Sun Life Life Insurance Reviews

I work in a dental office and call insurance companies all the time. Never bothered to leave a review until today. Sun Life always keeps me on hold way longer than any other insurance company. And when I have another call come in, I can't put them on hold for 30 seconds without them hanging up. Even though they tell me I have a minute, they don't care. Worst customer service of any company.

As a healthcare practitioner, who has more than 20 years of experience, I worked throughout the pandemic providing frontline care. Suffering burnout and compassion fatigue, (called major depressive disorder by my healthcare practitioner) I accessed my workplace benefits for support. After leaving me without ANY benefits for a period of 2 1/2 months (from May to July, while they 'reviewed' my claim, Sun Life ultimately decided that I did not qualify for benefits because I did not meet all their criteria - i.e: not accessing enough mental health support. In a time when Mental Healthcare is most in demand, and unattainable. When daily reports that Mental Health issues are at an all-time high. I accessed, as much as I was able, but not 'enough'. They also stated I did not qualify as 'Totally disabled'. No, I wasn't. I was open to, and actively involved in a graduated return to work plan, with accommodations in place! But that made me not totally disabled. A catch-22 like a leg-hold trap! Do you want me to pretend to be sicker, and more disabled than I am so I can qualify for services? Yet, I am also expected to be actively involved in a rehabilitation plan. This is a scam. Sun Life as an organization should be ashamed of itself. I've worked with clients for over 2 decades to support their mental health and wellness and advocated for them when they encounter challenges and resistance from Insurance and employers. Then, when I need support - it is not there.

Would never deal with Sun Life - a crooked company. I had a broker for many years and stole thousands of dollars from my premium policy and yet he only got a slap on the hand for stealing. Still working as a financial advisor!
