Excessive time to settle my claim.

The online claim was very straightforward, all questions were easily answered including details of present vet AND previous vet. However the claims department failed to communicate with the previous veterinary practice properly so I received several messages and letters saying that the claims department could not get treatment information from my previous veterinary practice. They failed to explain to them that I was a previous client. That vet had no existing treatment information because they, of course, had filed me into Previous Clients. This led to weeks of delays before the claims department paid me. Basically they need staff with a bit of intelligence who don’t just follow the “ procedure “ I won’t recommend them to anyone!

Exactly as insurance should work.

Exactly as insurance should work. My dog went down with sudden onset vomiting and rapid dehydration, requiring a couple of nights at the vet hospital. I paid the bill, informed the insurance company, and 5 days later the money was back in my account. You could not ask for more.
