Paid for very expensive surgery

My cat Wilbur had a series of urinary blockages which resulted in him needing surgery and eventually he needed to be put down as there was nothing left to do. Pets best did reimburse me about $7,000 out of $8,000 that all of his medical bills cost. My only complaint is it took them almost a month to do this despite their claim of only taking 4-5 days. This was with me doing providing all possible information I could to speed up the process. However they did reimburse and cover a great deal of expenses and I didn't have to fight for any of it so all in all worthwhile even if there was an unfortunate outcome.

The claims process is very easy

The claims process is very easy, especially with the use of the app. The only complaint I have is the timeliness or claim processing. I do appreciate the initial ratings processing window and the interim update though which helps me understand the delays.

Paid back on claims

I had been getting paid back on claims for my dogs corneal ulcer. Brought her in for a check up after a month of not going because I still saw a spot. They found an additional abrasion on top of the corneal ulcer so I was told to come back in another month to check it. I was reimbursed completely up until this point. The final checkup I was not reimbursed for. Disappointing.

I'm really glad I have insurance

My dachshund is having high numbers on his blood tests. Several tests have been given but they are still high. I'm really glad I have insurance in case things get bad.
