VETERINARIAN: 121 Animal Hospital

POSTED: | BY: Jim Price

Its been Good

Clain Process is pretty simple, send in the required documents, and wait for the reimbursement to post in my account. Processing is a little slow, shows 5-10 days, has taken a little longer than that, maybe 15 days +/-. questions answered. I haven't used the online vet, our vet is 24-hour animal hospital. has some good articles and good notifications. Metlife has been a good experience so far.

My Experience with Metlife Pet…

My Experience with Metlife Pet Insurance was as follows: Easy claim submission, document uploads through the app or email and a quick review period. But if you are a first-time claim submitter, I will warn you about the SOAP NOTES HELL LOOP. You can submit everything, but if you don't submit soap notes and previous medical records for your pet's entire life, the claim will be delayed or denied. That part was frustrating, but after all documentation was sent in, my claim was approved and paid fast directly to my bank account.

I have had a horrible experience with…

I have had a horrible experience with MetLife Pet insurance. They do a great job of selling the program, but when it comes time to pay you back for the claims once you hit your deductible, they continually find reasons why they can’t honor that claim it has been unbelievable. I spend hours on the phone and still get nothing done. Don’t do it!

Worst insurance company ever

Worst insurance company ever. Took a month to process claims, claim was approved seven days ago and still have no idea when it will be paid. I have called Customer Service several times and their only answer is "Citi Bank will contact you". I (stupidly) paid for a year in advance so I am stuck with this dismal company until December.
