As a long-time customer of ********************** who has diligently paid premiums through my employment, I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the company's recent handling of my claim. My experience with MetLife has been characterized by what I can only describe as shady and unfair practices aimed at denying my legitimate claim and shifting responsibility to a third party.My relationship with MetLife spans many years, during which I have consistently upheld my end of the agreement by paying premiums, often at a higher rate due to contributions through my workplace. Despite this, when the time came for me to file a claim, I encountered numerous obstacles and delays.The process of filing my claim was unnecessarily convoluted, with repeated requests for documentation and information that seemed designed to prolong the process rather than facilitate a timely resolution. When all requirements were met and I expected my claim to be processed promptly, MetLife instead chose to deny it on dubious grounds, citing vague policy clauses and technicalities that were never clearly communicated beforehand.What is particularly troubling is MetLife's apparent eagerness to avoid responsibility by attempting to pass the buck to a third party, despite the clear terms of our agreement and my long-standing loyalty as a customer. This tactic not only reflects poorly on their integrity but also adds insult to injury after years of faithful premium payments.I urge potential customers to exercise caution when considering MetLife for their insurance needs. My personal encounter with their claim denial practices highlights a concerning trend that *** not align with the assurances and promises they make in their marketing materials. As someone who believed in the value of insurance as a safety net, I find myself let down by MetLife's conduct and their failure to live up to their responsibilities as an insurer.MetLife, Inc.

This is the worst company known to man. You could have cancer and a heart attack and they receive all the paperwork and still wont give you a dime . These people deserve ever single law suit they have received. I cant even believe they can get away with the s*** they do. Do yourself a favor if your company uses MetLife go independently. Met life doesnt care if you live or die. And thats sad as all f***Review from Jayde A

One star because 0 isn't an option. My husbands company uses MetLife for their parental leave, funeral leaves etc. Our son was diagnosed with a fatal syndrome in utero and we were told he would not live long after birth. While we were in the hospital Metlife had a representative call us to let us know that we did not qualify for any paid leave because we wouldn't be taking home a baby to bond with and therefore did not need the time off. After being home for a little bit after our son had passed away, HR from my husbands job contacted us to tell us they emailed her and let her know the leave was approved, we called and spoke to a woman from MetLife who confirmed it was in fact approved now and that they had all the needed paperwork. The next day, a representative called us yet again to tell us that he was revoking the approval because our baby died the same day he was born and that it did not count, So once again he offered FMLA which was unpaid although the company my husband works for was furious and begged them to approve his parental leave. They refused. The representatives for this company are heartless and the wording that they use when knowingly talking to people who have just experienced the loss of their INFANT is disgusting.Review from cindy l

As the others, MetLife is terrible for paying out critical illness. They will find any reason to delay whatsoever. You sign electronically and 2 weeks later they want you to physically sign an authorization release, and then a third party they have working for them also sends you an authorization to release medical information. They don't seem to consider that malignant skin melanoma from 4 years prior that was resolved but now is metastatic in both lungs, on the brain and the spleen are critical? And when your communication preference is email, they use postal mail.Review from Ulysses A

having had Metlife for the past 2 years + every time you put in a claim they have a reason to denied claim and you have to go threw hoops and appeals to get things done. If it was not for my employer offering Metlife I would not spend the money with them. The only thing I will say that is positive is there customer service they are trained very well to be composed, but they have absolutely no authority to do anything and can not help out in the slightest. Any appeal has to be done by mail.Review from CRAIG S

It will soon be seven (7) months since I filed my first invoice for my puppystill waiting for my reimbursement check from MetLife Pet Insurance. Every time I call, the rep tells me I can expect a check within the next ***** business days and the amount of the check goes down. Do they think I dont take notes on our phone conversations? Or, do I have the word Stupid written across my forehead? In one of our phone conversations they out & out lied & said they were waiting to hear back from my vet. When I told my vet that, the **** hit the fan!! His assistant called MetLife & screamed at them calling them liars. They will say anything to stall mailing that reimbursement check!!! Seven months!!! That is out & out fraud!!! I am a 75 year old disabled senior citizen on low income. I ended up in the hospital last month because I couldnt afford to get my prescriptions filled. MetLife is walking a very dangerous line here!!!I continue to pay my $60 a month pet fee. They continue to get their money out of me, but they advertise that they reimburse claims as quickly as 5 days. They should be forced to take that off the internet!!Please do something about this fraudulent company.Review from Julie A

One star because I couldn't leave a zero. Have been calling them weekly on a cancer claim. Funny how I get the same 2 people in the call center. There is no other number or email given to contact them. Every outlet leads back to the same number. The call center associate wanted to look over my 200 pageals submitted and call me back. I questioned their qualifications to make acceptance/denial of my claim. Nurse? **? NP? Doctor? None.. the response was, "I am a call center supervisor". I would not recommend MetLife at all. They take your premium and deny or delay any payout. They should be ashamed!MetLife, Inc. Response
