Aflac Complaint - Ripoff - denied claims

denied claims - Complaint
Review by chriscochran40 on 2011-09-14
I have two policies with Aflac... short term disablity and accident. After paying thousands of dollars over the years to Aflac I finally needed them this year when I hurt myself and had to have surgery for a hernia. I was off work for over a month and after many denials of my claims and several months, all I received was approx: 700 dollars.

My accident policy alone lists my hernia surgery as a 1200 dollar payout. I was so angry I called Aflac to cancel my insurance with them and was told that I couldn't cancel til the next open date which will be sometime in Novemeber... whats worse is she also said they would continue billing me right on through to next year and there was nothing I could do about it... I HATE AFlac!!!!!

Bring this up with your State's Insurance Commission or similar. That isn't right and there are laws that protect you as the consumer.

I hope you feel better soon!

Aflac likes to collect to keep there duck on TV. When it comes time to pay they are all about denials!

Kris10 sorry but the Insuarance commission is overworked and it may take a year or more for them to review!

I agree aflac isn't that helpful and on my case whe I gave birth they denied my insurance claim and I'm still working in getting my premiums back. It's been 5 months now. I wish that someone would sue this company.
