Regretting Choosing Lemonade

I picked them because of the high ratings and price. After submitting two claims with them it has been nothing short of a scam. They conjure up the most ridiculous things to deny a claim and you can’t even speak to a live person to try and voice your opinion or attempt to prove that their information is blatantly false and nefarious. It is a frustrating merry go round of lies. I’ve given up. And now my dog needs to see a specialist and may need surgery and I have no insurance and now he will be considered to have an underlying condition that won’t be covered by a new carrier. I despise this company

Money hungry

Find a way to increase your premium each year and say they can decrease it if you decrease your coverage. Only filed one claim in the last year and I paid them more than they paid me. Emailed with complaint and Jeff/ Jess were of no assistance. They blamed it on state wide increase and inflation… but if it’s inflation then my coverage should also increase to ensure I can cover potential costs at a vet if needed. Just a money hungry company. Spending an extra $200 for same plan as previous year and no pet health changes. Also for claim submission on the app it’s all robot auto replies not a human.

Labor Intensive!

IU've had Lemonade for 2 years and I will be grateful to be rid of them soon. They encourage claims to be submitted via cell phone. They don't cover any "alternative methods" which I knew from the beginning. When I tried to submit a claim via cell, it was difficult. First, they wanted vet notes, that was fine. Then they wanted everything broken down into separate costs. Jess helped me so much and it took her a few days to tell me what I was due. I find the "fur baby" syndrome off-putting and they have other cute little titles. When I wanted to submit my 1st claim, they asked me for a photo of Tachi. I told them I didn't have time. I wondered why they wasted so much of my time. Healthy Paws and Embrace were wonderful. I didn't ever feel that submitting a claim was difficult. With Lemonade, I was asked for the blood tests, the vet notes and anything else they might want. I don't like working on my phone because it was so difficult to break down costs, as Lemonade asked for them. I was told that I could do everything that could rival Embrace and Healthy Pets. How wrong they were. I have never encountered such a complicated process to simply submit a claim. Maybe others are more agile on the cell phone. I do a lot of things on my phone but anything to do with money is from my laptop. Soon we'll be freed from their clutches and that will be a happy day.

Don't go here

Waste of time. Coming here for 20 years doesnt matter, they don't care about the animals Just how much money they can make off you. Don't bother calling you will be on hold forever just so they can give you a crap excuse as to why you're considered a new patient and not welcome. Happy holidays, they don't care if your animal needs help, they would rather lose your paperwork and say they aren't accepting "new" patients. I will make sure everyone i know either doesn't go here or transfers to an actual caring vets office. Rude and ruthless.
