NYL group benefit solutions only solves delaying payments and shorting you of what you pay for. They are the slowest responders and constantly saying they havent received all necessary paperwork needed to process your claim, no matter how many times we fax it to them with confirmation of their retrieval, email pdf documents, etc. I highly recommend that you find a different insurance company because this company goes above and beyond to do all they can to make sure you dont get the benefits you pay for. When you are on short... read more

Business response:

Based on the information the customer provided we are unable to determine which specific claim they are referring to. We sent the customer an email on 3/27/24 to obtain more information and try to assist with the concerns he is having. To date, the customer has not responded. If the customer is willing to provide more information to us- incident number for the claim, DOB, employer, etc wed be glad to look into this further.

I thought fighting cancer was bad. Fighting New York Life has been worse. They changed my return to work date based on their estimate. Not my doctor's. I called February 21st to straighten it out. My doctor's ****** and I both sent what we thought were the correct forms. The forms that were provided by NYLife. 2-weeks later, my paycheck was zero. I've spoke to at least 6 different Reps many who are from out of the country. I thought the info was lost in translation. Apparently not. I've called my nurse several times with no ... read more

I would like to give zero stars. I had a pretty good experience until my worker switched to ********. I have given her everything she has asked for and yet it is still pending. This feels like retaliation for me advocating for myself. I made ******** mad and now she is retaliating against me. She asks for the information and I give it to her and then she asks for it again. She has asked me the same question over and over again and then she says she has to speak to her superiors. Then nothing. Two weeks ago she said she appro... read more

Business response:

We regret that the customer had a poor experience with our **********************. We understand her frustration and hope she can understand it is our goal to administer the plan according to its terms. Based on the policy provisions, we determined the customer was subject to a pre-existing condition limitation investigation. The policy also requires that we receive proof that the customer is Disabled according to the policy terms. We acknowledge there was a delay with making a decision on the claim. However, we approved the... read more

I struggled while continuing to work in extreme pain, fatigue, migraine headaches and among other debilitating factors. With the support of psychotherapy, specialists, physical and clinical therapy, and pharmacotherapy, and progressing through a pain clinic to help wi... read more

We regret that the customer had a poor experience with our **********************. We understand her frustration and hope she can understand it is our goal to administer the policy according to its terms. On March 21, 2024, our Claim Manager spoke with the customer and advised that the claim is being denied as the available medical records fail to provide sufficient evidence to support that shes Disabled according to the policy terms. Once the determination is finalized, a letter will be sent to the customer. Should the cust... read more

I was diagnosed with several disabilites covered under the Americans with Disablity Act.

I have been seeing a doctor for my disability for five years. I struggled while continuing working as a special education school teacher with the support of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, and very basic accommodations (distraction free work area.) Recently, I had a decline ... read more

They are a terrible company.They do not get your paperwork in to get your money on time. You get different answers for what they need.They send documents to medical records not time stamped so therefore they can't receive the records. So they can't pay you.. You pay for disability insurance so that your family can get taken care of while you heal and I can't take care of them because they don't do whatever they are supposed to do. Do not get short term disability here it's a nightmare 

Business response:

We regret that the customer had a poor experience with our **********************. We understand her frustration and hope she can understand it is our goal to administer the plan according to its terms. The Plan requires that we receive proof that the customer is Disabled according to the plan terms. In this case, we attempted to obtain updated medical information to determine eligibility beyond February 4, 2024. There were issues in obtaining the information, however, medical information was received on March 8 & 12, 2024. ... read more
