Sometimes, reimbursements come quickly. Sometimes they come slowly. They rarely come with information until the final decision unless something is missing. A little more personal contact would be nice. And translating doctor speak into English. Why was something determined to be a pre-existing condition? How would I know or verify or know to appeal? Three stars because the process often works but information flows slowly and is sometimes difficult to interpret.

This is our second dog with Met Life and we are about to get a 3rd dog who we will now have to consider going to MetLife for as opposed to one of your competitors. Earlier this year I appealed a decision by MetLife who classified a request for a vet consultation as establishing a preexisting condition and subsequently denied $1500 or so of one time vet services as we desperately searched for getting our dog care.

Too many emails and still waiting for my hard copy of policy

This has been a terrible insurance company to deal with. They keep coming up with different excuses not to pay my pets bills. My poor baby chihuahua had to be put to sleep 3 weeks ago. He has had cancer for the last year. This company has been putting me through the ringer. They keep changing the codes to another type of cancer with a whole new $300 deductible. I have had to call over and over again to tell them the medical expenses are all for the same illness including the euthanasia! Who puts a person through that while they are also grieving for the loss of their pet? Plus, they love to hide new costs in their contracts and not notify you when they change things like adding a $3.00 charge for every check they send out. When I asked they said this has been in place for a while. No notice or anything. They get to put everything on line without one shred of paperwork not giving you a choice to go paperless. They also just started not covering sales tax. There is no consistency. Sometimes they'll cover the tax. You never know what you're going to come up against. Plus, I have one bill from almost 3 months ago that the shorted me $140 for with no explanation of benefits online at all. They are blaming it on IT and said you're out of luck until they fix it. Seriously? You can tell the poor reps are exhausted from complaint calls. I have been paying over $5,000 a year for 2 dogs just to Fetch. I have had this insurance since 2012 under various names and this year has been the worst. They nickel and dime you and hope you won't notice. Now my only dog just went up to almost $3,000 a year with a 10,000 limit. They don't pay for prescription dog food either. They want you to drop them without recourse to go anywhere else. Shame on them.

I have uploaded claims and they have disappeared even after a confirmation email. The review time takes about a month not 5-10 working days. The website is very slow.

The turn around times for my claims is unacceptable. It often takes two weeks to be compensated. When I start a claim I also upload all of the required documents, but I still get an email saying you are "waiting" on documentation. Before I signed up for your service there was all kinds of promises on your website for "quick" turn around on compensation. Your customer service is not helpful at all and pretty dismissive anytime that I contact customer service. I have serious concerns about payment if I ever have serious illness or injury of my day.

I literally cannot get in contact with anyone. While uploading pet information and receiving the EOB is decently efficient, to update an address/reimbursement account- I literally cannot get in touch with a soul :(

Takes too long to process

If you have a problem with billing and need a supervisor to assist you, forget it! They are all trained to say “I understand you” and “I am sorry “ which frustrates you even more.

I keep getting emails saying my claim is missing information. I submit that information, and I get the same email telling me the same information is missing. The email isn't clear to begin with. A real human (I assume) reaches out to tell me the claim will be processed ASAP, then I get the same original email saying information is missing. Have never had a problem until MetLife took over. Get your act together!
