Took over 3 and a half weeks to get reimbursed. When I signed up I was told 5-7 days and now that I have it they tell you claims take longer. They front a lie to get you to sign up then just think it’s acceptable to say oh our processing times are longer thinking that because they say that and say thank you for understanding that it’s acceptable but it’s not acceptable. They will also not cover claims for testing when your dog is sick of it can also be uses as a routine test. My girl needed her leptospirosis values checked because she was having nose bleeds and they refused to cover it because that’s also a routine test even though in this situation it was by a specialist to determine if that was causing her issues. DONT GET PETSBEST

Scam insurance

My claim for a veterinarian visit of nearly $900 had every line of invoice denied. First they denied for a reason thinking the procedure was for something else. When I notified them this was wrong, they denied again saying it was a pre-existing condition, although the dog had never been diagnosed or treated for the condition.
