Claims are difficult until they have medical records and it's lunacy to need 1 year of medical records on a 6 mo old dog

I submitted a large claim for a hospitalization in May and the claim has still not been paid. I was told they needed a GAP letter to explain why I don't have a year's worth of medical records on a 6 month old puppy. DUH his birthdate is 12/1/19. I emailed the note twice only to be told they did not receive it. It has been extremely difficult to get the medical records they need. Finally asked to speak to a supervisor and hoping to get this resolved. If you are using the app to submit a claim don't bother. There is an option to request medical records but NO request will be made. This cost me a month of wasted time. Just know they will process no claims without a complete medical records profile of two years for an older dog and 1 year for less than 12 mon old. They do not offer help with getting records and records must be totally complete including all vet notes and labs, tests, etc.
