companies and they told me that they wouldn't accept my claim because it depends on when you receive your contact lenses versus when you submit and actually pay for your order???? I've never heard of this and quite frankly think it's BS. Better off not paying into their plans and paying your own way through.

Forms - denial

by Michael T on Jun 23, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

They have multiple layers of forms to fill out before they will process a claim.And if you miss any detail it is denied and sent back.
Enough to frustrate the most patient and organized accountants in the world....
I have coverage through my employer and every time I see an ad for them I hope people read these reviews as I would never deal with them if I had the option.
The only reason I continue to go through their processes is that I won't let them win.
I have co-workers who just don't bother anymore.

Strong reliable trustworthy?

by Mel on May 13, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

Manulife works hard to not pay your claim. I have had to call repeatedly about claims made for dental costs and I am advised to resubmit or told that code is not covered. So 50% usually equates to 20% if I'm lucky. there is no customer service wanting to make the process seamless and hassle free. It's hoop jumping so they do as little work as possible in hopes I am sure that the customer becomes frustrated and gives up.
