Hi Maureen, thank you for your time and feedback. When there is a claim with both medical treatment and wellness items on the invoice, we split the claim into two claims and process one for Accident and Illness, and one for Wellness. 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. 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. 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 or by logging into our website www.petsbest.com and clicking on the blue speaking bubbles to chat with an Agent. Our hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MDT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MDT. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of further assistance and hope you have a great rest of your day. – PF

Hi Deborah, 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 25 days currently. We apologize for any inconvenience your claims submittals have caused and thank you for your patience. 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 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.

“In recent years claims processing took way too long! Surprisingly my most recent claim was processed quickly. I am hoping Pets Best continues to pay in a timely manner. Customers are required to pay their premiums on time and we should be given the same respect. Waiting months to be reimbursed is unacceptable.”

“They are pretty quick about paying back for vet visits. My biggest complaint is the itemize the coverage. So technically I don’t get 90% coverage on my vet visit. I get 90% coverage for each item. Sucks when you have a $2000 bill and you’re not getting 90% back when you’re spending more than $200 a month on insurance for a senior dog.”

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 is 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.

“I only gave 3 stars because my pet had an eye issue, and they refused to cover it even though the Vet wrote them and said this particular issue was not due to a previous one as they were claiming. I also feel as though they raised premiums without cause or warning, and suddenly, there is a "deductible" that needs to be met before being reimbursed. I never experienced this the first year we were with them.”

Hi Lori, thank you for your time and feedback. 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 Injuries. 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. Anytime a Policyholder is in dispute of a claim that has been denied as a pre-existing condition and wants us to review their claim further, the Policyholder can submit an Appeal Form with substantiating documentation to us. We have two levels of appeal available. If the first level appeal is Upheld, the Policyholder can file a second level appeal which would be sent to an Independent Medical Examiner for review. Appeals are processed within 90 days currently. Premium increases happen at your renewal or your anniversary date with us. That’s when we consider your pet to be a year older.

“I wish they paid for wellness since that’s what an insurance is mainly supposed to do. Regular medical and pet medical, that part makes no sense to me. However the reimbursement has not been too bad. And customer service is a hit or miss sometimes. But usually you get a nice person to speak with, or knowledgeable person. I was given the run around regarding a pre-authorization vs. getting surgery done then trying to get reimbursed, I was told different but a few of your employees and it lead me to the frustration of just getting the surgery regardless and hoping for the reimbursement. This is why I’m giving 3 stars. I don’t like that no one had a direct protocol on what to do with a large claim or pre-auth such as this.”

“Pets Best has always been responsive when I need them, and the EOB after a claim is reviewed is always very transparent. My biggest issue is claim processing time - it could be weeks without hearing anything. When you’re waiting for a reimbursement, that’s a long time. It’s also not consistent - one claim could take a week and another could take 4-5 weeks. If they fix that issue though, I really have no complaints.”

Hi Michele, thank you for your time and feedback. 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 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. We’d be happy to go over your options to reduce your premium with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237 or by logging into our website www.petsbest.com and clicking on the blue speaking bubbles to chat with an Agent. Our hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MDT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MDT. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of further assistance and hope you have a great rest of your day. – PF
