Thorough and were able to assist me with my dog Millie. The person I spoke with on the phone was very helpful and guided me through the process, as this was my first time using pet insurance in the US.
Embrace stands as the number one pet insurers in America. Complete coverages available to meet everyone’s financial means. Very fast turn-around once invoices are submitted. Very easy and pain free in every transition.
This company is incredibly predatory, avoid at all costs. They use past incidents of symptoms (like vomiting and diarrhea) as an excuse to deny claims for completely unrelated conditions, and utilize a blatantly subjective review of medical records - even against veterinary standards & consensus - in order to serve the company’s best interests. Symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea can occur due to MANY different conditions, diseases, and illnesses… that’s why they’re considered SYMPTOMS and not standalone conditions. But if your pet had a single instance of vomiting OR diarrhea within the past YEAR due to something like a diet change, bacterial infection, or just eating something it’s body didn’t agree with, ANY future condition associated with EITHER symptom will be considered a “preexisting” and denied on that basis. Eg., say you took your 4 month old puppy in for vaccines and told the Vet he/she vomited the day before due to getting into the trash or a recent diet change, and then 10 months later your dog needs emergency care for something like acute gastritis, a severe allergic reaction, or poison consumption (even intestinal blockages have been denied on multiple occasions) and vomiting is one of the symptoms, Embrace WILL deny the claim because of the past documented incident of vomiting (some customers have successfully challenged denials for blockages that required surgery after a time consuming appeals process, but those claims never should’ve been denied in the first place… Embrace frequently uses initial denials as a business tactic because they know a lot of people won’t even bother to jump through all their hoops).
So when I say they’re predatory, I’m NOT using that word lightly! They utilize a variety of dirty tactics to serve the company’s interests and avoid paying out their own customers. Just take a few minutes to read their BBB complaints and reviews and you’ll understand. There are far better insurance providers out there. Spot is THE best and most customer friendly company available (imo), but they’re a bit expensive. If the money’s an issue then I recommend Pets Best, their pricing is similar to Embrace but they’re LEAPS & BOUNDS better in terms of payouts and customer service. I’ve had policies with all 3 companies so my recommendations are based on personal experience.
