Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

I just received a payment on my first claim with Embrace. They decided that ALL the charges that I submitted were coverable, including tax, and the claims payment was exactly what I hoped for. The claim was for charges associated with a lower back injury that my dog suffered. I was concerned that the claim would be denied as a preexisting condition because he had had trouble with his lower back once before we bought the Embrace policy--most insurance companies would find any excuse to call that a preexisting condition. But not Embrace. They contacted me to ask for details about the two injuries, and I appreciated the opportunity to explain why the two injuries were unrelated. Communication with customer service was easy, and they kept me posted on the status of my claim. I was a longtime customer of VPI prior to switching to Embrace, and I'll never look back!

I also had a terrible experience w/VPI after a few years with them. I am a certified medical coder so know all to well insurance terminology and coverage issues. I have submitted a couple of claims and have been taken care of in a timely fashion. I am comfortable with their expertise and I also admire their concern with my beloved pets!!

My entire experience with Embrace has been fanatstic. They stand head and shoulders over VPI. Contact response time has been fast and personal. Their detailed explanations have been clear and easy to understand as is the website where they have everything needed to make an informed decision.

What I have found most excellent about Embrace is not only do they cover what most other companies don't, you can customize your policy to be affordable. Anyone with a multiple dog household knows how expensive it can be to have multiple policies. By taking the largest deductible & co-pay, along with the highest yearly payout ($10,000), plus I took coverage for prescriptions and continuing care, I was able to get a policy for my Great Dane for under $250 a year! Anyone reading this with a big dog knows just how expensive medical care can be for the big dogs! Of course, your policy will vary depending on how you customize it. I did not want a policy that covered routine items. To me, that is just part of owning a dog and just drives up the cost of a policy. Just like a human, I needed coverage for those major illness or injuries that require major medical care. My Embrace policies give me piece of mind that I can afford to cover all my dogs for major medical emergencies. Plus, working with Lea at Embrace has just been awesome!

Embrace covered my pets entropion surgery when other companies would not. The only negative experience I had--was it took 15days to process my claim and I was expecting a quicker turn around time. Embrace did communicate to me that since it was my FIRST CLAIM it would take up to 15 days to process. I guess all good things come to those who wait. I highly recommend Embrace!!
