“It seems expensive & they only covered a bit of the expenses.”

Hi Hazel, thanks 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. Policyholders can review options to reduce their premium by logging into their account on our website at www.petsbest.com and going to the Benefits button under their pet’s name. When you receive an Accident and Illness claim Explanation of Benefits from us, if any of the processing went toward the deductible or co-pay, 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 deductible and co-pay 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 Policy Documents and Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. We’d be happy to go over your claims, coverage, and options to reduce your premium 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. MDT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MDT. You can also chat with an agent by logging into our website at www.petsbest.com and clicking on the blue speaking bubbles. Our chat hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MDT and Saturday from 7:00 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 Donald, 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 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 usually be held to the medical claim processing time as we process the invoice in its entirety for both. We apologize for any disappointment this has caused and thank you for your patience. We hope you have a great rest of your day. – PF

Hi Thomas, thanks for your time and feedback. We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dog as we understand that losing a pet is like losing a family member. If both of your pet’s policies were under the same Underwriter, you probably had a multi-pet discount that unfortunately you were no longer eligible for when you canceled your deceased pet’s policy. Also, 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.

Hi Robin, thanks for your time and feedback. 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.
