The claim process is simple

The claim process is simple, what is an is not covered is clearly and respectfully explained. When I get reimbursed, I receive it in the time frame they tell me. I wish all insurance worked this way.

Easy to file claim

"I never worry about submitting a claim with Pets Best. All that is required from me is to fill in minimal information and attach a copy of my receipts / backup for Toby. I leave the rest to Pets Best and wait for the claim to be processed at which time a determination letter is sent to me via email. The entire process goes pretty quickly. If I have any questions after receiving the determination, I call Pets Best and speak with an agent. I've found that the agents are very informative, listen well to my questions and are good at explaining in a way that I understand easily. I am a satisfied customer."

Pets Best is amazing!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the ease of filing my claim and reimbursement. I never knew how much it would help, but it has been a lifesaver. I strongly recommend!

Pet's Best makes claims easy

We recently took one of our cats in for a spay, when she got there they told us she would need to have all of her teeth removed because she had stomatitis and was in pain and would continue to be in pain until they were removed. We had no choice but to pay almost $1,000 when we were only expecting a couple hundred. Thankfully we were able to recoup a good portion of that thanks to Pet's Best. I was able to upload my documents from my phone and they handled the rest. My kitty's recovery was a bit hard on her, but thankfully the process to submit claims through Pet's Best was not. We received our reimbursement in about a week after we were notified our claim was approved. All in all, great experience.
