Two stars represents my experience through multiple phone calls to have my claims settled, not the end result. I was quoted 3 different time frames when it came to completing my claims. I was so frustrated I decided to cancel. Not a single rep reached out to ask why. It wasn’t until I was transferred to a supervisor was I able to get what I need. The supervisor was phenomenal and very helpful with finishing up my claims. I am happy my claims are finished and that I have moved on.

Really a pain to get reimbursement checks. We had to submit receipts multiple times. Slow response times. Needlessly complicated. The app is worthless.

I used to love PetsBest insurance and recommended them to everyone. My opinion has changed unfortunately, and I no longer recommend them. The price hikes of $20 last year and $30 this year for each pet is extreme. I’ve been with them since 2017, and I honestly feel like it was a wast of money. I’ve already switched two of my dog to a different insurance, they offered better coverage, at a cheaper price. I’d look elsewhere for Pet insurance.

Hi Melissa, thanks for your time and feedback. We regret to hear that you’ve already switched two of your dogs to another provider. 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 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 your premium with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237.

My main issue with Pets Best is their claim process. It's extremely SLOW. It's usually about a month or longer for reimbursement which is unacceptable. My dog doesn't have allergies yet any claim with allergies is denied even though I sent in my pet's history and my vet agrees that he was never formally diagnosed. I am considering moving to another insurer.

Hi Valerie, thanks for your time and feedback. 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. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your claims and coverage concerns with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237.

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.

Pets best has denied most of my claims because they state the illness or injury is from preexisting conditions. Some claims involve my dog eating a foreign substance so I do not agree with their decision. Another claim involved a limp which is not resolved after treatment.

While your administration is adequate, your provisions for calculating the payable amount for a claim are not performed to benefit your clients. While your marketing brochure states there may be a deductible, as well as a copayment, your definition of a copayment is incorrect and misleading. First, a copayment is a specified dollar amount not a percentage of the charged amount. Second, a copayment charge stands alone, by itself, without any other charges accessed. These are standard insurance provisions that have been structured to your advantage and not your customers. You, to your customer's disadvantage, incorrectly process allocations of charges in processing a claim. You charge your copayment then you allocate charges to the plan deductible. This process only extends the dollar amount needed before the deductible is fulfilled. As already noted a "copayment" is never to be charged as well as a deductible on a claim. Additionally, you are charging coinsurance, not a copayment. You have taken the liberty to make up your definitions and process claims to your advantage, not your customers. I WILL NEVER REFER YOUR PLAN TO ANYONE. While you stand upon your representation that what you do is "legal", it is not in the interest of your customers.

Hi Darien, thanks for your time and feedback. We’re glad to hear that customer service wise, you feel we’re great. However, we regret to hear that you’ll be canceling your pet’s policy with us. 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. 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 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 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. 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.

Long timeliness for claims to be processed properly
Helpful Report

Hi Josh, 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. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience. We hope you have a good day. - PF
