Benefits under each plan are unclear

Benefits under each plan are unclear. I thought I had signed up for full dental coverage but then I got a $1000 bill. I don't know what I am paying for. Probably going to move to another company.

So far I’m pleased w/ Pets Best Ins

So far I’m pleased w/ Pets Best Ins. The woman I spoke w/ in Customer Service (I didn’t get her name) was very nice & very helpful. Unfortunately, my wonderful cat, Little Kitty, got sick & died & Pets Best paid all her bills. The reason I gave them 4 stars & not 5 is because they took forever to reimburse me.

Every claim I have sent in the past month . It’s very stressful having a pet that isn’t well without seeing a email every morning. I even had vet send invoice in sent pic of just 1 invoice needing at

Every claim I have sent in in the past month has needed attention. I have faxed them emails going on their website and they still need attention. I have paid five vet bills since October eighth. I don’t know how to give an itemize list for a prescription either I sent them the receipt the order from the doctor and there is no itemize list for prescription. I’m getting tired of getting this email every morning that they can’t read it when I have sent them in many times in different forms. Also should have read the policy closer my dog was just diagnosed with OA suspected coronoid disease both elbows which I was told anything bilateral in regards to surgery isn’t covered or long term treatment for OA. I will be changing my other pups policy and wait to see if they cover additional e rays scheduled next wk. After that what’s the point of this policy ?
