Easy to File

I submitted my invoices doctor's notes and test results very easily on my home computer. It took about 30 days to get paid for the claim. I was not notified by email but by a letter with the explanation of benefits attached for each charge. I found it very easy to do and I was satisfied with the amount of the claim that was paid.

I recommend Pets Best Insurance

I've had Pets Best Health Insurance for about 10 years. I recently filed my first claim for my 4 year old Boston Terrier who somehow got a corneal ulcer, unknown how. Took her to the ER and her follow-ups, then sent the claims in. Very easy process. I met the deductible with that expense and was reimbursed in about 4 weeks for the remainder of the bill.

rejected not one but two of my claims citing "small print" .

I have been with this company for many pets . I have been with this company with my current girl for 7 years. I do not turn many claims in and understand the process and terms. the outlandish citings they gave for the last 1/ cracked tooth had to be extracted. they did not cover it because, I DIDNT HAVE MY DOGS TEETH CLEANED UNDER ANESTHESIA THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF HER LIFE. That is insane. the vet couldnt even believe it and has never heard that before. the second claim, was that my dog was acting very strange after a severe thunderstorm in the mountains. she wasnt eating going on two days. not interested in anything. DENIED THAT CLAIM WITH NO EXPLAINATION. I guess mental health (if that is what it was ) is not a thing with pets. THIS COMPANY HAS RAISED RATES AND STARTED DENYING LEGITAMATE CLAIMS. I AM SORRY I EVER REFERRED MY FRIENDS TO THEM.
