There have been instances where eligible claims were denied and it was only because I called to query that I was told it was being “reviewed” by a machine, I assume AI. Because I called the claim was reviewed by an actual person and approved. It also takes several days sometimes 3 weeks before a claim is addressed. Neither of these occurrences is acceptable.

They are taking months to pay claims and when I call customer service I get a different story every time

i"m still waiting for completion of my claim from 10/1

You should allow insureds to specify the claim amount. I’ve had issues with adjusters misunderstanding the amount claimed in complex claims.

Advertisement for metlife and when you are signing up highlighted quick claim process. It doesnt say 7-10 days or longer to review & process claims. It is in the handbook very deep its not something clearly highlighted. I've waited up to 15 days for a claim to be processed. I make sure to even get SODA from vet office and submit all together and the time frame is still long. I've notice while deductible is still due claims are processed quicker as its applied toward deductible 3-5 days to process.

Like customer service, Dislike claim process, dislike time it takes to pay.

We've had met life for the entirety of one of our pups life. We got it the day we got him. You would think that given the fact that we've made claims for every vet visit and all his issues for the last 2 years, they would have all records on file and payouts would be pretty prompt - within the 3-5 day window that's advertised. But no. In the last year I would say only 1-2 claims here and there are within that window. Most are drug out for 10 days or more. And when emergencies come up and we drain our account for it, time is everything hence the reason for insurance to help with these costs. But they keep us in a bind by dragging out the payment. They say they need documents from the vet, but I've uploaded every receipt and soap note he's ever got, yet every time "more information is needed". Now that being said, they have been good about actually paying claims without a bunch of run around. Customer service is generally nice - minus some issues when a dog died, and we rescued another dog. It seems there is a big lack of communication. Take it from me. If you find yourself in a situation where a dog passes, remove them from your policy after the end of life claim. Make sure they are off the policy before adding a new dog. It will save you so much headache. In short. Payment speed and training seems to be the biggest flaws. And for reference the first year we had them we never waited more than the advertised 3-5 days for reimbursement. We didnt change the documents we uploaded or the vets we used (we use the same 2 offices for everything). Met life has just chosen to slow down on the reimbursement for some reason. They also don't tell you why the claim is drug out unless you call in - in which they always say more information needed from the vet.

I submitted a claim that clearly stated the reason was Ear infection. Someone decided it was Environmental Allergy and denied it. I chatted online and he said send SOAP notes, which I did. Denied again and, per phone call, now they say it was denied due to a Preexisting condition. I've had insurance with them for more than a year. Are they saying she's had an ear infection that long? Really? Now I have to jump through hoops to appeal?? Unbelievable!!

I have been paying monthly for pet insurance and every time I turn in a vet bill, they argue and don't reimburse as they're supposed to. I'm so upset right now because they have been taking my money every month, but they do not reimburse you! My vet has repeatedly sent them everything they needed, and even talked to them on the phone (8 times). They just kept finding every excuse to not pay. I do not recommend them! There's much better pet insurance out there. Met pet insurance, is a joke!! They owe me over $1,600.00.

It’s gotten so expensive!
