MetLife pet insurance - horrible

MetLife pet insurance sucks. I had NAtionwide and was lured into Metlife by lower premiums. However, they are very very slow to process claims and to pay. They so made some unfair assessments, and despite a letter from my vet, explaining Metlife’s misunderstanding, they denied the claim. I never had an issue with NAtionwide ever.. After this review posted, MetLife asked that I email them to discuss further. I have wasted 2+ hours already on trying to communicate these issues, not to mention my vet’s time responding (they were appalled by MetLife’s decision). MetLife’s response is an attempt to make their company look helpful but would amount to nothing. Steer clear.

Always loved Metlife, but now they suck!

Last three clans, there were incompetent processors that wouldn’t even process the claim they closed it. I have a claim going on now that I put July 20, 2023 and still waiting for reimbursement and it’s August 23 of 2023. I understand a claim can take up to 30 days but it’s over 30 days.. because when I put the claim in 7/20 incompetent processors obviously did not know how to process anything and kept on saying I exhausted my benefits when I just basically renewed my policy. they will always have an excuse and think that you should not be upset when surgery for a dog is very costly and I’m not made out of money… then call today which they have an option of a Citibank payment, which was never offered to me so even if the claim is approved, I’ll have to wait over a week just to get the money into my account. I’m purely pissed and next year I will be going to another insurance company.. and I see that on this reviews that there are people that had much more claim of reimbursement then I do. But when it comes to my claims, they don’t no how to process it they don’t process it they closed it. I have a whole list where it’s just zeros when I sent the claim in one time and they’re trying to tell me it’s duplicates and they’re giving me the amount which actually was from an expired policy from last year, so that shows you how they don’t know how to process the policy . CEO should know what’s going on in these companies of his branches of Metlife. I don’t think he would be very happy unless he’s in on it they’re taking her time but they take that premium out pretty quickly.

Raising insurance more than % allowable.

After years of having pet insurance through met for my cat and my dog, the policy was more than doubled. I have never made a claim either. I was also given no notice that it would be increasing so much and when I called they said that's how it is now in Florida for all insurance. The rep also hung up on me mid sentence sending me to give feedback on the call experience.
