Poor Customer Service

Trying to get reimbursed for a claim. They sent 6 emails saying only they need additional information. They contacted my vet multiple times, even though I told them they do not communicate with insurance companies. It took me a month to discover they needed a glucose read. Why they couldn't say that in one of the many emails, we could have resolved this long ago. They put the policyholder through the ringer. I would not recommend.

Claim processing time is not as advertized

We decided to go with Spot based on the reviews we read and the advertised quick claim processing that stated 48-72 hrs. We adopted a new aussie puppy and we went with both the pet insurance and the wellness plan. I submitted all the paperwork we received from the breeders vet and then took the puppy to the vet after signing up. It was a first vet visit for us so the usual (exam, shots etc). The total cost was $213. I submitted all the paperwork to SPOT and got an instant message saying that due to high volume of claims at this time yadda yadda it could take longer than expected etc. Ok that's fine but keep in mind this is not what they advertised and is not what I would think anyone would consider quick claims. It has now been 8 working days and there has been no status change on my account. Just says processing... Banfield may not have been perfect but at least the discounts for wellness was immediate, taken off the cost at the time you paid not reimbursed like this. I will update my review if and when it pays but so far the experience hasn't met the standards I was expecting based on the reviews.
