SHOP AROUND. The longer you have Embrace claims or not, the higher the cost; rate increased $45/mo
The problem is... cost. Embrace is more expensive each year and LESS if you go somewhere else or RESTART YOUR POLICY. My dog has NO preexisting conditions so i asked why the $40/mo rate increase? Answer...."the longer you have your policy the more likely to use it" so if youve paid for years your rate goes up regardless of claim history. MY dog is 3 and has been with Embrace since puppy.i have had few claims but got a policy at Pumpkin (sister company) for $40/mo less... Makes NO sence youd think the longer you had them with little to no claims the better your rate would be.....not
Im going toshop around/likely change every year
had embrace pet ins on my 2 pugs for about 2 yrs my oldest 6 yrs old got cancer, they refused claim, then I made it to easy on them and canceled my policy, they just want you money!!!
I think it was Tiffany - who sent me several follow up emails- she was wonderful! Professional and answered all my questions. Great experience while I’m dealing with my puppy’s illness.
I have been a customer of Embrace for 5+ years, as I compete with my dogs in agility and am a USAA member. I also have a low deductible and a high reimbursement; if a dog gets injured, even an initial evaluation with the vet can run $800-$1000.
The good: Embrace covers most of my claims. If a claim is accepted, they are pretty quick about disbursing reimbursement.
The not-so-good: Embrace uses AI to review claims. I've had claims rejected because they use the word "ultrasound," and AI cannot distinguish between therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound. This leads to a very quick rejection of a claim; unfortunately, Embrace takes its time reviewing the additional information they request, delaying claim processing.
The bad: My dogs undergo regular therapy to keep them in top form (as prescribed by my vet). The rehabilitation facility offers tiered pricing, which includes therapeutic exercise, underwater treadmill, laser, and physical manipulation -- all for one price. Embrace regularly rejects these claims because "physical manipulation" is considered "massage," and they do not cover therapeutic massage.
Other modalities, such as shockwave, are not covered. Even though the price of shockwave has reduced dramatically (from $700/session to $175/session), and it is an evidence-based therapy, Embrace does not cover it. In fact, Embrace will not cover many proven therapies, including Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (chiro), Massage, PEMF/TENS, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy.
