Claim Misclassification / non-payment
"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.
