Takes forever to pay claims

When submitting a claim it says will process in 3 days. Then it switches to 5-10 days. Then it switches to 15 days. Policy says they will be pay within 30 dqys. I'm at day 28 and nothing has been done with my claim. I'll be filing a complaint with the Attorney General. Met Life does not do what they promise in the contract but expect me to follow it or they'll cancel you. Go with another provider and skip over MetLife.

Love MetLife!

I currently have 5 standard poodles with MetLife Pet Insurance, and have had my policies for several years. I have been very happy with MetLife, and have had all of my claims paid for over the last several years. The length of time for reimbursement on illness claims has increased, but all have been settled within 30 days or less. My wellness claims are reimbursed within a week usually. I have had several different pet insurance policies over the last 12 years and MetLife is my favorite, so far.

Great Coverage, Especially for Multiple Dogs

Very happy with my MetLife Pet Insurance coverage. It is great that we can cover both dogs with a single plan that means we reach the deductible more quickly and can make the most of the benefits. I haven't had any issues with claims being denied even though one dog had to have some pretty serious surgery. Claim processing has been a bit slower than they said it would be, but overall, I've been pleased with their service.

Very happy with MetLife

I recently submitted a claim. The company was very responsive and sent some follow up requests, as they require 12 mos. of vet records to do an accurate assessment of tge claim. We only adopted our dog 3 mos. prior, so I called to explain this. The person I spoke with was very friendly, helpful, and took the time to thoroughly look information up and to ensure she communicated my information to the reviewers accurately. I had a response from MetLife very timely, and the claim was addressed. I appreciate the great customer service and the ease in using the website. It's also reassuring to know that we have this insurance for any unanticipated needs. Hopefully we will not need to make any future claims, but if we do, I have confidence that MetLife will be there to help.

Metlife Pet Ins is out for one thing

Metlife Pet Ins is out for one thing, make big money! Denying claims is what their employees are trained to do and upsetting their customers to the point of making them cry! Shame on you Metlife! I have already talked with three different agents about my claim and have gotten no where. Our dog was just diagnosed by our vet with a luxating patella. The last agent I talked with basically told me they are trying to say it is preexisting and we have been insured with you for 16 months! Preexisting? Really? They are trying to bury us in paperwork so we will just give up like we did with the first claim that they denied. Shame on me for thinking that you were going to be a trustworthy company.
