Buyer Beware
My first anniversary date is 11/2021. Over the past couple of months, my 4 year old dog tested positive for an autoimmune skin condition which required a nose biopsy, frequent visits to the vet and medication. I submitted a claim for the nose biopsy which was summarily declined before the results came back. Appealing the decision, they eventually paid part of it. Then, there were two sick visits to the vet neither which were covered because they are considered pet exams. The meds were covered, but needed to be submitted separately, and one was overlooked and needed my follow up to get the reimbursement. Today, I got a note saying my premium would be going up almost $10 a month on my first anniversary date based on a state by state reimbursement algorithm. They reevaluate your premiums every year, I’m sure, with an eye towards raising them. I’m also understanding that the deductibles can go up as your pets age. I’m warning you to look closely at these pet insurance companies and do a proper comparison before you buy. And I don’t recommend Healthy Paws.
