Fast and easy

My dog got extremely sick so I took her to the vet. They needed to do labs and biopsies to figure out the underlying source for being as sick as she was. And they gave her treatments for multiple ailments. It wasn't cheap. After her first check up I asked the vet for invoices, took a picture and submitted them online. Within days I had an email showing how much I'd be getting back and then shortly after the money was in my bank account. I immediately paid my credit card bill with it. I didn't get all the money back but I did get a large portion of it. All in all it was a good experience and an easy process.

Worst company.

Don’t waste your time and money with this company. They try to swindle you and they take for ever on claims. Sometimes more than 6 months.
