I have had AFLAC "coverage" for more than ten years. I had the policy for accidents (when you can't work etc) and the cancer policy. We have used the policy ONCE in all these years when my husband fell from the top of a barn back in the 90's and broke his arm. Otherwise, we have never used it and have paid close to $125 per month all this time. I try to remember to file the "wellness benefits" but oftimes forget ($150 total per year rebate).
In Novemeber-December of '07 I had something go amiss with my calf and I was in EXCRUCIATING pain and couldn't walk for two months. I went to doctors and therapists. AFLAC paid nothing. I missed two months of work during the busiest time of the year (I am a musician). Oh. They have a really hard time when you are self employed by the way. Esp when you are something like a musician. So I was a little miffed.
I got a card in the mail regarding "updating and reviewig" my present policy (apparently an excuse for you to go to the bother of calling THEM so that they can attempt to sell you even more insurance which you will never use) and left messages with FOUR local agents. I tried multiple times and NO ONE EVER returned my calls. Apparently once you have bought the policy and are paying for it, their job is over.
This is a bogus company. I have paid in more than $14K and have no more than maybe $1500 (rebates most unfiled) the one claim ($1500) to show for it. AFLAC is a bad investment. The duck sucks.
