I pay more than what they cover. I will have to reconsider the value of Pets Best Pet Health Insurance. I have two of my dogs covered with this insurance. I pay over $1000 a year for both of them. Right now, their pet bills exceed the approximately $500 a piece that I pay. For example, I had to take my 2 year old dog to the ER Vet. The bill came out to about $500. Insurance would only pay about $170. I have had other issues where I am paying more out of pocket for my dogs’ medical bills than the insurance will cover. I should just start saving $1000 per year in a fund and use it when need be especially during emergencies.

Hi Katie, 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 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. 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. Our chat hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of assistance and hope you have a good day. – PF

Pretty disappointed with the outcome of my only claim filed with Pets Best. My dog had to go into operation for periodontal disease tooth extraction and the claim agent excluded the cost of anesthesia determining it was part of “ordinary care” and not for the extractions. Conveniently this cost was the biggest line item cost on my bill, and brought the Pet’s Best portion owed to about the annual deductible. Not sure if other providers are better, but definitely feels like Pet’s Best is looking to fleece it’s customers. I’ll be switch providers next year.

Paid 1.5 yr of premiums - that's ok. Had emergency vet trip re my Lab's paw, limping. Didn't see any injury on outside of paw. Vet had to EXAMINE him to determine what was wrong with paw - it was an internal injury caused by foxtail. Found that exams weren't covered unless it's added to my policy. I understand a wellness exam not being covered, BUT a vet has to EXAMINE a pet to determine cause. I'll be cancelling policy at end of the year. If I rewrote the policy they would charge another deductible and not cover pre-existing causes.

Hi Carolyn, thanks for your time and feedback. Unfortunately, Policyholders can only add supplemental benefits (e.g., Office Visits/Exam Fees, Take Home Prescriptions, and Rehab/Acupuncture/Chiropractic) within the first 30 days of the policy as long as no claims have been filed. After the first 30 days of the policy, the Policyholder would have to choose to re-write the policy to add supplemental benefits. This would mean canceling the existing policy and starting a new one. On the re-written policy, there would be a new deductible to meet, a new start date for the new policy, and new waiting periods, which would be 3-days for Accidents, 14-days for Illnesses, and 6 months for Cruciate Ligament Injuries. These waiting periods would start from the effective date of the policy. Any condition that shows signs or symptoms prior to the new policy start date or during the new policy waiting periods wouldn’t be covered by the new policy. We appreciate your feedback so that we can continue to work towards better customer satisfaction, and hope you have a good rest of your day. – PF

I’m not happy why do we have to pay a copay on top of the deductible
Helpful Report

Hi Miriam, thanks for your time and feedback. Our newer Accident and Illness policies are Annual policies that have a Policyholder chosen Co-pay, Deductible and Limit. 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.

Since Nov of last year, one of my claim requests remained open until this week. There was no timely effort on Pet Health Insurance but when you did and prompt action was taken the claim remained day after day with dozens of calls seeking assistance. The personnel called were less than helpful except for one lady named Linda. She spotted a problem with the sourcing of your information. Once she did that, I felt things would move fast but nothing.

While I have been with Pets Best for awhile now, I must say that their costs have risen expedentially and it takes way too long for claims to be processed. I have done research with other providers and when my insurance renews this year and I no longer need to have the well care - I will be switching.

Pretty poor coverage for wellness and long time waiting for a response and refund. Sometimes even if you upload all files you have they respond they need some more to not pay their dues. Last year with PetsBest, for real

Hi Barbara, thanks for your time and feedback. We regret to hear this will be your last year with us. We continually strive to deliver the best experience and apologize if any of your experiences with us have fallen short of that. 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.

I am constantly calling to find out where my reimbursements are. I’ve been given two different reimbursements and have yet to see any money. I’ve added additional coverage on the phone and was told it was be applied immediately, only to be denied coverage. This insurance has yet to be worth it for me.

Hi Marshal, thanks for your time and feedback. When we send out an Explanation of Benefits, if it shows a reimbursement for the claim, the first page of the Explanation of Benefits advises how the reimbursement will be sent, via claim check or direct deposit. The Explanation of Benefits also advises to allow 5 to 7 days for a claim check to arrive, or if the Policyholder has signed up for direct deposit to allow 5 to 7 days for bank processing time. If you have any other questions, you’re welcome to reach out to us, we’d be happy to help. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237.
