Paid the claim but slow and incomplete

Paid the claim but slow and incomplete. Missed some reimbursements that were due and hard to get answers on when the claim would be paid. Also confusing how to submit multiple receipts related to same issue.

I thought this was a good insurance…

I thought this was a good insurance company, but now that my dog has cancer, they are taking literally *months* to process significant claims for payment—still haven’t received anything or any indication when they will actually pay.

I definitely recommend this company

Very happy with this company. This is the 2nd time I've had to file a claim and both times all I had to pay was my deductible and my 10% and they pay 90%. The one thing I feel they can improve on is the processing time. The first time my claim was processed Very quickly, but this time it took over a month, therefore I only gave a 4 star review.
