Two more claims approved
Recently our baby boy came walking up with a limp tail. He had been fine in the morning, but when I saw him later the back end of his tail was sagging, even when he was trying to hold it up as he walked towards me.
I was worried, of course, so about twenty minutes later we were at the vet with him. The vet didn't find the cause of the limp tail, though he didn't find any fractures. He gave him two shots - an anti inflammatory and Convenia, just in case, and he took him home to keep an eye on him.
Our bill was about $170. I also decided to follow that up by buying some flea meds (we had the whole wellness plan, which covers most things). I submitted all of the paperwork and proof of purchase of the flea meds within about 24 hours. It didn't take too long to get approval notices, and the checks have arrived covering 90% of the costs, save for the $100 yearly deductible.
Every time I have submitted a claim it has been accepted and the insurance has sent a check without hassle. I will say I try to be very orderly - I give all of the paperwork in a PDF file right away and fill out the form and send it via e-mail.
I feel safe knowing that we have this insurance for our boy.
And, fortunately, his tail has healed up and it back to normal now! We aren't positive about what happened, but the vet visit and some careful observation, along with keeping him cooped up for a little bit while he recovered, did the trick.
