Bankers Life and Casualty Reviews

Scam
This company should be ashamed of themselves. My parents 75 and 76 years old have had a policy with them for 6 years. My dad had a significant stroke that left him seriously debilitated. He was sent home to die with dignity and respect. My mother contacted Bankers Life to "activate" his policy for home care. Believing in what the agent sold her (all lies).

She was told by MULTIPLE people at Banker's Life, "He (my father) met criteria for round the clock care 24 hours / 7 days a week". Any sane person would believe that meant Bankers Life would pay on the claims for round the clock care givers 24/7. WRONG!!! They failed to mention the BUT... He met criteria for round the clock care 24/7 BUT... the policy will only pay a maximum benefit of $120 a day. Now who knows anyone who will work for $5.00 a hour? No one. It's not American. It's below minimum wage. Disgraceful!!! Bankers Life is deceiving our elderly. They are selling them a pack of lies to get them to sign up for the policies. They had no problem taking the funds from my parents to pay the policy premiums, but they have all kinds of problems paying on the claims. I say it's Elder Abuse!!! When you call the company, you get a huge run around with empty promises that they will "look into it", and call you back. No such luck. "Customer Service" representatives are very rude. I spoke with five different people trying to help my mother, to no avail.

BEWARE!!!

BEWARE!!!

I can only hope someone will see this posting and avoid getting involved with Bankers Life & Casualty.

For my mother whom is 75 years old to have to go through this while trying to care for her 76 year old status post stroke husband of 54 years is a crying shame.

Again, I say to Banker Life & Casualty - SHAME on you!

Agressive hiring tactics
I went on an interview with this company after being contacted after having my resume posted on a job board. I had worked in the insurance industry previously and had no desire of a pure commission position. I left a message for the recruiter after some research that I wanted to cancel the "interview." Someone contacted me and assured me that I could receive a one on one immediately following the group session and that there were management positions they were seeking with base salary components. Against my better judgement, I went on this so called interview.

When I got to the interview I found a group of about 15- 20 folks, most with no sales experience which did not speak highly of their selectivity. They also lured the others with thought they would receive an interview, but only received a career overview and told to leave their resume (even though recruiting had their resume to invite them to the interview). Well, they flashed all kids of numbers to try to get you interested. Also, they stressed a couple times how lucky we were they were hiring. This is really funny because they don't hire, but just urge you to sign a contract for you to be an exclusive 1099 agent. So... you can expect fully to pay for all your testing, training, gas, contribute to their overhead, etc... Also they give new prospects a " recommended " schedule for 40 hours which includes three full office days. When I asked the branch manager later during a one on one what happens if you cannot follow their schedule and do three office days, he told me they withhold better leads.

Beware of companies that promote that they are hiring and have group interviews during a lousy economy. This speaks volumes about their selectivity (lack their of) and more about their high turnover rate for new hires. Basically, if you work for this company, be ready to invest for about six months, make tons of cold calls from their office, and hope their leads and training are as great as they told you. Use some common sense, if this company was so great, why would they be doing group interviews monthly and recruiters contacting you unsolicited?

There are some decent insurance companies to work for, but be very wary of exclusive captive agencies that invite you for an interview and only want to hire you on straight commission and want your total commitment, but won't take any risk on their part.

Scam
Well let me first say that this company does some nasty things to people. I was called for an interview with this company, so I was of course psyched, I was told it was for a management position, so I promptly show up for my interview, to find out it was with a class of about 20 people and then told it was the 1st step in the interview process, and the second interview, again I promptly went at my scheduled time, and yep you guessed it, there were about 15 people at this interview, and when I asked about if it was a management position and was told that you need to start out as an agent first then work your way up the latter to a management position, so I was called for the 3rd interview, showed up for that, I was surprised when I was the only candidate at the interview, they make it sound like you can make tons of money doing this agent thing, so I thought OK I will do what it takes, well I am discusted, I did their pretest crap only to fail it twice, but yet when I was at home doing the same "pretest" on thier website, I was passing with 85% or highr four times, so I thought for sure, it would ba a simple task to take the pretest at their place, but wow I was wrong, I failed twice, how is this possible, well then I thought, OK I guess this ins agency thing isn't for me, I will stay in my current field with earnings of 60K per year, so I called to see if I could get a refund of my $210, which is supposedly start up costs, and never even got a call back, all I can say is this company is making a killing on prospective employees, which are not able to pass the test to even start the job, hence why they probably only have 20 agents in their office. Remember they do this interview process each and every week with atleast 20 candidates interviewing, so they are definitly doing very well. Shame on them for the way they mislead people that are looking for jobs, only to find out they will be out money to even start the job, and then after you get the position(if you pass the test, then state exam, your first week is traing which you do not get paid for. I am thinking of calling my cousin that is an attorney or the local news station to see if this is a legal practice or if they are scamming people out of money, seems to me like a scam. OK I guess enough said, just use caution if you want to go work with this company.

Home Care Insurance
Last year my mother needed home care for about 7 weeks during cancer treatments. I have had nothing but trouble contacting Bankers in Chicago or the local office in Topeka, Kansas, and getting the correct forms. When I finally was sent the correct forms, a good six months had passed, but I tracked down 25 caregivers to fill out the forms I should have been sent when I first asked for this material. When I called to ask questions about the form (it was difficult to tell if it should be completed by the week or by the caregiver) I was told that none of the agents could meet with me because they were all out selling policies. When I said, "So, you are more interested in selling new policies than backing up the ones you have sold, " I got an 8:00 a.m. appointment with a representative who couldn't understand the forms either.

I had finally sent everything off and called the Chicago office to find out the status of the claim. I was told that it was difficult to understand the forms and to photocopy everything, receipts, forms, the spreadsheet I had made, etc., and resubmit it. Last week I got a letter accusing me of trying to file a duplicate claim! In the meantime, the check for one week of care that had been received was unable to be deposited and had to be returned. Calls to the Chicago office have been frustrating, they are rude and unhelpful, and only once have they bothered to return my calls.

How in the world does a sick and elderly person file a claim with these people? Do they hope the insured will just give up?

Return of money
Let me start out by saying I have 9 policies with Bankers Life and Casualty. Some are life insurance policies and I had 1 income replacement policy. My husband and I have 2 bank accounts, he is on Social Security Disability his disability check goes into one bank and the other bank is where we have a checking account, well every month I would have to transfer mymoney from the one bank to the other bank to pay on my life insurance policies, so my agent, Julie Griffith in which she is a great. Well we decided to swith everything to come out automatically from my husbands bank account that the disability check goes into. Well Bankers Life and Casualty didn't get the paperwork in time so I received $175.00 plus in fees. So Since January 5th, 2009 I have been fighting to get these fees back. Well Julie, my agent finally go everthing approved after 30 days, so this stupid guy who works at the home office in Indiana, his name is Ryan Hitz told my agent that he was overnighting my check on Thursday, February 5, 2009. I did not receive the check on Friday, Saturday, Monday. I called Julie and told her that the check has not come. She called her boss and they got a hold of the head office, in which this idiot works, and he calls me on Tuesday, Febraury 10, 2009 and tells me that it was tooo late for him to overnight it on Thursday, so he mailed it out on Friday regulary mail. I am so livid, I can't believe that people can be so inconsiderate with other peoples money. I asked him if it was his money he would have wanted ASAP. It's not like its 5 or 10 dollars, you are talking about almost $200.00 plus all the long distance phone calls I am getting charged on my cell phone and home phone and everthing else. I get a call from my agent today, Wednesday, February 11, 2009 she tells me that the check was sent out Friday, February 6, and it was sent to my daughters house. I am even more mad that he would send my check to my daughters house because he was toooo lazy to look up my address. My daughters has a life insurance police in which I am the owner but becasuse she is 19, and does not live with me they had to use her address for her policy, so that was the address that this idiot, Ryan saw first to he just sent the check to her, in which she said that the check still hasn't gotten to her house. I told my agent that this Ryan should be held accountable for his stupidity and not caring about my money. I am really considering changing companies, but my situation is this, we have been with this company for 9 months and my agent is awsome, and if I leave this company she will be the one who loses out. I just want my money and compensated for all the greaf and aggreavation that I have endured. I told Julie that if they are willing to waive my charges for all my insurance policies for next month I will keep them as an insurance agency. I feel like I have really gotten jurked around for 36 days that they have not paid me my money. I want justice. I am going to write everyone I can and tell my story until I have been justified.

It’s true they are crooks
I worked for BKC for two years, I personally saw or hear every excuse possible made to clients when it came time to get benefits paid. I emailed, sent registered mail, got home office people names and supervisor's assurances, things were being handled.

Ya, you guessed it, it dragged on, and on.

You name the excuse, the clients heard it. It took the insurance commissioner to get one client paid and LTC claim. I personally know a client that is currently getting the run-a-round about getting his LTC policy paid that he has been paying on for 15 years. It's been 9 weeks and still no money, even when the client has a two week elimination period. A field manager stated, "You pay the first two weeks, and then Bankers pays." Well, the money has run out, the help had to let go and Bankers is still reviewing the case! I could write more, but it almost too much to be true... One word - Beware!
