Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

I have always been skeptical about submitting claims, but this experience has been easy and quick. The site allows you to submit claims from non listed companies and just give an explanation. I would recommend this pet insurance for first timers. Great customer service agents when calling for information.

I called because I am nervous about pet insurance. The guy said "im not going to answer all these questions for you because you will know once you file a claim". I said I am really nervous about buying and want to know what will be covered etc. before paying. He just kept asking for my method of payment and said "Listen you wont know what is actually covered until you submit a claim and its up to who is reviewing whether they deem it covered or not so lets just get you signed up so we can begin coverage today. What method of payment are we using". Like excuse me??? so you want me to just sign up and its basically just a guess at the end when I submit a claim whether its going to be covered or not. Yes, I can read what is put online but I called for a reason. I wanted to speak to a representative of the company so I could feel more secure and get more clarity. I did not call just so you can get my credit card info, I would have simply done that online. I was so set to buy embrace pet insurance too! I just wanted to feel like I understood the coverage completely so when I do file a claim in the future I am not blindsided. All the person did was read exact what was on the online portion then say "I wont know until I file a claim in the future if its actually going to be covered or not". How can anyone feel safe giving their money to an insurance company who speaks to them like that???? Oh I then asked him to transfer me to another person and instead of transferring me he just put me on hold forever. I hope he gets fired or has to deal with someone who treats him the same way when he is asked for clarity from another company.

Having a sick fur baby is already super stressful, but, knowing that I can quickly and easily file the claim with Embrace and that they will handle it quickly and correctly lets me focus on my pup and his recovery without worrying about the cost. Thank you Embrace!

They raised my rates by something like $75 after being with them for only two years. I was already paying 180 something a month and I'm already using a high deductible with a low percent return (70%) to keep the costs down. Yes I've had claims, but nobody raises anybody's insurance by that much. I've never even had my car insurance go up by more than about $30 and this is simply pet insurance. They're not paying out thousands and thousands of dollars for every incident like a car insurance company and yet they have rates equivalent to car insurance which is insane. They are just like any other insurance company -- out to rip you off. They did a terrible job with our medical history so that something idiotic like "occasionally eats a dead animal" is somehow a pre-existing condition even though I explained to them it only happened once when she was an infant. That's the most ridiculous pre-existing condition I've ever heard of. And then after they had made a full assessment of pre-existing conditions from her medical records, her first claim was denied because they went back AGAIN and searched even harder to find a reason to deny it. All of a sudden now her arthritis isn't covered even though she didn't develop it until after I started working with these morons. They are cheats and they are liars and they have terrible customer service.

The website is straightforward to navigate. Uploads are simple. They let you know fairly quickly if you need to send more information and contact your veterinarian. You do need to be proactive in checking on your claim and be ready to ask questions. They have successfully processed one of my claims and it went smoothly.
