BEWARE of MetLife renewal and raising cost 40% !

-------After having policy with MetLife for several years and now second dog - we never had a complaint EXCEPT now ! At our renewal they raised the pricing 40% -- no formal letter although they state it was sent in an email 60 days ago ?? regardless how outrageous ! we only used a small portion of our benefit ! I will be shopping around tomorrow. -

HORRIBLE PRACTICES OF REJECTING CLAIMS

I signed up with Metlife Pet Insurance in March of 2023. Have filed over $900 in medical treatment for two of my pets with MetLife Pet Insurance. I was told by an agent that my insurance would cover all injuries and illnesses after 2 week waiting period and for treatments such as spaying and neutering. Every single one of my claims have been denied. I reported my one-month-old kittens who are two from the same litter, exact age. Metlife inputted the incorrect age for one of the kittens by 2 years! When I caught the mistake later, they reset my policy and had me restart my deductible payment, for THEIR administrative error. This pet insurance company is scamming customers by making it difficult to reimburse claims. I contacted customer service in mid-October to assist. They informed me the review would take 3-4 business days. It has now been over 6 weeks with no response. I have other friends and family who are sharing similar complaints. I should have known their monthly payments for the amount of supposed coverage was too good to be true. I will be following up with California Department of Insurance to flag these fraudulent practices by misstating their services upon enrollment.

I was worried when I saw the negative…

I was worried when I saw the negative reviews here, but my experience was fortunately the exact opposite! My cat had to have an emergency exploratory surgery. My claim was processed and I was paid in less that two weeks. I am very pleased so far with this company and I plan to keep my cat's policy with them.

Great service

It is always easy to file online, when they needed additional information it was quickly resolved. By the Vet and myself and the claim was finalized in 3 to 5 day with my money on the way. Always good quick service and responses.
