Lemonade | Pet Insurance Review

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Lemonade Pet Insurance – I Would Not Recommend This Company I strongly encourage pet owners to research other pet insurance companies before choosing Lemonade. My experience has been extremely disappointing. When I purchased my policy, my pet had no prior veterinary medical records. I purchased insurance in good faith, expecting the company to provide the protection and peace of mind that pet insurance is supposed to offer. When I submitted a claim, Lemonade denied it. I then went through the appeal process, hoping for a fair and thorough reconsideration. Even my appeal was denied. What is the point of having an insurance policy and paying premiums if getting coverage when you need it becomes such a frustrating battle? The entire experience has destroyed my trust in this company. I expected transparency, fairness, and accountability. Instead, I was left feeling unsupported and extremely disappointed. Pet owners purchase insurance to protect their beloved animals, not to spend their time fighting an insurance company over coverage. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Lemonade Pet Insurance. I strongly suggest looking into other companies before making a decision.

Lemonade pet insurance was truly terrible to work with. I insured three pets with them, and they paid only one of the five claims I submitted. I was left with over $2,000 in unpaid claims, on top of everything I paid in premiums that year. They denied Snoopy’s claim because it was submitted more than 180 days after treatment. I asked for a one-time exception, and they refused. I have pets insured with Embrace, which gives me the policy term plus 60 days to file. Lemonade’s deadline was an expensive lesson to learn. What happened with Linus was worse. At an earlier visit, the veterinarian thought she might have seen a soft tissue injury and decided to wait and see. Linus never had an injury. Later, he needed his dewclaw removed because of an ingrown claw. Lemonade called it a pre-existing condition and denied the claim. I appealed and provided a letter directly from the veterinarian, but they denied it again. Having to fight this hard over my pets’ care, only to be denied again, was exhausting and infuriating. I canceled all three policies. Based on my experience, I would not trust Lemonade to be there when a pet actually needs care.

When I got the pet insurance through Lemonade, they were fast to settle claims and I had no problems. Now it seems that they through the claim around to multiple agents and are always looking into the claim. Its been over a month and they are still looking into a claim for a regular vet visit. I hate to think what would happen in an emergency visit. I pay out the highest policy a month and expected to have the covered amounts paid out without hassle. I am wondering about the liquidly of the company if they aren't paying out what is covered in a timely manner . I can keep my payments in my pocket and find another company or just cover the services myself and not have to worry if they will ever pay. They came highly recommended and I recommended them to others. Now I will tell you to stay away from them as they have branched out and are publicly traded and have seem to lost their way. It seems like this happens to all companies today.

This insurance has helped me to the point where I now have two pets insured by them.
