Horrible time first claim with pet best

I have several beloved pets in my life and usually go to UC Veterinary Hospital in Davis. I review several insurances and selected pet best because its affiliation with carecredit. This last has been tremendous help. Sadly this last Dec Veronica got a tumor removal, and jan 1 Bonny got her stomach distended due to gastritis. She was so scared for the fireworks, and she was hospitalized for 1.5 days. I paid the hospital and then I was out of the country for 3 weeks when petbest needed proof of payment, documents I submitted but they questioned. Because it was only me that need to call UC Davis and get a second proof of payment all got delayed. As up today I still getNO news on the tumor removal from Veronica ($569). They emailed several times asking for proof of payment with Bonny and I keep emailing them back that I am out of the country. Today they called and again I complain to them and in fact the agent says that now the 45 days will be longer because I did not send again the proof of payment. I got this insurance because its related to care credit that I am fun off, but if in the first claim since I got the insurance in June I have several problems with 2 claims maybe it is better to find another pet insurance as I want to be taking care of my beloved pets.
