Normal claim

It did not take too terribly long for my.last claim to be paid. But normally it takes what feels like an excessive amount of time to pay. This is what normally happens. I'm glad y'all pay them but the process takes too long. Maybe there need to be a few more employees. Heck, I'd work for yall. Everyone seems pretty nice also.

Mostly good

Very easy to file the claim. Took quite a while to hear the result and no l didn't hear much during the time between when the chain was complete and when I found out it was finished. I did get one email telling me the process was slower than usual because of high volume. Over all quite satisfied. Thank you.

Reimburse process is too long.

1. Reimburse process is too long. It takes over 45 days. 2. Even though 45 days left, the status of claim did not change. So I reached out to a representative to know what's going on my claim. through live chat. It was really hard to get response from a representative. 3. Petsbest looks only working on hooking up customers to add their pet to policy and hardly manage the current customers who have a question for reimburse claim. * When I tried to reach out to a representative through live chat as going through "current customer - I have question something", nobody worked on it. * When I tried to reach out to a representative though live chat as going though "current customer - I want to add a new pet to my policy.", my request is quickly matched with a representative. In light of my experience, Petsbest does not look manage the current customer for claim, but only take care of customers for adding pets to policy (that increases insurance fee).
