Not worth it to, take too long to process the claim

My experience with MetLife Pet Insurance has been nothing short of frustrating. First, their chat support is practically non-existent. It's rarely accessible and seems to be there more for show than actual assistance. The claim process could be faster, taking up to 21 days from the date of submission. During this time, the app needs updates on whether the claim is approved or not, leaving you in the dark. I often need to call in and check the status of updates. Some Representatives are helpful; some want to get off the call. Instead of efficient online communication, they insist on sending you an Explanation of Benefits(EOB) through the mail, which is a waste of paper and completely unnecessary. This information should be readily available on their website for easy reviews. Speaking of the website, it's far from user-friendly. Navigating through it to find essential information takes time and effort. Overall, MetLife Pet Insurance needs significant improvements in customer service, claim process efficiency, and digital communication. I would not recommend it based on my experience.

Worst Pet insurance policy

I submitted a claim for my cat that has been under MetLife insurance for the past year. My cat, Bambina is now sick with heart and kidney failure. MetLife has not processed her claim after 30 days. I canceled the policy today. Worst Pet Insurance company ever

Excellent coverage and customer service

I am so happy that I decided to purchase pet insurance for my two dogs. While, we always hope to keep our dogs healthy with regular check-ups sometimes accidents happen. Such a thing happened with my 3-year old cocker spaniel. She and my other dog got into a bottle of Advil. The cocker ate some and was very sick. I had to rush her to emergency vet and the two night three day stay was quite expensive. Met Life paid my claim within two weeks and reimbursed most of the claim (less deductible). I'm grateful that I have Met Life Ins or I may have had to make the decision to put my dog down over an accident. I am now a loyal customer for life!

Honestly pet insurance is a scam

They make it as difficult as possible to get reimbursed. They have ridiculous and unreasonable qualifications for what paperwork is acceptable and what’s not, even if it details everything necessary for them to be able to process the claim, i.e. invoice, pricing and soap notes. Customer service was unhelpful as well and didn’t provide any solutions as to why my paperwork was denied. Eff you MetLife.

Infuriating

This company is giving me the run around. I filed a claim for my dog and keep getting told documents I have uploaded and emailed MULTIPLE times are missing. I have spoken to three different customer service agents who have all assured me they have everything and then by the next day I get another notification that the documents are missing. I was on the phone, pulled up the claim in the app and was looking at the document attached to the claim while they told me it was missing. This is the most infuriating experience. Do not bother with this useless company.
