Great Service, Minor Hiccup

My experience over the phone was excellent—everything was quick, clear, and explained thoroughly. The representative was friendly and helpful. The only small hiccup was that my Bearded Dragon’s name was spelled incorrectly on the policy, but overall I’m very happy with the service.

pointless to call

I feel like it is pointless to call, there never seems to be a good answer for rate increases or cost discrepancies. They just basically say you are screwed, good luck changing things at the next enrollment period!

Express On-Line Application Process

The on-line application process was easy to follow and gave all the information needed. This was definitely one of the better on-line experiences I have gone through.
