14 thoughts on “What Does Aflac Cover?”

  1. I can say all my experience with Aflac has been great. It takes time especially when you have to get paperwork but I was on bedrest and 25 weeks pregnant. Now 28 weeks still on bedrest but I used my policy and they paid for every day I don’t work in 2 month inquires. It’s now Oct but I’m due in Jan but have a short cervix so best wishes. It took them 2 weeks to process and get paid 2 days direct deposit.

  2. I have finally sat down to submit for reimbursement on my Aflac policies. Aflac is extremely quick in issuing payments. For some claims, they added on benefits I did not know I was entitled to. Very happy with coverage and payments.

  3. Aflac is a reliable, honest company. My mom had Aflac for over two decades prior to me enrolling through my work 7 years ago. It helped her through some really tough times when we were younger, and has helped me significantly the past few years. They pay claims quickly and effectively communicate about any missing documentation for a claim.

  4. My husband and I have had three policies with AFLAC through my work for over 7 years. During that time, we’ve had occasion to file claims under each of the policies (cancer, specified event and accident). We have had nothing but great experiences with AFLAC – very responsive and quick to pay. Also, my AFLAC agent is great, very helpful. I would recommend AFLAC to anyone.

  5. I have been an AFLAC policyholder 8 years. I have about five different plans with AFLAC. I enrolled in these plans because I am on the road a lot and want to have an extra protection. I am very grateful that I have never had to use my AFLAC for serious things. However, I have used my plans for everyday things that can happen like falling on my knee, wellness, and even having a tooth injury. The claims process is as simple as using Aflac’s app. I highly recommend AFLAC!

  6. Aflac itself has unique insurance products. They pay cash to policy holders when you get sick or hurt. Each plan covers different things. Cancer plans cover cancer, accident plans cover accidents, etc. Aflac pays me quickly for claims, which I really appreciate that they are not like most insurance companies that take forever to process claims.

  7. My Husband fell 2 weeks after our Aflac went in effect. They have paid everything the say in a day after I send in the paperwork. I recommend it to anyone.

  8. Very upset aflac Puerto Rico service, I call they do not answer the phone I went personally and there was no technician available, he would attend to me from the office he contacted my representative I was to go to my work and it has been 4 months and he has not even called me I have 2 colleagues already given Low service in lousy Ponce PR I’m still trying to talk to a supervisor. I have been with aflac for 28 years and it is the first time that I have been assigned to such a busy superstore that she does not have time to help resolve policy issues. If I don’t get it this month, I canceled and I have 4 policies with aflac.

  9. I have been with Aflac for 4 years and when I got it, they told me that it covered on and off work and it turns out that they did not come out with that it only covers accidents outside of work?

  10. I have been trying for several days to communicate with the lady who attends me at AFLAC, the same one who made me my insurance policy, and there is no way for her to answer me.
    I have left him voice messages, I have sent him emails AND NOTHING, there is no way !!!
    If this is the attention, then from this moment I begin to PUBLISH my experience on all social networks and let SEE THE TRUTH about this company.
    In some calls, the little sign “CALL WAITING” appears, so the lady IS USING HER PHONE AND YES SHE IS SEEING THAT I AM CALLING HER.
    DOES NOT ANSWER BECAUSE IT DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE WIN … OR BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON IT DOESN’T SUIT YOU.

  11. I will NEVER use Aflac again!!! I’ve been off 4 weeks and have spent time and money running around getting documents filled out then emailed in. They tell me they never received any paperwork. I resent it to the agent and she uploaded it into their system herself. I’ve been hearing 24 to 48 hours for review process to be completed. Then I’d be paid but a week and still nothing.

  12. This company could care less about the people they hire. They collect all your licensing fees up front, no training, i know i trained several people myself to help them to try and make a living with aflac.
