So Far, So Good!
As I look back at the process we endured in filing claims for Maggie's TPLO surgery in early January 2018, I ultimately am pleased with the end results in having Embrace Pet Insurance. Once a few hurdles were removed, they paid quickly, efficiently, and were ALWAYS very cordial and helpful. My two "less than a 10" issues are:
1. It was extremely frustrating and difficult to get the medical history information that Embrace required when we originally filed the first claim for Maggie's surgery. I don't know if it was a disconnect between our vet and Embrace, or what, but Embrace kept saying they needed detailed medical record information for the full year preceding the beginning of Maggie's coverage. I felt caught in the middle and not able to do what needed to be done. Our vet kept saying they had sent everything requested. At some point, I was told they faxed over 100 pages to Embrace, hoping that will suffice! Regardless of where the problem was, I feel it would best serve Embrace insured pets to require that information at initial signup. Then we would have known what was covered, what was deemed "permanent pre-existing conditions", and what was "temporary pre-existing conditions". We have a second Golden with Embrace insurance, and I am dreading trying to get her detailed medical record information to Embrace. Putting that off for now!
2. Now I am concerned how filing these claims will impact future premiums and coverage. Will just have to wait and see what the coming years bring!
Overall, I can't say enough nice things about each and every person that I spoke with, from the day I first contacted Embrace about getting coverage for my two Goldens through getting the claims finally settled. Great group of folks.
