Two hours and 6 staff members just to get a quote for one employee!

published

It took two hours to get a quote with Icare this morning for one part-time employee! There is no category for charities or non-profits, even though it's one of the largest employers in NSW! The time spent on the phone being given conflicting advice every time cost more in my time than the insurance policy itself. If they don't even know how to quote, god help us if we ever need to claim through them.

Agree with other comments here, their monopoly is a joke. They clearly need some competition to lift their game and perhaps consider including the massive charity sector in NSW as an industry.

Very poor processes

published

Endless to and fro of invoices and emails every year that ends in confusion each time. They do not know what they are doing. There should not be a monopoly for such an industry. They need competition to lift their game.

Sending predatory invoices for non existent policy

published

Received a claim through a lawyer chasing payments on insurance policy that I never had. Lawyer never provided requested further particulars and in the end they withdrew the claim at pre-trial hearing. Count me in for a class action claim against this unethical company.

worst billing system

published

I have just received out account due today at 3.43pm. How can their billing system be so out of touch as to send an account that is due that day. No reminder, no account. Really.

Unbelievable incompetence

I was unlucky enough to need this insurance just as Icare took over the monopoly. I paid 4 times as much as all my peers. I cannot explain the nightmare

The worst service I have seen

published

An employee got injured 3 months ago. The problem is that we have been waiting for the refund from Icare for more than 2 months now. My employee and I have been calling Icare since the beginning, every calling takes us about an hour because the attendants keep we waiting or transferring our calling from one to another. What happens in the end of every call is that the attendant says that the payment is gonna be made but till now nothing. Not even an explanation. That is only the main problem but really the service is disgusting. By now I keep calling them but I do not believe that the payment is gonna come through. Just to prove what I am saying you can check the email I asked for to one of the attendants.

Out of control and irresponsible for its organizations actions.

published

I have been waiting for refund and calculation process to be completed for over two years as our company down sized significantly.
Multiple emails and hours of phone calls which end up with non-matching data.
Then supposedly sorted out, but to date no confirmation.
Now again I have been sent a bill after multiple assurances i would receive a refund.
Multiple emails and hours of phone calls which end up with non-matching data.
This just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
Nobody who can take responsibility and get it sorted and confirmed.
Terrible terrible terrible, who can you turn to??? It's like a nightmare!!
Appears to be monopolized irresponsible headless monster/machine.

Obstructive, occasionally rude, Shocking m monopoly of services.

published

It's almost pointless writing a review when NSW businesses have no choice but to use this company. I have a degree yet can't seem to manage to get the paperwork for a claim acceptable. Have never claimed in 11 years and now that I have one it has been months and still no money back for me. I would change in a heartbeat if I could. Will be writing letters to minister...should be illegal NOT to have alternative.

I have been owed money for more than 1 year and now find I am legally obliged to pay again for a current year even though money has been outstanding to me now more than 12 months. I have wasted days of my life on the phone trying to deal with this. Cluster cluck was the term used by the last person I spoke to in relation to this, there are thousands of people with money outstanding.......

They gave me what I would never have been able to get myself

published

Formerly, Lifetime Care and support, (insurance for road users obtaining injuries in NSW) literally made my life so much easier. They approached me in 2012 and outlined the role they played. After years of ironing out some creases the company has soared. Just an insight, they accomodate my spinal injury 100% my medication, car modification and anything relating to my injury. Ultimately helping me with what can only be estimated at a million or more $$ in support.

Unable to view their invoice attachments on an iPad account in arrears.

published

All communication is via email, I got a letter from the debit collection agency, then I call icare they say I was automatically rolled over from QBE.
They say they have been emailing the invoice, yes emails have no attachments, yes there is a problem with iPad Apple users viewing our attachments. Wow so I have never gotten an invoice then. So how can you collect a debt on something never received.

Questions & Answers

ELIZABETH CHEETHAM

ELIZABETH CHEETHAMasked

I was terminated from my employment because of injuries at work and received a termination payment which included my annual leave long service leave and 5 weeks in lieu of notice . I was receiving weekly payments from insurance company when terminated. The insurance company have ceased my payments for 5 weeks saying the 5 weeks in lieu are counted as earnings. Yet in your icare manual it states pay in lieu is not counted as renumeration. I believe the payment in lieu is entitlements ( 4 weeks) and a extra week for being 58 years old. I have been told this is a grey ares by wiro and want to know why it isnt black and white for all and clear in the icare manual please ?
