Total Rip Off

Wish I had read all the negative comments before I signed up for this insurance. When I thought the plan was canceled they kept billing me premiums and then sent me to a collections agency. A phone call would have been nice. Then I asked if I could make a claim since I am paying the premiums aparently owed. But they said no. So I basically paid them for 2 years of premiums with zero claims. They were not willing to negotiate. This business is about getting your money not caring for your sick pet. BUYER BEWARE do not use this insurance!!!

NOT a Smooth Transition from PC Pet Insurance

We were sadly transferred from PC Pet Insurance to Pets Plus Us and there's a huge difference between the two. My vet has sent a number of claims over the past few months, but I've only heard back from Pets Plus Us 3 times. However, the biggest issue for me is that there is no way to access your account online. I don't mind if reimbursements take some time, but in 2019, I'd expect to be able to see my claims and reimbursements online. Disappointed and shopping for a different insurance company :( ...

Exhausting to deal with

If I could switch companies, I would! But my guy is stuck here because he has medication conditions he developed while on Pets Plus Us. There's almost always some problem or another that you need to call them about.. often them blaming the vet/waiting on the vet which is not true. My vets have shown me proof when they've sent what this company requests and they say they get this problem from PPU all the time. One of my vet clinics has stopped recommending this company. Their customer service is horrible. I just spent 20 mins on the phone, most of it on hold trying to sort out my monthly premiums ($200) for my cats and the discount I was supposed to be getting. Let me say this is the second time I've had to call.. and the first resolved nothing at all, which is typical of PPU. After 20 mins they either hung up on the other end or the call dropped, that's was 20 mins ago. No call back. Nothing. Still unresolved. Add to that.. one of my cats I have an e-mail from them stating the monthly premium would be x amount, and they actually charge nearly $10 more a month than I have them on e-mail stating it would be. I feel this company counts on just exhausting you fighting to get things resolved.. hoping you'll just give up. I don't recommend this company at all, it's far too much hassle. I've been with them for going on 3 years now. Oh and I've never gotten a reimbursement for my cats medications from last May! They denied it.. and it's the exact same ongoing medications they've continue to cover! lol Figure that one out? Literally no change or different, they just decide to decline a month of his monthly medications then resume covering it again lol Not the first time they've done this. They're very unreliable. I'm exhausted trying to deal with them. Reading other reviews it seems I'm not the only one. I will say the positives I've found is that they do cover alternative treatments and when they're not trying to wear you down and are actually on the ball, they're great.

Horrible claims service and customer service

Since my porfolio transfer all I have had is greif and problems with the two claims I have submitted. The first claim for medication dates back to mid December with still no payout as medical history from over 8 years ago had to be reviewed from the last call I made to your company. Now once again I received a notice that there was again more missing information. Why does your company not want to honor your claims? Also I asked for a copy of my policy documents but never received them. What is the company hiding?
