You’ll be reimbursed but be prepared to wait

I choose Pets Best because they have one of the best plans (90% reimbursement with unlimited claim amount). However, with my recent claim and several recent claims before it, I have to wait an extraordinary length of time to be reimbursed. I have 2 pets with Pets Best and will continue to use them but it would be beneficial if they could speed up their review times, especially if they have all of the necessary documents to complete the review. I’ll continue to recommend Pets Best because they help give me peace of mind during an emergency but would advise anyone using them to prepare to wait for their money to be returned.

I’ve had bad experience

I’ve been working to have a claim paid for nearly 6 months. They keep requesting documents that don’t exist. They are either hoping I give up and they won’t have to pay or hoping I don’t provide what didn’t exist and they don’t have to pay. It’s a legitimate injury during coverage but it’s about $4k so they don’t want to pay. This is my first year of pet insurance so it’s possible this is normal but it’s frustrating since I paid them premiums all year long just so my pupper is covered.

This is good insurance

This is good insurance. Reimbursement is reasonable and processed quickly. My premium is going up even though my dog is only 3 years old. I feel like it should not change until she is at least age five. I don’t think this is uncommon for all pet insurance, but my dog is healthy and receives all her recommended vet care, so I think the premium should stay the same as it has been since I bought the policy before I even got her at 8 weeks.

I have no idea if I am getting any…

I have no idea if I am getting any insurance payments. The bills were split-some said none and some listed payments. Guess I will just have to wait. At this point, this insurance isn’t really financially beneficial.

super fast claim process

super easy to file a claim on either the app or website.... I've been with Pet's Best for a few years & been fairly happy....lately, like in the last 9-12 months it seems claims are completed much quicker...few weeks at longest, most in a few days.
