“Great transaction, no issues. Just wish we understood the copay and deductible better.”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Jason, thanks for your time and feedback. We’re happy to hear you had a great transaction, with no issues. 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. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your claim and coverage concerns 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.

“It could give faster responses, as sometimes it takes too much time. It could be even more specific about what will cover the insurance, either if calling or an online estimator of common cases that could happen. When I called they were not able to tell me if XYZ treatment will be covered, they always said that they need to wait for the Vet report. And if you have an estimator tool online I could not find it, and the details of the policy are too broad, it will be nice for you to have a list of possible cases (at least the one that you identify as the most common ones)”

Hi Jim, 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 towards the co-pay or deductible, that means the claimed condition was coverable. If a claim was 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. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee specific claims outcomes, or the payment of a claim, until all information has been received and reviewed.

“Normally I'm pretty satisfied with the insurance. But this time I'm not satisfied at all. I took and purchased two chewable tabs for flea and tick protection and the insurance did not cover it and partially cover the annual heartworm shot protection. Basically saying it was outside of the physical policy amount. They gone up on the insurance payments an are covering less than they use to.”

You can find your Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. Policyholders can request to change or remove the 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. 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 the premium by logging into your account on our website and going to the Benefits button under your pet’s name. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over the options to reduce the premium with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237.

“The reimbursement is ALWAYS less than anticipated. I pay $100. Month and was reimbursed $6 (of $200) for an annual wellness visit plus heart guard, ultimately paying $297 total. What is a wellness benefit if ultimately penalized for well visits and preventive care? There are other providers with better wellness benefits better off having catastrophic insurance.”
