Eye Injuries

I've had great experiences with AKC Pet Healthcare. I have the Essential Plus Plan. I like the $125 yearly deductible. My English Bulldog had two separate eye injuries and they paid everything, less my deductibles. They also pay for her continued eye checkups and medicine related to that incident. I've never had a problem not receiving documents from them. It takes about a month from the time I submit to receive reimbursement.

dishonest, slow, and misleading claim process

Got this policy from the AKC when I registered my puppy. Never received the actual paperwork outlining the limitations of the policy, but did receive a notice that there was an annual $100 deductible fee. At the end of August, my puppy had to go to the emergency vet because he was vomiting, and the bill was $186 (the vet also cleaned out his ears at the same time). I submitted the bill and the claim form by fax, not once but twice. Three weeks later they returned the form by mail, and I sent it right back by regular mail. Three weeks later, I got a letter saying they were processing the claim, and I would get a check in four weeks. When I called to ask where my check was, they said they had contacted the vet to "investigate" the claim, but that they would pay me $2.00 that had been approved. Subsequently, I called the vet to ask if he had received an inquiry, and he said he had not! I cancelled the policy by e-mail, and I have contacted the AKC. This plan is a rip-off!!!!

Fedup in Ny

I've had petpartners for a couple of years now. But I am going to change to another insurance company. They are the worst when it comes to picking apart your claim. You pay high premiums and get hardly anything back. My premium just went up again -$90- and I refuse to pay that increase. I would never recommend them. Just take your time and look into these other companies. You will find what's right for you. I am considering Petplan.

Monthly Cost

$5 – $90 depending on coverage options chosen.

Coverage

You have a co-pay of 20% after your annual deductible. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

Per incident limit of $1,500 – $8,000 and annual limits of $3,000 – $16,000 depending on your chosen plan.

Deductible

Choose from $100 – $1,000 annual deductible.

Age Limits

Pets must be at least 8 weeks old to enroll with no upper age limit. Coverage options available for senior pets.

Waiting Period

Coverage goes into effect one day after enrollment. There is a 5-day wait period for accident claims and 14-day wait period for illness claims. AKC Pet Insurance provides 30 days of accident and illness insurance coverage included with AKC registration for newly registered puppies.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Customizable plans allow you to add-on coverage for inherited and congenital conditions, exam fees and wellness care. Cancer coverage included in base accident and illness plan.
