“Very little is covered and claim review takes a long time”

Posted 2 years ago

Hi Deanna, 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 42 days and wellness claims within 18 days currently. However, if there’s a wellness claim with medical treatment on the invoice, the wellness claim may be held to the medical claim processing time as we process the invoice in its entirety for both. 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. 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. 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 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. 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. Another available option is to chat with an agent by logging into our website at www.petsbest.com and clicking on the blue speaking icon.

We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of assistance and hope you have a great rest of your day. – PF

“I am not sure of the value of this group right now. I submitted a claim and to my understanding what was paying for was pretty much covered. I do not believe right at this moment what is paid monthly and the misleading coverages and reimbursement that there is any value at all.”

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 Illnesses, 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. 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 supporting documentation to us.

“The plan should cover more than illness or accident. The wellness plan should increase the dental allowance to $1000 they may have to charge more but the price I’d dental cleaning is $500. -$2000 and $50 is way to low as a reimbursement. Give clients more choices when choosing a plan”

“They take forever to review your claim. Hardly ever get any type of refund. I sent my claim over twice plus mailed a copy and was told that it couldn’t be read and that they never received the one by mail. I then had to go to staples and fax it over. Out of over $400 I am supposed to get $10. I had already met my deductible. My dog had to have biopsies done and Pets Best didn’t even cover that. I paid for wellness and illness. I won’t be renewing my policy. I am looking for a new pet insurance right now.”

“I am in the middle of an active claim, the first I have ever had with any pet insurance company. As of right now, I am feeling sort of 'meh' about the entire process. I may update this at a later time, good or bad. I have an ongoing situation with my pet, involving ER vets, diagnostic imaging, etc. The claim submission process has been less than simple. Because all of the claims are for the same overall situation and just on different days, if further information is needed, the communication on the part of Pets Best has been pretty lousy, to be honest. I get a 'form letter' type email that doesn't give accurate information on what they truly need or even what is wrong with the information submitted. And of course, the one that is taking the longest to approve is the highest dollar figure. The reason claimed for the hold-up was explained in the original submission. So, we are at 3 weeks and still waiting on those charges to be approved.”

I have been cc’d on the emails back to Pets Best and so you have the required records. Your system is broken which is prob why claim payments are delayed.

“I have both Pets Best and Nationwide Insurance for my four dogs. Nationwide does not require nearly as much documentation from the veterinarians, nor do they ask me to follow up with the vet's office to get documents as Pets Best has done. The claim processing time is substantially less with Nationwide (Nationwide generally pays me within a week from filing the claim while Pets Best is taking 30 to 40 days to just process each claim). I also had a drug be excluded at Pets Best due to not being on their formulary list. I have no idea why this drug would not be included on their list since it is a commonly used veterinary drug. Nationwide has never denied any of my claims. Additionally, Pets Best sent me an email saying that one of my claims was a duplicate when it wasn't. This mistake on their part required me to spend my time following up with Pets Best to make sure both claims were processed. The only reason that I chose Pets Best for my new puppies was their high rating on the Forbes list. I am regretting this decision.”

“First time using them and it seemed to all go really well. Downside is that the vet expressed that they have no idea how to know what will and won't be covered for the plan as insurance doesn't talk with them at all - so not sure if they had an idea if that would have helped change the bill at all or not, so I expected it to cover more than half of the expenses for a wellness visit and it did not, but I suppose anything is better than nothing.”

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. 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.

“I filed my first claim with Pet’s Best. It was for my 5-year old cat’s annual checkup. I was surprised, and somewhat disappointed to find exclusion after exclusion to the claim. I guess that’s how insurance companies make their money.”

“When I think about what I pay per month and when I look at what I get reimbursed… I don’t know if it’s worthy. $150 for an annual blood work, reimbursed $50… feline leukemia vaccine non reimbursed… I might rethink having insurance…”
