Claims denied or in limbo.
My dog has had vaginitis for the past month or so. It has not responded to antibiotics, so my Vet. recommended a cytology plus a culture and sensitivity. From what I can tell, the claim has been denied and has been labeled as a "Wellness" visit. This was not a Wellness visit - this was to determine why my dog has pus coming out of her vulva. My dog also drops to the ground after short vigorous exercise. Again, not normal that an otherwise healthy 2 year old dog would be exhibiting this behavior. My Vet. sent in a test to determine if she has a condition caused by a defective gene. This claim is either under review or has been denied under the "Wellness" label. I can't tell which because both claims have a date of service of 8-22-17. Neither of the 2 Vet. visits occurred on this date. I'm assuming this is the date the claims were sent in. Every single claim has had an incorrect date of service. This makes it difficult to know which claim is which. I'm starting to get a little stressed out about this because my credit card payment is due. I purchased insurance for my current dog because my last dog cost me a fortune. I am understandably upset that my dog is having all these health issues at 2 years of age, but at least I knew I had the insurance and wouldn't have to worry about how to pay for everything. Now that doesn't seem to be the case. So know I'm going to have to start making phone calls - again. I'm not sure how I feel about Embrace insurance right now. I think I'd still recommend it, but probably not as strongly as before.
