“Resolution to my pet’s dental coverage appeal took 3 months (it did say that on the email). What infuriated me was that it seemed I was made to wait on purpose as there was no movement during the first 2 months of waiting, and then the last 3 wks before the deadline, I received an email requesting more documents. Lo and behold, a decision (declined) was released only a few days after I submitted the additional documents. Could’ve asked me for those during the first month of the appeal. Their help line for coverage assistance wasn’t very helpful either even though I asked for advice on how much will possibly be covered/not covered before I brought my pet in for teeth extractions. Don’t waste your money on this, you’d save more on other insurance or just straight up paying out of pocket.”

“They have 2 review processes. One is a quick review. If a new diagnosis is on the same invoice as a pre-existing condition you have to submit an appeal form. If I knew this, I would NOT have chosen Pets Beat. I do appreciate they have people who answer the phones and try and help resolve issues. Although when a “manager” left her return number she was inaccessible.”

Hi Victoria, thank you for your time and feedback.

The Accident and Illness policy waiting periods are 3-days for Accidents, 14-days for Illness, and 6 months for Cruciate Ligament events. These waiting periods start from the effective date of the policy. If the condition is not coverable, then the diagnostics and treatments are not covered for that condition.

My contract started over on 1/25 and and they denied my yearly claims on my wellness. It takes forever to get them on the phone. The people in customer services are helpless and can do nothing. I have asked for a manager to call me, I had to send over 5 follow up emails and three calls prior to one calling me back and they left a generic message and told me to call back the general line. Go with embrace I am switching. My mother has them and none of the issues I have and the money is in the account next week. Read their Facebook page they have others saying the same thing.

“I think it’s a ripoff. I haven’t seen much in reimbursement despite having the wellness coverage. Then after six months, just after my dog turned 2, they increased my monthly premium by 40%, citing an increase in claims in my zip code across all breeds. My dog is 2!! If you’re giving me a 40% increase with zero illnesses what’s going to happen when my dog is 10 and has a few conditions? This is outrageous! I will find another pet insurance policy from a company that isn’t trying to rip off its customers.”

Hi Susan, thanks for your time and feedback. We’re sad to hear you’ll be looking for another insurer for your pet. Premium increases happen at your renewal or your anniversary date with us. That’s when we consider your pet to be a year older. The premium at renewal is not based on the claims you’ve submitted, but it is based on your pet’s age, breed, and the cost of veterinary care in your local zip code area. As pets age, their odds of needing medical care increase, as do the odds this care will be more expensive. Premium changes occur annually at renewal to balance these age-related health risks with rising medical care needs. You can review the options to reduce your premium by logging into your account on our website at www.petsbest.com and going to the Benefits button under your pet’s name. 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 Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. Policyholders can request to add, change or remove the wellness endorsement within 30 days prior to their renewal (anniversary date with us) for the effective date of their renewal by logging into their account on our website and clicking on Benefits underneath their pet’s name, or by contacting our Customer Care Team.

Unfortunately, when we require your pet’s medical records from all treating veterinarians for the year prior to the policy start to process a claim, and we do not receive all the required medical records from your veterinarian(s) by the time we need to process the claim, we deny the claim for lack of medical records. However, once we receive the required medical records, we open a resubmit claim and process it. If there are multiple claims we’ve denied for lack of medical records, we open one resubmit claim and attach the invoices from all the claims we denied due to lack of medical records to the one new claim and process it.

Hi Peter, thank you for your time and feedback. Rest assured, your claim processing time is a top priority for us, as we are continually focused on enhancing our efficiency and reducing the time it takes to process claims. Claims are processed in the order they are received. Medical claims are processed within 35 days and wellness claims within 18 days currently. However, if there is a wellness claim with medical treatment on the invoice, the wellness claim will be held to the medical claim processing time as we must process the invoice in its entirety for both. 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.

“Filing claims is awful. Everything will get denied unless it’s 1 item on the invoice. You cannot claim 1 item on a multiple line invoice. Payouts are very low and I’m already shopping for another provider.”

Hi Jim, thank you for your time and feedback. We’re sad to hear you’re shopping for another provider. 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 will be in the ineligible column, and the Explanation section will 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. Unfortunately, any condition that shows signs or symptoms prior to the policy start or during the policy waiting periods, is not covered by the policy. The Accident and Illness policy waiting periods are 3-days for Accidents, 14-days for Illness, and 6 months for Cruciate Ligament events. These waiting periods start from the effective date of the policy. If the condition is not coverable, then the diagnostics and treatments are not covered for that condition. 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.
