Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

Complete waste of money, maybe a total scam. I started my policy when my cat was 4.5 months old and canceled it after a year because he was recently diagnosed with IBD and embrace won't cover ANYTHING digestive related all because my little kitten had one instance of vomiting prior to my policy start date. He could have vomited for any reason, ie eating plants or food he's not supposed to, or eating too quickly, but because it was on his medical record embrace said they would not cover anything digestion related. So if his IBD turns into pancreatitis, lymphoma, or even if he just needs steroids to manage it, nothing would ever be covered. I'm furious. Embrace did not cover any of the numerous fecal, blood, checkups, emergency visits, vaccines, and ultrasound tests throughout my year of having it. Embrace doesn't do anything but take your money. Apparently AKC covers preexisting conditions so I'm switching over to them. On top of that, it was really hard to cancel because two of their listed phone numbers to call would not go through. I had to call the number to BUY a policy and ask them to transfer me to cancel. Total scam.

Embrace wanted me to resubmit the invoice. Embrace claimed the limited information on the left side was cut off. Their system did the cropping. I was looking at the photo while I was on the phone with them. When I asked exactly what was missing so I could retake the photo and recenter the invoice so the dates and my first name would show the customer service rep just kept repeating herself. When I asked for another rep since we were not communicating I was put on hold for over ten minutes. Then she came back and said no one was available. This is the second time I have been horsed around about a claim. I am done.

Filing a claim is easy, directions on the web site are good. When you have a legitimate claim, they pay quickly.

I have several pets insured with Embrace. Although their premiums have skyrocketed over the past year, I need to look into adding another dog to be insured. I have tried multiple times to get a quote at their website and I constantly get an error message. So I called them to find out what is wrong with the website. I was told the issue would be looked into. Four days later there is no improvement or change in getting a quote. Higher premiums and less service. Not what I was hoping for.
