Figo | Pet Insurance Review

We were covered by FIGO from July 2017 until July 2018. Prior to coverage effect we took our kitten to our vet for her first check-up and she was found healthy. We submitted the records to FIGO as required. During the first several months, they refused every claim for our 4 month old kitten asserting everything was a "pre-existing condition". By October 2017 I was fed-up, so I sent them a strongly worded letter where I explained in part: "Every insurance contract has an unwritten, invisible, or implied term referred to as the covenant or promise of good faith and fair dealing. This is a promise imposed by law upon an insurance company to always act fairly towards its insured in handling their claims…In my estimation the apparent failure to investigate my claims leading to the unwarranted denial of said claims is gross mismanagement needling dangerously close to the appearance of bad faith insurance practices." I then threatened to report them to our State Department of Insurance. After this, they paid my claims and I never heard from them again. They always paid every claim. (Suspicious action in my estimation. I believe they didn't want to have someone investigating their practices.) Now, here at the end of July (2018), it is time to renew our policy. They decided to increase our premium by 100 percent for an otherwise healthy 1 year old cat. They further did this with zero transparency. They sent an email out in June explaining "some states could potentially see a rate increase". They gave no information as to which states would see an increase or by what amount. They instructed us to log-in and see if we would be effected. We did and we were not. 3 weeks later, we still were not effected. Then today, when payment for the next year would be due, we found they increased the rate 100 percent. We are SO disgusted by this company and advise you strongly to avoid it like the plague!

Unfortunately, I needed to submit claims for my new puppy. The claims were settled quickly and as expected. So far so good :)

Highly recommend Figo Pet Insurance!

Opened a claim for my pup Samson, and Figo was very quick to respond. Their customer support team is great - very helpful. I would totally recommend them for pet insurance.

My dog had a medical emergency that required hospitalization and lots and lots of blood and imaging work. Luckily he was able to be saved, but the vet bill was enormous! Luckily when I uploaded all the claims for his bills (5 in total costing over $4,000) figo covered them exactly how it was described in my plan with zero hassle, and they were crazy fast! The claims were processed and approved within 2 days and I received the checks in the mail within a week!! I can’t say enough good things about this company, they make such a horrible situation like almost losing your animal easier knowing that you can make all the needed choices and they will take care of you! Every dog owner should get figo insurance in my opinion!
