Hi Christine, thanks for your time and feedback. Rest assured, we’re continually focused on enhancing efficiency and reducing the time it takes to process claims. Claims are processed in the order they’re received. Medical claims are processed within 35 days and wellness claims within 18 days currently. However, if there’s a wellness claim with medical treatment on the invoice, the wellness claim will usually be held to the medical claim processing time as we process the invoice in its entirety for both. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience. Our Wellness Endorsements are a set schedule of benefits that are not subject to a deductible or co-pay. Each line item on the schedule is the maximum the policy will pay for that line item for your pet in a policy year. Unfortunately, your pet may use up the benefits quickly depending on what your veterinarian charges for their services. To keep the additional premium for the Wellness Endorsements reasonable for our Policyholders, they are not designed to fully cover all your wellness needs, but to assist you with the financial burden of your pet’s annual wellness care by providing some reimbursement of what you paid to your veterinarian for their services. You can find your policy documents and wellness schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. We’d be happy to go over your claims with you. However, we’d need you to contact us either by phone or by chat so we can access your policy and verify it on a recorded line. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT. Another available option is to chat with an agent by logging into our website at www.petsbest.com and clicking on the blue speaking bubbles.

This process was terrible. I need some one to call me and explain my bill. I am most likely going to be switching providers. I pay for the top tier insurance and it barely covered anything.

Hi Reynaldo, thanks for your time and feedback. We’re sad to hear you’ll most likely be switching providers. When you receive an Accident and Illness claim Explanation of Benefits from us, if any of the processing went toward the co-pay or deductible, that means the claimed condition was coverable. If a claim is denied or ineligible for coverage the amount would be in the ineligible column, and the Explanation section would show why it was denied. Keep in mind all Accident and Illness policies have a Policyholder chosen per pet co-pay and deductible that must be met before reimbursing on eligible claims. It is written into our newer underwriter’s Accident and Illness policy that we apply the Policyholder’s chosen Co-Insurance, minus the Policyholder’s chosen Deductible, up to the Annual Limit of the policy. What this means is, on an eligible Accident and Illness claim, we apply the Co-Insurance percentage first to all eligible line items, and then the Annual Deductible, and what’s remaining is the Reimbursement, up to the Annual Limit of the Policy. That’s because the Policyholder is responsible for the Co-Insurance percentage on the entire eligible invoice, even before meeting the Annual Deductible for the policy year. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee specific claims outcomes, or the payment of a claim, until all information has been received and reviewed. Our Wellness Endorsements are a set schedule of benefits that are not subject to a deductible or co-pay. Each line item on the schedule is the maximum the policy will pay for that line item for your pet in a policy year.

Pets Best has made a clearly unfair decision to my claim. First, it took more than 6 weeks for Pets Best to make a decision. Second, Pets Best based on incomplete information, and partial evidence to decline a exams with reason of "pre-existing conditions". "Pre-existing" seems to be a super token for them to decline customers' claims if they don't want to cover. My dog has never been diagnosed with Urination Inconsistency by any doctor. It was only based on my own words mentioning that I noticed some urine dripping about a year ago, but it went away. There is no medical records to prove that my dog has urination incontinence. It's like if your dog had diarrhea a year ago, they would consider anything related to diarrhea is "pre-existing". Because of they determined my dog had "urination incontinence" as a pre-existing conditions, they don't even cover urinalysis test. This is outrageous!! Urinalysis is a very common test to see if there's any infection and to seen any abnormal chemicals in the urine. Just based on my own words of "dripping urine", they rejected to pay for the test! Plus, Pets Best is very dishonest on calculating the payment amount. According to the policy, after customer has paid the deductible, anything left over after the deductible, would be calculated by the percentage based on the plan you buy. However, Pets Best used the whole amount (including the original deductible portion) to calculate the co-pay amount that I owe. Be aware of this insurance company! Very dishonest and sneaky. They will find any loophole of not paying

They literally take advantage of their 35 day policy… be ready not to hear any tbh info from them for 35 days after filing the claim. Requested for medical records, which is ok… if the vet doesn’t answer to their email they’ll just assume no cooperation and decline the claim Over the phone they all answer with an attitude… no customer service at all

Hi Vanessa, thanks for your time and feedback. A Policyholder can chose to add one of our Wellness Endorsements to their pet’s policy for the effective date of their renewal for an additional premium. Our Wellness Endorsements are a set schedule of benefits that are not subject to a deductible or co-pay. Each line item on the schedule is the maximum the policy will pay for that line item for your pet in a policy year. Policyholders can request add a wellness endorsement within 30 days prior to their renewal (anniversary date with us) for the effective date of their renewal, or within 30 days after their renewal for the effective date of their renewal, as long as they haven’t taken their pet to the veterinarian from their renewal date to the date they make the request. You can find the wellness schedule which includes the additional premium cost information on our website at www.petsbest.com by hovering over Pet Insurance Plans and selecting Pet Wellness Plans.

Hi Warren, thanks for your time and feedback. Under the Accident and Illness policy, the Dental Coverage Section advises of the requirements that must be met for your pet to be eligible for Periodontal Disease coverage. There, it advises that for your pet to be eligible for Periodontal Disease coverage, your pet must be free of any signs of Periodontal Disease prior to the Policy Effective Date or during any Waiting Period, and beginning at three years of age, your pet’s teeth must have been cleaned and examined under general anesthesia by a Veterinarian in the thirteen months before the date of service for the Periodontal Disease claim. Any Periodontal Disease found during the prior teeth cleaning mentioned above must have been treated before Periodontal Disease coverage becomes available for your pet. Rest assured, we’re continually focused on enhancing efficiency and reducing the time it takes to process claims. Claims are processed in the order they’re received. Medical claims are processed within 35 days and wellness claims within 18 days currently.

My claim process was delayed. The reimbursement was not what I expected at the 90%.

Hi James, thanks for your time and feedback. Rest assured, we’re continually focused on enhancing efficiency and reducing the time it takes to process claims. Claims are processed in the order they’re received. Medical claims are processed within 35 days and wellness claims within 18 days currently. However, if there’s a claim with invoices that span over two policy terms, we would need to split the claim into two claims and this could affect processing time. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience. Our Wellness Endorsements are a set schedule of benefits that are not subject to a deductible or co-pay. Each line item on the schedule is the maximum the policy will pay for that line item for your pet in a policy year. Unfortunately, your pet may use up the benefits quickly depending on what your veterinarian charges for their services. To keep the additional premium for the Wellness Endorsements reasonable for our Policyholders, they are not designed to fully cover all your wellness needs, but to assist you with the financial burden of your pet’s annual wellness care by providing some reimbursement of what you paid to your veterinarian for their services. You can find your Policy Documents and Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. We’d be happy to go over your claims and coverage with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT.

3USD out of a 317USD claim is just insulting

Hi Francesco, thanks for your time and feedback. When you receive an Accident and Illness claim Explanation of Benefits from us, if any of the processing went toward the co-pay or deductible, that means the claimed condition was coverable. If a claim is denied or ineligible for coverage the amount would be in the ineligible column, and the Explanation section would show why it was denied. Keep in mind all Accident and Illness policies have a Policyholder chosen per pet co-pay and deductible that must be met before reimbursing on eligible claims. It is written into our newer underwriter’s Accident and Illness policy that we apply the Policyholder’s chosen Co-Insurance, minus the Policyholder’s chosen Deductible, up to the Annual Limit of the policy. What this means is, on an eligible Accident and Illness claim, we apply the Co-Insurance percentage first to all eligible line items, and then the Annual Deductible, and what’s remaining is the Reimbursement, up to the Annual Limit of the Policy. That’s because the Policyholder is responsible for the Co-Insurance percentage on the entire eligible invoice, even before meeting the Annual Deductible for the policy year. You can find your Policy Documents under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. We’d be happy to go over your claims and coverage with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT.
