Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

Warning to all considering this insurance company. Our 1 year 2 month old puppy sustained and unspecified injury to his right hind leg, most likely during late night rough housing as it was not observed. After 24 hours we brought him to the urgent vet to determine the extent of the injury. With X-Rays complete the vet noted the injury location and signs/symptoms. During the claims process, embrace decided to correlate one symptom, "Limb Lameness" to a disease/illness to avoid paying an injury claim during the first 6 months of the policy. We were the told to reach out to the urgent care to explain Embrace's claim in which they explained back to us our note repeatedly identified this as an injury and would not provide additional documentation because their notes were sufficient. We had this reviewed by Embrace's claim management team and were directed to get a follow-up with our vet and appeal. Another $100+ we have submitted the documentation they wanted. Our Vet confirmed that Embrace's notes did not make sense and the urgent vet notes were sufficient. They completed a follow-up exam and verified no indication of illness at this time. We have canceled the policy and warn all those that intend on using this insurance company. Response to embrace response: The pre-existing conditions policy is used to side step the injury coverage vs illness coverage. Be warned that this company will self diagnose your pet without seeing them regardless of your vet diagnosis to ensure the injury symptoms are covered by an illness. This puts the injury if applicable into the 6 month pre-existing window. For context this injury occurred 2 weeks prior to the ending of the 6 month window even in the event of it being an illness, this company is not interested in taking care of their customers.

I'm a disabled veteran that only used Embrace because USAA endorses it. These people refused to process the claim to put my service dog to rest. It was her 3rd claim ever. This company gladly took tens of thousands of dollars from me over years with no claims then refused to acknowledge or even process the 3rd and final claim that would have resulted in a few hundred bucks of reimbursement. I would never in a million years send another dime to this company or refer them business.

The computer website is much easier to use when submitting a claim. It was fast and easy and I appreciated that I could submit one receipt that covered multiple pets.

I was kind of little shocked when i inquired about the bill for teddy. I asked the gentleman why i was charged 200 something one charge then another 600 again right away for his coverage. We have been a policyholder for Teddy since he's been 9 weeks old. He told me well that raise increase because our pet is getting older, well no dam kidding. That's why we got the insurance in the first place. I have insurance on myself and as a human I have more risk as i get older but my damn insurance does not increase! It stays at the same rate. When we got insurance we thought we got the best plus its associated with my other insurance USAA. I really do not understand this big of a increase from the time we started to now.

Extremely quick and efficient, with good communication from the company and outreach to the service provider. Will continue to highly recommend Embrace for all our pet insurance needs.
