Manulife Health Insurance Reviews

The worst insurance firm to opt... I feel their main objective is to find every possible reason to not give you the insurance... and when you try to debate with them, their solution is to repeat the same lines again and again until you are forced to give up. Seriously, they need to learn some real customer service

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've been trying to submit a claim, the website is ALWAYS down and when I call the emergency number, it's connected to a cruise survey!!

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

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!

Manulife is by the worst benifits u can have and there website works like s... dont recommend Manulife to any human being there dumb.

This insurance company is absolutely brutal. I hope somebody reads this and decides to think twice about dealing with them. Customer service is very unhelpful and rude, and barely answers the questions you're asking. They definitely do just about anything they can to reject your claim.
Shame on you guys!

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.

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.

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.
