Manulife Health Insurance Reviews

This is all they do! PLAY GAMES!!!! They waste my time on the phone putting me on hold for an hour, they change their story every time I call and making me jump through hoops just to transfer my retirement fund to my own bank. I hate this company with every ounce of my soul and hope and wish they are found out by all who pay these crooks and get shut down!

Manlike does not deliver on anything they promise. Most unethical fraudulent disgusting Company. No wonder they are constantcly settling lawsuits for millions of dollars rather than go to court because if they went to court they would be shutdown.

But this shiesty company makes sure their website is down every weekend so your claims cannot be easily updated.

At first, I thought it was a routine maintenance thing but after a month of the same, I've noticed a pattern.

What they are doing is shady, deceptive, and unethical. A watchdog needs to call them on this as it is screwing thousands of people who only have time to enter receipt information on weekends out of their claims.

A cumbersome glitchy site. More often it is down than working. Manulife promises quick payment of medical claims if you submit them online. However, their website is almost always broken. For a large insurance company like this, you would think they could spare a few bucks to get their website working well. It is a tool that their customers use and therefore directly affecting the clients experience. Zero points for service on this one. Calling in does not help either, they make you send in your claim via snail mail which takes even longer to get processed.

Manulife Financial Affinity Markets health claims division is a bunch of scam ripoff artists. I'm so tired of calling in and disputing their unsubstantiated claim denials its completely ridiculous. I'm curious to know how many claims they deny and how many of their customers don't call in, complain, forcing them to reassess and then your claim is approved. I suspect they have a completely fraudulent claims department trained and incentivized to deny deny deny saving Manulife thousands maybe millions in unpaid legitimate claims. I have a disease requiring me to submit claims constantly for the exact same drugs and supplies every week or two, and every month or two they deny for no reason. The disease can't be cured, the drugs/supplies don't change in type/quantity/frequency, nothing. This company, and the people working there, are all rip off artists. Their customer service department is also horrible, they belittle you like you are doing something wrong calling in to complain about their decision when requesting an explanation as to why it was denied. They don't offer a reason, they just say, okay, we will reassess and let you know. Which translates to, oh well, this customer caught us, we'll now buy ourselves more time, never give an explanation, and eventually pay it out unless we can delay for fraudulent reasons some more. This should be a class action lawsuit to bring down this terrible company and their unscrupulous behavior.

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.

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.

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.

My employer switched from GWL to Manulife a few months ago for benefits coverage. Apparently Manulife was significantly cheaper for the employer and nothing would change in terms of our benefits. This has not been true. From my perspective and based on my terrible experiences thus far, the reason that they are cheaper is because the employees are now paying for the difference. For example, Manulife has disallowed registered massages because the massage therapist obtained their certification in BC instead of in AB where they practise. This was frustrating because Manulife and my employer did not document this absurd requirement anywhere and now. My employer indicated that they were not aware of this policy so they actually refunded me for the massage. They have told me to get all of the details regarding the Reg Massage Therapist before I book a massage which is such a pain and creates extra stress. In addition, Manulife's website is down on weekends. On Sat, you cannot submit claims after 8pm and Sun, after 5pm. As a parent that works fulltime, it is very difficult to make time to process these claims except on weekends after my young kids have gone to bed. For me, I have actually stopped using my benefits because the thought of trying to process the claim and what Manulife will come back with causes me instant anxiety. Ugh
