ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

It's been 4 months, and there has been no payment of the claims submitted. All paperwork from the vet's office was submitted 3 separate times. They denied the claim, without notifying me, and stated when I reached out 3 times that they needed further documents PRIOR to the claim. I explained, repeatedly, that there are NO other records since she was a rescue from a family getting rid of the kitten. She has no other paperwork, and she was flown in from another state to save her. They said they'd note that and that would be fine. No, they denied it again and claimed they needed a year's worth of documents prior to the submitted claim. Again, I explained - there are NO other documents as she had never been seen previously. Still...nothing. They are clearly just reading from a script, as I hear the exact same wording again and again when I deal with the incompetent call center who has no power to effect change at all. This company is fraudulent. Do not be fooled by the cute website and such. They are not in the healthcare business at all, and it's a real shame that the ASPCA would tarnish its name with these BUSINESS dealings. Stick to rescuing animals, and stay out of the business side of dealing with animals, because this service is not about helping animals at all.

Very helpful and friendly

While ASPCA has created a very sleek and user-friendly interface for submitting and tracking a claim, I have found a NUMBER of deficiencies in their up front information and back-end service. While having a rep answer the phone quickly and having access to a kind veterinary nurse on the end of a telehealth line are all very helpful as a consumer - I was pretty floored to find that neutering and spaying aren't covered under their basic preventative care plan...the hard way. If you hope to be reimbursed for this VERY COMMON procedure, you MUST select their PRIME care package, in order to have any reimbursement for those costs. Since ASPCA did a poor job of making this information clear up front, I'm hoping this review saves someone else the trouble I've gone through. You have to read through all of the itemized treatments/procedures to see that it's not covered, which wasn't apparent, nor that there was even an upgraded insurance package available.

It is a great insurance company. I feel that my dog and I are fully supported.

Terrible. People with zero medical knowledge are following a vague flow chart that is divorced from reality. An allergy will prevent your pet from getting reimbursement for ANYTHING because they are "secondary symptoms." Giardia is NOT a symptom of an allergy. Simply garbage. Cancelling coverage now.
