Yahtzee's Hip Dysplasia

"Yahtzee was experiencing pain in her hip and the vet diagnosed her with hip dysplasia. We paid the vet and filed a claim with Pets Best. We received an immediate email confirming the claim had been received and another email a week or so later letting us know the claim was still under review. It's nice to get an update so you don't think nothing is happening. Once the claim was final we received an email explaining the decision and received reimbursement by direct deposit shortly after. The whole process as very simple and not stressful at all! "
