Many weeks to hear back on my claim

Many weeks to hear back on my claim. Certain explanations of denied claims didn’t make sense. When I called they sent me a form to appeal and I don’t know why the person on the phone couldn’t appeal for me. Frustrated you wouldn’t cover putting a dog to sleep when it’s required by the vet.

Two Key Factors

What made this experience great were two key factors: First, I was really pleasantly surprised by how much was reimbursed - it was honestly substantially more than I expected. The cost of the services reflects the skill, facilities, and level of care provided by this particular vet practice, and we needed the best emergency care possible. Two, it was great to have a live person available to speak with me. I had never filed a claim before, and the customer service person patiently guided me through the process. Even the front desk person at the 24 Hour Emergency Hospital spoke about how easy the process is with Pets Best. And now my dog is completely cured, and the illness was not the devastating financial disaster it would have been without Pets Best insurance. This is a great company!
