Canada Life Health Insurance Reviews

Worst service, 6 months still my claim not processed. They make you pay premiums for longer than my delayed processing. Hours of hold time. Pathetic service.

You can never talk to someone about your specific needs when you phone. If someone does pick up the phone, they transfer you, and you are placed on hold again. Then after an hour and half of being on hold, the call will end.

It's been over a year and I still can't get coverage, even thought you take my money every month. I'm a veteran of 28 years of service for this country. Now that Canada life has taken over, it's been a year and I'm still paying out of pocket for medications. I completed positive enrollment and after 6 months of misery I was finally able to submit a claim. It worked for 2 months then all my info was deleted and now my family is not covered again. I spend hours on the phone but no one answers. The website does not work, I can't update my profile or submit claims. So what does a veteran do, I guess my only step is the media, I've sent messages, complaints, contacted my member of parliament but here we are still dealing with this very sad excuse for insurance companies. I would love for someone preferably a top executive to contact me to explain why they can not do their job.

I would give these people a -10 if the option was there.
I submitted Dental expenses on Canada Life confusing and not so functional web site. No one got back to to say some information was missing. I have been trying to call them, waited for 1 hour 45 min no response for 2 days. After I hour and half a message came on to leave a message for them to call me back. A week later no call. I even emailed, still no response. Still waiting someone to call me back. I don’t understand how on earth companies like this stay in business. PATHETIC!!!

My Canada Life is impossible to get a hold of. I have called 4 times in the last two days been in hold for over 1 hour and a half only to get cut of and receive no assistance at all.
Every time I have gotten through regarding an issue with claims. They tell me someone will call me back, they never a have.
If it wasn’t mandatory to have this insurance through my employment, I would never choose this company.

There is no easy way to review one entire claim if a portion of it was out of the benefits fund and a portion out of the HSC. It takes weeks and weeks (and weeks) to have a more expensive claim paid - even when a Predetermination was received. Emails are rarely, if ever, responded to. It's a 2 hour wait to speak with an agent. One agent cannot help you - you need to speak with one for dental, another for health, another for HSA. I would never recommend Canada Life.

Canada Life since taking over has messed up a bunch of people as they are not prepared to handle this plan. I've been waiting for 3 months now and they have lost my claim. Customer service is terrible wont answer your questions.

Phone wait times are awful, I spent over 100 hrs on the phone in a 2 week period, waiting for someone to answer. Most of the time I was cut off and had to redial.

Most times, I have been unable to speak to anyone (after waiting over an hour) and the one time did, I got transferred multiple times. After spending hours on the phone waiting, the various people didnt have answer and I was told someone would call me back - they never did. These are just some of the underlying issues.
