Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

From my experience they will do whatever it takes to avoid covering what they should, no matter how small. Wasted hours on the phone talking to people lying about words I'm reading in their emails. They will ignore what the vet writes and manufacture their own diagnosis that is literally the opposite of what the vet said. They will intentionally misinterpret statements to fit whatever narrative they want. From what I can tell, they're simply a scam. Deeply regret giving this company any money. Edit: Embrace's reply to my comment: "We want to be upfront about our coverage and the exclusion of pre-existing conditions which is defined and agreed upon in our terms and conditions as" What they DON'T TELL YOU is if you take your pet in for something that is covered, like an injury, and it shares one single SYMPTOM with something that is excluded, EMBRACE will diagnose your pet with a condition that is not covered. In my case their diagnosis was the exact opposite of what the vet listed. If your pet cuts their paw and limps temporarily as a result, they can and will claim it's a skeletal or muscular condition. This means for the rest of your pet's life they will not be covered for any condition that could cause a limp. Hopefully final edit: I wonder how many of the "unqualified 8%" of claims were qualified until Embrace put on their doctor's hat and fabricated a diagnosis from thin air? When they got tired of lying about my dog's diagnosis they smugly said that if the dog wasn't lame, then they couldn't cover the vet visit anyway, since it was a healthy dog! Not realizing what they'd just admitted to, I jumped at the chance. I told them sure, I'd gladly pay for the visit if it meant they couldn't use it against her for the rest of her life! They then went into backtrack mode immediately. Cancelled my policy. This company is disgusting. For the first time in my life I am disappointed in USAA for recommending these predators to me.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had with a company. Purchased the insurance and they were very quick to take payment. Medical records were sent in on the third day of coverage, and they took a 2nd payment on month two. Then came an email that "my pets had no pre-existing conditions, BUT they weren't going to cover three paragraphs of medical issues. Had to fight for two weeks to cancel the policies and am still fighting to get a full refund as promised, so far they have only refunded a portion of what was charged. Would never recommend them!!!! Insist that the insurer pull the medical records prior to binding coverage.

The timely communication regarding recent to claims was excellent ! They were paid just as described in insurence coverage I selected!

I started my policy with Embrace when my pup was 8 weeks old. He is now going to be covered for his 3rd year and my premium increased by 52% ($96 to $146 per month!) mind you all he has had aside from regular wellness checkups is an ear infection and a questionable lump. The reps are friendly and knowledgeable but at this rate, I will be priced out in 2 years. I don't buy the info they provided of it being based on the dog's age, policy tenure and inflation in the area. Maybe that's how they make their money though? They provide a great price to newcomers and price out those with tenure after the rates become ridiculous. I'm not interested in downgrading my coverage but I am also not interested in pay 50%+ extra each year. Reasonable increases are expected but this is insane.

Very happy with our experience. We had an unexpected emergency happen and a large Vet bill. You covered it. We got our money quickly. Thank you!
