Figo | Pet Insurance Review

My dog had cancer- 2 years following multiple sedated x-rays, lots of tests and 3 surgeries+ the round of radiation and she is fine. lots of worrying,lots of no sleep but the one thing I never had to think about was insurance! They have been great. I am grateful that not too long ago I decided to insure the dogs and this one was older, so of course more expensive. Yes there are deductibles and 90% coverage but this is exactly what I wanted- Catastrophic coverage. Boy was this catastrophic. At first , every time I filed a claim I was nervous. I shouldn't have been. My dog is good now and it is mostly due due to insurance from FIGO.

Ease of contacting an agent to help with filing the claim

Filing a claim is very easy! Which is great because it means I’ve wasted little time getting my claim denied. At this point I just file to see if I can get even $0.05 out of them. I don’t, but I’m locked in for another year. Seriously, don’t bother with the company. All the add-ons and things sound nice but they will delay, deny, defend. Your pet being alive is a pre-existing condition. If you are stuck in a contract, use that time to build up funds in an HSA or high yield savings account. At least that way you know you have a real backup plan.

Good luck getting them to pay a claim! I've spent a lot of time on the phone with them, just to have them deny an $1100 claim the should be covered. They claim it was pre-existing. They started contacting vets that we haven't been to in 5 years to come up with a way to deny the claim. They even completely overlooked the enlarged heart and heart murmur. My best advise is to avoid the hassle and steer clear on them.

"Feeling really let down by @FigoPet insurance. We chose them, especially as a Costco member, for peace of mind. But now, after my puppy Shadow's accident (ran into a wall on 7/18), they're denying coverage by labeling it an orthopedic injury (30 day wait) instead of a simple accident (1-day wait). I am appealing this misclassification, expecting it to be re-opened as an accident. Update: 8.18.25 - My appeal was denied. Figo wont pay anything towards my $720 claim. Apparently anything other than a broken bone doesn't qualify as an orthopedic accident and is subject to the 30 day waiting period. From their reply to my appeal: "Orthopedic conditions, with the exception of broken bones only, are considered Orthopedic Illnesses under this policy." So, if your pup runs into a wall or falls, trips or has some other form of accident and is screaming and limping and you decide to take him/her to an emergency vet... Unless it is a broken bone Figo won't pay for the vet visit, diagnostic x-rays or pain medication. I will be dropping my Figo policy immediately. I suggest that you stay away from this poor quality & misleading insurance coverage.
