Sun Life Health Insurance Reviews

I am only with Sun Life as it is my husband who has their benefits through work. But I would never choose them if I had a choice. I had a claim I submitted with them, checked that it was indeed something covered by our benefits before going to the service. I submit the claim with my backup and get told it was denied - so I call in and first I get this extremely rude employee screaming at me on the phone and telling me over and over that it was denied because they are my husdand's insurance and not mine to use (though I am on the policy and know that I am under him on the insurance), he wouldn’t even listen to me, so I hung up and called back - spoke to another lady who put me through to her manager, who told me she couldn’t see why my claim was denied but that I needed to get the person who completed my service to call in with their information (though they had their registration number and all nesscary information.) I did so and had the person call in - waited forever to hear anything back about this and in an email, they say that they will reimburse me for this claim - great! But of course not, the reimbursement still hasn’t come yet and that was over a month ago, I called in to see what was going on and was told they won’t speak to me about anything. My husband needs to call and though my service came to $245 (and we were covered up until $300 per service), they are only reimbursing $100. So I’m just fed up at this point and say save your money. If you don’t have to go with Sun Life, don’t.

Sun Life has the absolute worst group insurance service ever. If you have a choice, pay any other company other than Sun Life for medical and dental insurance. They will do whatever they can to deny claims that they will eventually have to pay. They do what they can to make life difficult on their CUSTOMERS. The people that pay them! That is crazy to think. These guys are on a sinking ship because they don't have common sense and they like redundancy! Do yourself a favour and pay someone else. I guarantee they will be better than what Sun Life provides.

I am paying for the highest health insurance plan they have since year one and for the first time I sent my drugs invoices to claim department, which is a basic medication for regular hypertension, but they say that my drugs list is not covered, why? No answer, only told me to contact my area agent, I called him and briefly, he told me that it's not his responsibility!!

Been trying to get a claim estimate completed but Sun Life is being stubborn about fulfilling it because they put a stipulation in policy saying only 1 claim per 2 years. I did not use the full portion of the benefits and they are refusing to let me use the remaining portion. No wonder providers charge full amount of your benefits and drive rates up because they know places like this have this stupid rule.

The worst insurance I have ever encountered myself with, the only reason why I am with them is because my company is with them and between my spouse and myself I am the only one who can get benefits. Usually when you hand in a statement of your expenses, you expect them to pay without any hesitation, but no I had been given the round around of having to provide documents of proof that I have a doctor's approval then having to wait a week after in order to get my money, then having to hand in another statement of the same treatment and being told I need to provide proof when clearly they don't bother checking their system that I already handed that in, like what in the world now waiting another week to get my money back, and all I get is "sorry, sorry" over the phone. THIS IS THE WORST INSURANCE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!! HEADS UP DON'T CHOOSE SUN LIFE!!!

The staff is the worst. I do not even know how they are working there. When I called them, they only said, wait.. They let you waiting on the phone for long, then they are back and I was told I will pass to the case manager. I have been waiting for a dental disbursement for more than 3 months and so far nothing. I got a call from the "supervisor" - such poor communication. It was hard to understand what he was saying. I called one of the customer service and play the message for him..the customer service just jump to ask..what can I do for you...Don't give the money to this company...for me because I have no choice my workplace is the one paying for the benefit...Don't give money to these people who doesn't care.

So dissatisfied with the way your company made the contract with mine. Why would you allow everyone, but a spouse to be able to use certain benefits? Why wouldn't you allow the benefits I get, to be used for both myself and my spouse? Instead, we have to use money we cannot afford to use to pay for what is important in everyday life. Not everyone is rich and many people, especially the poor, count on these benefits for everyday use. I'm so upset that this is allow this to happen to those with disorders when they need help the most. Rich get richer and the poor get poorer. So disappointed with you guys!

This is not the first time I've ever encountered such rude, impatient, and highly sarcastic customer service representative at Sun Life. I call them most of the time because it's part of my job working at a practitioner's office, and I'm in so much shock to find out how awful their customer representatives are. Such a disgrace to the company. Maybe the HR department should have a better standard of hiring customer service reps. 'Cause these guys they hired aren't helpful at all and in fact, frustrate people more because of their unacceptable attitude.

They lie regularly and wait until the last minute. You call back and you're told something different each time. It doesn't matter if it's a rep supervisor or manager. Their goal is to wear you down. They claim they make calls for records but don't leave a message or claim line is busy. They give teenager level excuses
