Sun Life Health Insurance Reviews

For a $215 dental bill for a filling and restoring a cracked tooth, they paid $19. I went to their webpage and put in my contact information so they could call me. Kept receiving an error that the phone number was in the wrong format. Tried every format except Roman Numerals and could not get past that error. Very handy error if you don’t want to talk to your customers. I wish my company hadn’t changed to then from the other insurance.

Needed emergency dental because I broke a molar. Their in network online search is a JOKE!!!! Bad phone numbers, wrong companies, listed in network and is not. Going into my 5th day of pain and I’m ready to just pay out of pocket. I will be contacting my companies HR and CEO about this joke insurance.

Throughout my adult life, I have dealt with many coverage providers. Sun Life has been a nightmare from the beginning. Their app and their website are down more often than it is up. Half the time you can’t connect to the chat option. It seems like the default is them denying your claims and then you have to jump through hoop after hoop after hoop to get it covered. They denied a claim for my husband and asked for extra information (even though I filled out all the paperwork and provided them with every single thing my dentist gave me ) and when I went to the dentist to get the extra information the dentist was totally confused as to why I needed more information than I had already provided them. This company is a complete joke.

I've been with Sun Life for over 8 years ONLY because it is the only option my organization offers. If you have literally any other choice take it. They make it very difficult and confusing to make claims. I'm guessing they just hope people give up so they don't need to payout. The website requires 2 different access ID/certificates to get into and for some reason, my password is constantly reset (without my approval) or the account is locked and you need to call the phone line. The phone line connects you to the UK which can't access your info if you live elsewhere. They then transfer you to an automated line that has a ton of very vague options for you to choose from. You are then on hold for a long time (every time I've called) before you get to talk to a person. You are asked to confirm your identity and I think I have given every single bit of information I have... Only to be denied access because the email that the claims are sent to us different than the one I registered with. More to follow on this... I am covered by my company under a different medical plan. The "benefits" are for my family. Other than being the name on the plan I have literally nothing to do with it. I am away in remote locations multiple times a year and unable to access my Sun Life. All my claims are for my spouse or dependants. The only person who is able to access and approve the claims is me. I have asked and they will not let her access, change, make claims, or do anything on the account. Again, I could be gone up to 8mo a year. Without getting to personal, my spouse has had major life-changing surgery. The claims we make are very straight forward with lots of information (from doctors) to back it up. Sun Life fights tooth and nail with us on every claim. There is always a loophole or a fine print on why they can't pay it. Most of the claims can be submitted online... But if they decide it is questionable (all of them) then you need to physically mail in receipts etc. It's 2020, which is completely unnecessary and again just a deterrent. To summarize: - They deter members from making claims - will fight over every claim - customer service is atrocious - benefits are expensive and provide less than competitors - beneficiaries have no access whatsoever I would never recommend Sun Life to anyone and would switch in a heartbeat if I was able. Look elsewhere.

Their website is low maintenance. You need to call over and over and waste time talking to customer people about the account activation! Always issues with login. Member ID doesn't work; username doesn't work, the password doesn't work... It's always something that "doesn't work''. It's a trick as they don't want you to claim medical expenses. I am cancelling their service! Bye scammers! The worst insurance company ever!
