Very disappointed
Please see an exerp from an email that I sent to Trupainion upon completion of my claim:
"I received 3 claim process notices (the one here 271018, 269924 & 269923). My query regards why I was charged 2 deductibles when this was all done in 1 procedure. 1 on the claim here (27018) and as well on 269923. I do note that Trupainion has divided the claim into 2, but I am sure that you can appreciate that the scheduling for these procedures were to save money (for Trupanion as well as us) on anaesthetics as well as undue stress on Zeus if we were to have done this one 2 separate occasions."
Trupanion's response is below:
"Our deductibles are per condition. As Zeus was under he was treated for the masses as well as his oral care. As there are two different condition we had to apply the deductible to both conditions."
I cannot tell you how utterly disappointed I was with this response.

Frustrating, inefficient claims process
I got Pets Best after thoroughly researching numerous insurance companies out there, and based on reviews Pets Best appeared a great option - most reviews stated quick claims processing and payment of a large portion of vet bills. I have been with them 6+ months and submitted my 1st claim (only for $200) over 1.5 months ago - both my vet and I have gone in circles with them since then and the claim is still unresolved. They 1st contacted me about needing paperwork from the vet - completely understandable. Since my cat had only been to this vet once, I promptly let them know this and also gave them the contact info for her regular vet she had seen her whole life so they could ascertain "pre-existing illnesses" (none existed). A week or so later I was informed via email that my claim was closed because the vet that had seen my cat for her unexpected illness had not sent in records from the one visit. They did not enlist my help is contacting my vet or let me know they were having difficulty reaching them, rather they simply closed my claim out. I was frustrated with this and let them know, and in response a representative called me personally which I was pleasantly surprised by. This has been the only positive aspect of this frustrating, time-consuming process.
As soon as I was made aware of my vet not sending in the paperwork and my claim being subsequently closed, I contacted my vet who promptly sent in the paperwork from the one visit. Another week or 2 later P

Exceptional Company
I cannot not say enough good things about Trupanion Pet Insurance. I insured my Doberman at 10 years of age.
Approximately 6-7 months after policy inception she collapsed in my living room with a heart problem. Shortly after she developed problems with a mass on her leg that was inoperable due to her heart issues.
This company paid approximately 18,000.00 to 20,000.00 dollars over the course of time that she was insured.
I had a 250.00 deductible and they paid 90% of everything except office visits.
This company is phenomenal.
My girl enjoyed a great quality of life up until the end.
I could not have afforded to take care of her with all of her issues without Trupanion.
They are the best!

Paid ER bill when pet died
Our beloved dog Hazel died within about six weeks of signing her up for health insurance. We took her to the animal ER and she never came out--but we got a $2,000 bill. While Embrace took awhile to get us an answer--18 business days, when they promise 15 days, they paid the claim (minus the deductible). We were super surprised, though they would deny it due to ER or due to it being so soon after we signed up. Got a new dog, Bowie, and will buy pet insurance again through Embrace.

My first experience with Trupanion was a positive one. My Vet signed me up for first 30 day free trial and unfortunately I had to take advantage of it. As soon as I vet submitted a claim I received an email that it was under review. I would guess it was within 24 hours of submittion. My reimbursement check came shortly thereafter.

TTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Tessa, out female shepherd collie crossshowed sudden symptoms such as walking into furniture, walls and doors and had very poor balance. She was not her usual self. We first had her assessed by our local veterinarian who said that she was blind in her left eye and half blind in her right eye. She was then assessed by a veterinary eye specialist who determined that her eyes were functioning but that she may have a brain tumor. She was then referred to a neurologist for further investigation. She required extensive medical intervention at great cost. After extensive medical tests it was determined that she had meningitis-encephalitis. She was treated and appears to be on the road to recovery but will require further intervention to maintain her health and well being. We submitted our claims to Trupanion and we were surprised at how quickly they responded to our clain in such a professional manner. There was no delay and no fuss. We will recommend Trupanion to all our friends who have pets. Thanks again Trupanion. You have saved us a lot of worry and stress.
