Frustrating to submit 3 invoices as her…

Frustrating to submit 3 invoices as her condition did not improve and xmas eve original vet closed so had to bring her to ER vet. Your software only takes 1 hospital and invoice and yet you state you want all of them together. Impossible. As if this whole experience is not stressful enough.

Not Flexible and Unreasonable

Pet insurance is an incredible resource when it comes to managing the financial burden of unexpected pet-related expenses. However, I’ve encountered a frustrating issue with Embrace Pet Insurance that feels both unreasonable and unfair to loyal, paying customers. The inability to increase the reimbursement percentage and amount on an existing policy without triggering additional waiting periods is unreasonable. This policy effectively turns any pre-existing condition your pet has into a permanent limitation if you wish to adjust your coverage. Additionally it does not consider how accidents may cost more than what the customers anticipated at the beginning of their policy. An embrace representative stated that any increase of policy, regardless of when it’s done will result in current conditions or injuries becoming pre-existing and no longer covered under the insurance. This basically means that you are stuck at the amount you first selected when you initially started your policy. As a paying customer, I find it disappointing that policy adjustments aren’t more flexible, especially when the goal is to provide the best possible care for our pets. While the coverage itself is valuable and reimbursements are reliable, this limitation is worth considering before choosing Embrace.

Mixed reviews

I have submitted 3 claims and 1 precert. The precert and one of the claims were reviewed and reimbursed within a couple days. The turn around time on the completed precert is still in review 9 days past submission. This claim should have been the easiest to review as the precert was completed beforehand. Nine days is a lot of time for a procedure that was out of pocket over $2,000.

I just turned in my claim

I just turned in my claim, but this is the second claim (different dog), and Embrace handled it fairly. I just turned this claim in, and am pleased with how easily it is to maneuver around the web site.
