Don't buy Metlife pet insurance …

Until 6 months ago I was happy with Metlife but now I am receiving the same runaround as everyone else. I am repeatedly told to resubmit the same documents, the phone staff say that they have everything and that they are "making a note" for the claim reviewers, then 3 days later another 4 am email telling me to submit paperwork. Their latest game is requiring proof of previous insurance, even for brand new conditions and illnesses. If a health insurance company for people tried this they would be fine and shut down. The middle of the night emails are making me think that claims processing has been outsourced to overseas contractors. I would avoid Metlife at all costs!

Amazing Service

Amazingly quick turnaround time on claims. Easy to talk to claims reps. Best pet insurance company I have ever dealt with.

Good luck getting a reimbursement in a reasonable amount of time, if at all.

I submitted a claim for a month before this review. It took them 10 days to ask for more info only after I called them. After another 10 days, I called again and they needed more paperwork. In both cases, I sent the paperwork the same day. I am now at 30 days without resolution and another phone call was a waste of time. The customer service people are friendly and helpful, as much as they can, but the online chat never works. I wish I had never left Nationwide, they paid promptly.
