First Claim--Wellness

I recently adopted a cat and decided to insure her. I chose Embrace based on online reviews, plus they have a great wellness plan, which I purchased. I took my new cat to the vet for her vaccines and submitted the claim last Thursday via fax. I received an email that the fax was received and that I would hear something in 5-10 business days. It's now Monday and I just received an email that my reimbursement check is coming to me today. I'm impressed with the level of communication and the timeliness of communication. Already glad I decided to go with Embrace.

Terrible! Don't buy this insurance

We have had our dog since July 2012. She has been under the care of the same vet since the day we adopted her. She blew her ACL at 9 months old. Both her primary treating vet and the surgeon who repaired the knee said over and over again that this was an accident and not a pre-existing condition. Our vet contacted Embrace on multiple occasions and told them the same. Embrace denied the claim across the board. Earlier this month the same dog had a UTI. It was her second one in a year. Under Embrace's policy, this too was considered a pre-exiting condition. Again, claim denied. The only thing they have not denied is my automatic payment to a worthless policy every month! Now we're screwed for getting new coverage. BUYER BEWARE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS CRAPPY INSURANCE unless you like throwing money into a black hole! If you don't believe me, read the below which was taken directly from their denial e-mail to me. A snippet of their denial letter: I have reviewed Gabby's claim along with your pet insurance policy and based upon that review, I am sorry to inform you that this claim is not covered under your policy. Gabby's medical history indicates that she had signs of polyuria (i.e. increased urination) on 5/13/2013, which was prior to the start of your policy coverage. As such, this initiated an exclusion to coverage for polyuria (and any related conditions - such as urinary tract infections). It is a temporary exclusion (as we deem something like polyur

Easy and efficient service

I have never had to use Embrace for any serious treatment for my dog. However for a multitude of wellness checks and minor issues, Embrace has been wonderful. It's easy to submit a claim and they are usually processed in a timely manner. Thank you, Embrace!

Emergency

Embrace has been wonderful. My dog became very ill one day last month. We rushed him that Tuesday evening to the VCA emergency animal hospital. Getting the VCA to fax over the paperwork has been a little difficult, but once it was in Embrace definitely did their part. I really like the email communication as they keep you updated each step of the way while processing your reimbursement. I absolutely recommend Embrace pet insurance with no hesitations!
