Submitted my claim for my pet’s annual check up. Only $65 of the more than $350 was covered. The insurance should cover wellness visits. I plan to cancel.

This company is one of the worst…

This company is one of the worst insurances I have used. You say 80/20 but have hidden costs. Like why charge a deductible and a co payment on top of it! I have never seen or read anything about that! Sometimes you charge co pay sometimes not! For me to pay 250 on a deductible and 154 for co pay is ridiculous and you are just stealing money from people. I am looking in to other insurances! This isn’t the first time I’ve had issues!
