Pleased with entire claims process

Earlier this year I was finally able to get coverage for my cat, Archer. I was more interested in long term protection for him just in case of a more serious situation arising in regards to his health. I asked his vet who they would recommend for this and was immediately told PB. They told me this was due to the fact that in their experience PB was always fair and punctual when it came to handling claims. Archer had his basic annual exam (no labs this time) and immediately after filing the claim I was notified of an expected time window for the claim to be reviewed. And in 48 hours PB had let me know that the claim had been processed and a check was in the mail and would reach me in 3-5 days. I was very pleased with how succinctly the entire claims process was. Thank you PB for doing exactly what you said you would, how you said you would. It doesn't feel like you can rely on companies to do that nowadays. Archer and I thank you.

Never have a problem with claims

I never have a problem with claims since I can e-mail them in as attachments. Of course I wish I could have a plan with no deductible but I understand that it wouldn't be a popular product and probably unaffordable for most customers. I wish though that I could get a supplemental or wrap around for dental in particular. Sasha is a tiny Chiwawa so she will lose most her teeth as compared to larger dogs. It requires more cleanings. The $100 reimbursement for 2 cleanings is not realistic here on the East Coast. Why? Because the vet has to do the bloodwork before to make sure she is healthy enough before he does any dental work.

Monthly Cost

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.

Deductible

$50 – $1,000 annually.
