Thank you. The appeal was accepted.

I have talked to 3 different agents 3 separate times and each one has been extremely helpful. I shouldn't have to mention this but the best part is that I can talk to a native English speaking person who is not reading from a script. My claim was originally denied because the condition did look as though it might be a preexisting condition. I submitted an appeal and my claim was accepted as a new condition. The payout was significant.Thank you so much! I love my dog and I don't want to have to make healthcare decisions based on whether I can afford the care or not.

denies claims

I have had trouble being reimbursed for anything and everything. They consider an ear infection a preexisting condition. They have denied everything I have sent in.

Recent claim process was easy and while it did take a little longer the payout ended up being more than expected which was awesome. Their communication and customer service is also always great!
