Happy that I chose Spoit

We bought Max home when he was 3 months. I did some research on pet insurance and went with SPOT in the same month. Had a good experience with them while shopping and they walked me over the policy and answered all my questions and did not push me at all. He started having allergies within 4 months and we had to take him to vet often for his medications. He also had some GI issues. I have filled all of my claims including prescription food and got good service with SPOT and got reimbursed for their part. I am able to afford and keep Max happy only because SPOT is supportive. Also when I contact their customer service, I get a good response and members are respectful and caring. I am happy that I chose SPOT. The only reason I gave 9 rating instead of 10 is the time for the claims to be processed. They do process within the said time and no delays so far but once we submit the claim, it just says processing and it is a waiting game. I wish we could have some updates so we know what is going on.

Been on hold on the phone multiple…

Been on hold on the phone multiple times for an hour. Every time I sign up for a call back somehow the call gets interrupted (I agree that could be my fault sometimes; never have I received a call back afterwards) Also I have a file to claim because my two new kitties that I adopted from the ACC were not totally healthy (unbeknownst to me). And the vet cost was over $1500 dollars. I signed up for SPOT insurance like 3 days before that vet visit and found I could still not be covered because the date the insurance is active isn’t until the end of the month. If I don’t get help for that claim with SPOT I’m leaving with a quickness.

Policy date Aug 12

Policy date Aug 12, 2021. Coverage starts Aug 26, 2021. Renewal should be Aug 26, 2022. If it were Aug 12, 2022 then I would be paying for 351 days of coverage not 365 days of coverage. No a major deal breaker but not equitable.
