MetLife Pet Insurance Improper Claim Denial
I was just on the phone with one of their senior agents, Sue Ann. This is the fifth time I am calling on a claim that was originally submitted on 1/30/2026. After five weeks, they denied payment on an entirely legitimate claim totaling $2559.51 related to emergency pet care that was required as a result of a diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE), the symptoms of which include extensive blood in the pet's stool. I am awaiting a call from Christi, who I was told would be calling me in 1-5 days. It is my sincere hope that your pets receive better care than this. The reason provided for denial of the claim was a clinical note referencing loose stool. Our dog is now more than 2.5 years old. Are they suggesting that her loose stool has finally caught up to her and that this condition could not have been brought on by perhaps one of a hundred other issues including something as simple as digestion of a stick? I understand that they are in the business of collecting premiums and not paying claims by erecting hurdles that they know a significant percentage of insured parties will not pursue (I'm not that guy), but this is absurd and a flagrant violation of the pact they have between pet owners and the company. Shame on the CEO Brian Jorgensen for fostering this type of culture. They will be hearing from me, consistently.
