Hi Amelia, 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. Claims take an average of 15 days to be completed. However, more complex cases can take up to 42 days currently. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for your patience. 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 would 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. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your claim(s) and coverage concerns with you.

“Pet best should cover a portion of prescription foods. I also think it should cover part of the spay and neuter because that is a wellness procedure that keeps pets healthy over a lifetime.”

Posted 1 year ago

Hi Courtney, thanks for sharing your thoughts as they’re important to us. To keep the premium more affordable for our Policyholders, prescription food or food of any kind is not covered by any of our policies, as it’s directly excluded. To have benefit for a Spay or Neuter, a Policyholder must subscribe to our BestWellness endorsement on their pet’s policy, as it’s the only endorsement where we offer benefit for a pet’s Spay or Neuter. If a Policyholder subscribes to EssentialWellness or doesn’t subscribe to a wellness endorsement at all on their pet's policy, there would be no coverage for a Spay or Neuter, as they’re a direct exclusion of our Accident and Illness policy. 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 the pet in a policy year. You can find the Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your coverage concerns with you. However, we are unable to go over specific information here, so you’ll need to contact us either by phone or by chat, so we can verify your information on a recorded line.

Hi Alan, we appreciate 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, and take an average of 15 days to be completed. However, more complex cases can take up to 42 days currently. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee specific claims outcomes, or the payment of a claim, until all information has been received and reviewed. Once a claim has completed processing, we send out an Explanation of Benefits via email. If the Explanation of Benefits shows a reimbursement for the claim, the first page of the Explanation of Benefits shows how the reimbursement will be sent, via claim check or direct deposit. It also states 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. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. We hope you have a good day. – PF

“I have insurance with a different company for another pet and I prefer that company for fast claim service and ease of filing claims. Their customer service has been great. PetsBest is ok but my experience has been that it can take a long time for a claim to be reviewed and approved. The last couple of claims were approved quickly but the one sent August 1st didn’t get approved until the end of August. I find filing a claim more difficult than with my other provider. It’s adequate.”

“I used to like them much better! As of lately the claim processing has taken 4-6 weeks or longer. Usually once I received the statement, the payment was credited to my account the next day, now it takes several days, after an already way too long waiting period while the claim was processing. Insurance rates go up, less coverages than a few months or a year ago. So not very happy or satisfied with them anymore.”

Hi Victoria, thank you for your time and feedback. We continually strive to deliver the best experience and apologize if any of your experiences with us have fallen short of that. We appreciate your effort to ensure the required information is received. When you receive an Accident and Illness claim Explanation of Benefits from us, if any of the processing went towards the copay 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 copay and deductible that must be met before reimbursing on eligible claims. Unfortunately, any condition that shows signs or symptoms prior to the policy start date or during the policy waiting periods, is not covered by the policy.

“I’m conflicted because both of my claims were approved however, it take’s over a month to get reimbursed, and the reason I chose them was because they boasted a fast reimbursement. So if you have an animal that needs multiple treatments (like chemotherapy) and you have to wait on the reimbursement to pay for the next treatment, then this is a big problem. Also the live chat is terrible. After 5 minutes it asks if you want to continue waiting but doesn’t let you select yes. Then it disconnects and sends you a transcript of nothing. When it comes to getting insurance for another animal I will probably look elsewhere.”

“The process for filing claims and being paid is long and not descriptive. Pets Best will require certain documents to process claims but, they wait weeks to let you know they need these documents. Which of course, delays the entire process. Their communication typically comes from an automated email that is sent out saying they will require additional items. If you contact them their customer service team is polite and engaging but cannot typically provide any additional information outside of call back around this date if you haven't heard anything. All in all, they are not terrible but the claim times and process could be streamlined a bit to support the customer more.”
