Claims processing takes forever with…

Claims processing takes forever with absolutely no notes for the customer or even their customer service reps. Keep getting told due to high value of claims and short staffing claims are delayed. When claims are finally processed, they will look for every reason NOT to payout a claim, even with proper documentation and letter from the vet. I would drop this insurance company if I didn't have to worry about pre-existing conditions under a new policy.

Quick response time although I have yet to receive my payment. Easy to submit a claim. Only getting about 60% of my claim paid due deductibles, percentages, and uncovered expenses.

They make it so easy to submit my claim through the app and they don’t make me jump through hoops to get my reimbursement. If you have a long hospitalization bill it does take a while to get the reimbursement (one claim took about two months) but that’s really the only negative. I would have had to euthanize my cat if I hadn’t had this insurance.
