Manulife Health Insurance Reviews

Signed up post-retirement insurance. Increased premiums every year then don't cover after 2+ years, saying it was a mistake. They hide information too.

Absolutely horrible online platform. So infrequent to submit a claim. Despite writing down all their numbers they require you get kicked out and then locked out after 2 tries - all so they don't have to pay you because it is such a nightmare to submit a dental cleaning. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!

I wasn't done with my online enrolment then it just saved right away. I tried to log in again and it just showing dental benefits. Manulife online is very poor.

When submitting an extended medical claim, unless your service provider is on their teeny tiny list of pre-approved providers, expect to wait 2-3 weeks for reimbursement of your claim, not the 5 days they advertise. Their reimbursement amounts also do not change with inflation meaning coverage is poor. Oddly enough, they also have some items (ex: massage) that have an annual maximum AND a visit maximum (far below the service cost). This makes no sense. It should be one or the other. Also, don't bother sending a message using their messaging system. A representative will reply with something generic that completely ignores your question/concern. They email you from a "no-reply" email address so you can't even respond. This insurance company is a joke. AVOID

Terrible terrible terrible... I don't know how these guys still exist! Only employers who want to pay the cheapest premium choose these guys because their service is the worst. I really hope my employer will move to somewere else. Does Manulife determine what medicine I should take? Are you my family doctor or insurance provider?

I was inquiring about why I was declined and how I can change it to approval and was transferred over 8 times and people transferred me without letting me know and also without giving the next person any information about my situation! Then, when I finally get a response it was to send a letter! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! It is 2019 and I need a quick response and a letter is the only solution. I can't call or email?! This entire company is a joke and seems to be stuck in the 1800s! Wouldn't surprise me if they asked me to send my concerns via carrier pigeon!

For many years, when I needed to call customer support, I had to wait half an hour, at least, and sometimes not get an answer at all. At every medical facility I have been in, staff members complain that Manulife is the worst they have to deal with.

It would be better to go with any other company. They are only in the business of taking your money and giving you nothing in return. Horrible. Don't waste your time or your money. Example with their health insurance. We pay to have 100% coverage for massages and chiropractor services. If they don't feel the cost of the service if low enough, they do not reimburse the 100% cost. Rather an amount they feel is suitable for the service. It has happened to us twice now. We went for massages with a registered massage therapist, summited our receipts with all the information required, and were given a portion of the amount back. It's an absolute joke. If I could give lower than one star, I would.

In response to a question on the application form for a group benefits plan, I mentioned I saw a therapist for depression five years ago. I included a month and year, and length of time. They freaked out and sent me a letter saying the information was incomplete. There was a three-page form I had to fill out which included questions like "list every date you have ever had any indication of stress or anxiety," as if everyone walks around with notepads jotting down the date of every moment they have ever been stressed. Not to mention the insinuation that I was withholding information, and the incredibly personal questions that weren't really medical in nature. It didn't help that I couldn't even log into their website because they want my banking information.
