Just another scam

The AKC insurance was just like every other one we've tried. Every excuse possible not to pay anything. The list of exclusions that they come up with is really ridiculous, and the whole industry exists to collect money and pay out nothing. Farther ahead to just put the premium money in a savings account for future needs.

VETERINARIAN: My Best Friend Veterinary Center

POSTED: | BY: My Best Friend

Friendly vets who really care!

Had a great experience with My Best Friend Veterinary Center (https://www.mybestfriendvet.com/ ). The team is super friendly, patient, and clearly loves what they do. They take time to explain everything and make sure pets feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a vet who truly treats your pet like family, I highly recommend them!

poor coverage

Despite the reason for surgery being complications secondary to a genetic condition and not the genetic condition inherently they refused to cover treatment for my dog.

Typical insurance company

Typical insurance company that will spend an inordinate amount of time and energy (money) into looking to deny your claim. I got the 30 days free when registering my dog and by happenstance had a claim..urinary tract infection for a female puppy and they arbitrarily claimed it was a congenital defect. The Vet said no way. Not worth the fight since I will not be renewing and definitely not worth your money to get this insurance.

Is AKC using AI to deny legitimate claims?

I was pleased with AKC insurance when I first signed up (and, even recommended it to my fellow dog exhibitors), but competence has taken a steep nosedive over the past few months, with claims adjusters denying claims made less than 30 days after a covered event as having exceeded the 180 day limit. I strongly suspect they have either instituted the use of AI to deny claims based upon the inability of their AI software to accurately process claims, or they’ve hired employees who don’t understand how to read a calendar.
