Pet’s Best…changing prices and not communicating

After being a customer of Pet’s Best for a while, I received my first reimbursement check last week. A few days after receiving my check, I got a notification in the mail alerting me that my rates are going up about $20 per month. It states that it is not due to any recent activity, just rising costs. I sent an application for a different dog with my wife’s email. I put all of the same information for my dog. I was quoted the rate that I am currently paying, nit the rate that is $20 more. Seems a little fishy to me. I called to question this rate increase and was told that they would pass along my concerns to a supervisor who would email me. It’s almost a week later and I haven’t received any email yet. Not too impressed so far.

Pack your patients …

Seems filing claims are taking much much longer than previous or expected. Coverage is expensive and contemplating if this insurance is a good fit. I get emails weeks after claim should be taken care of saying sorry for the delay. I filed a claim June 13th and now it’s July 17. Still waiting.

Timeliness of processing claims disappointing

Very pleased overall with the plan coverage I have. However, the processing of claims has been disappointing. They are very transparent that it may take up to 45 days for a claim to be processed. I appreciate that information, but the frustration comes from speaking with multiple customer service reps to provide info that never seems to be passed along to appropriate party. Even after vet's office calls and provides requested info it still does not help. I would have gladly given my experience a 5 as the claims were paid, but the processing was very disappointing. They will not allow you to speak with a Manager or Supervisor to express your concern or get further clarification.
