Easy, fast and efficient!

Claim filing is easy and the reimbursements are quick as long as you upload the required documents including your vets SOAP notes.

LOVE our Furries

I give MetLife a 5star and here is why. I have worked in the veterinary field for 17 years and recognize the reasons behind why Metlife needs the info that it does, info that a lot of these reviews are complaining about. For one, insurance fraud is huge. Also, the policy that one signs up for is the one that the Metlife reps have to abide by. There are so many policy options. Granted it does take a couple or a few weeks to process ones claim but the company has 100's of claims to process. One's veterinarian team plays a-big part in the speed of one's claim IF Metlife contacts them for more information to continue the claim. Metlife does not ask for any information that ones' vet team cannot provide. They too are bogged down with many many emails by the hour. All of this being said, we are thrilled with Metlife! Thank you!

Not worth it to, take too long to process the claim

My experience with MetLife Pet Insurance has been nothing short of frustrating. First, their chat support is practically non-existent. It's rarely accessible and seems to be there more for show than actual assistance. The claim process could be faster, taking up to 21 days from the date of submission. During this time, the app needs updates on whether the claim is approved or not, leaving you in the dark. I often need to call in and check the status of updates. Some Representatives are helpful; some want to get off the call. Instead of efficient online communication, they insist on sending you an Explanation of Benefits(EOB) through the mail, which is a waste of paper and completely unnecessary. This information should be readily available on their website for easy reviews. Speaking of the website, it's far from user-friendly. Navigating through it to find essential information takes time and effort. Overall, MetLife Pet Insurance needs significant improvements in customer service, claim process efficiency, and digital communication. I would not recommend it based on my experience.
