If you want to file a claim. They will ask for full access to ALL of your past medical documents. There is no privacy which is extra off putting when customer service treats you like garbage. Customer service is terrible and communicating with them is difficult to say the least. I’m a very competent individual and I was struggling with their website, (turns out is was some error on their end) they couldn’t pull my policy up with my name, DOB or social! They were telling me I didn’t have an account or my coverage was canceled. Finally got that sorted out. Then with them wanting full access to all my medical records and not accepting documents they asked for was the final straw. Why ask for documents if you’re going to want full access to everything anyways?? The person I was emailing basically told me to bite it and that I might as well cancel coverage.

Aflac is nothing but a scam
Aflac is nothing but a scam. Nothing but paper trails that are senseless. If I have no income I have no healthcare. Very disappointed I payed into this for 30 years

I submitted a claim on 12/29/22 and it doesn't appear in my Aflac account. When I submitted a chat inquiry the person responded up until I asked for the status of the claim. In response to my question the representative wrote that all representatives are busy please try again later. And also when I logged in today it shows my policy is inactive but its being deducted from my paychecks for Aflac.

3 years and counting for a $40 payout
On 11/28/2022 I got an email from aflac saying they paid out on the claim I submitted on 11/28/2022. I didn't submit a claim in 2022. In fact I haven't even had aflac since 2020. So, anyway, I initiated a chat to check on possible fraudulent activity and was told this is a payment from a claim I submitted in Dec of 2019. The rep asked me to provide my full name, address, dob and ssn for security which I did and then refused to tell me which institution my direct deposit was sent to because it's not secure to provide sensitive info via chat. Pretty sure a banks name is not sensitive info. While typing my next question which was "Why did you ask me for sensitive info if it's not secure?" "Miranda from Texas" posted the phone number to customer service and ended the chat. If they're gonna be clacking away on a keyboard for 8 hours why not at least attempt to help? Pesky paying customers interrupting the busy important lives of these remote customer service reps. Way to sh@t the bed aflac.

Horrible company
Horrible company! I was having my payments to Aflac deducted from my paycheck but all of a sudden they stopped. AFLAC cancelled my policy without notification, because of non payment. They said I should’ve contacted my company but they should’ve notified me that they no longer participated in direct deposit deductions and my policy was cancelling. “Oh we don’t do that”…???? Lazy reps, clueless reps, just a bad company all around. They care more about that duck than they do people.

My wife broke her right shoulder and…
My wife broke her right shoulder and fractured and dislocated the shoulder and right arm on Labor Day 9-5-2022. She had to have a major surgery a couple weeks later. The surgery cost between 65,000.00 and 100,000.00 dollars. On Labor Day, she had to go by ambulance to the Emergency Room. She has not been paid for ambulance ride, cat scan, EKG and other things for that day. For her 65,000.00 to 100,000.00 surgery they let her know on 11-19-2022 that she only gets 385.00 dollars for having the surgery. She should get something for anesthesia but didn’t. She should get between 1,600.00 to 2,000.00 dollars just for the fracture and dislocated shoulder and arm but she gets nothing because Aflac says that she did not pay for the Aflac accident insurance however she was supposed to be paying for it but Aflac was not holding out for it and showing that it showed that it showed inactive. She sent an extended work excuse on October 27,2022 to Aflac to be able to cover her for being out for the month of November 2022. As of the middle of November, 2022 she has not received a check. She called about it and Aflac said that she had to fill out an extension letter and have the Orthopedic to fill out an extension letter which takes the doctors office a couple weeks to do and the employer has to fill out an extension letter. If she would not have called Aflac, she would not have known about the extension letter for short term disability for November. Now she or we have to wait for another several weeks for her short term disability check. Probably will not show up until December sometime. We are out of money now. We feel that Aflac should pay my wife at least 3,000.00 to 8,000.00 dollars just for the injury, fracture, and dislocation itself. This is not including the short term disability that they owe her for the entire month of November 2022. Aflac is one of those companies that appears not to care about their customers.

I have had AFLAC for a year now
I have had AFLAC for a year now. The doctor's visit claims have been paid immediately. However, the hospital insurance claims has been worse than a nightmare. No help from the representative Elizabeth Guzman in my area. Was required to upload medical documents, but site won't allow that. Or I just can't figure it out. Either way, the Aflac hospital claim is in my opinion a scam. Also filed for disability, and same issue. I will not be continuing my policy as I am a very unhappy customer that has spent way too much time filing a claim. Do not recommend Aflac at all. Please don't waste your money.

Aflac cancer policy rip off. …
Have had Aflac cancer policy since 2007. Diagnosed early leukemia MDS. Taking chemo pills. Was told to take picture of pill bottle and submit to them. No problem first couple of months. Got my 300 deposited in my checking account. Then for the past 3 months claim is denied. Say the picture of the bottle is too dark. I lighten it up and resend. Rejected again. Several months in a row. The bottle can be easily read. They are looking for reasons to deny paying out. Awful customer service. Stay away from Aflac.
