So, in case anyone was curious, I posted [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1io7ggn/fetch_pet_insurance_prescription_sublimit/) and [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1j4f71u/update_fetch_pet_insurance_deceitful_enrollment/) about an ongoing issue with Fetch Pet Insurance about a "prescription sub-limit" applied to Virginia, USA policies and wanted to give the final update as far as I am aware. TLDR: Fetch pet is rolling out a "prescription sub-limit" of 1500 dollars on all applicable policies, that applies to any and all medications (including ones given in hospital and during surgery). This sub-limit was not disclosed to me nor does it exist on any of their publicly available documentation. My dog had surgery in January and a portion of it wasn't covered because they applied all of the medications used in that surgery to the sub-limit, and I was informed that for the rest of the year no medications would be covered due to this sub-limit. I made a report to the BBB and contacted my states insurance board to see if this sub-limit was appropriately filed with them. Haven't heard back about the BBB complaint but my state's insurance office did confirm that Fetch filed the sub-limit with the state. I have no idea what other states this is applicable in, because there's still no information about it on their site, probably because they don't want people to know about the bottlenecking they are applying to policies. After quite a bit of back and forth, I've been informed that my and several other individuals who had surgeries are having those claims reassessed and that surgical medications will not be imposed against the sub-limit. They are adjusting the under-writing language to specifically change how they assess anesthetic drugs, but all other medications (nerve blocks, pain management in surgery, and antibiotics given in surgery) will still be applied to the sub-limit. With my reassessment, I received the remaining balance I was owed from my dog's surgery and now have about 850 dollars left in my prescription sub-limit for the year. I'm still quite a bit miffed that they were able to apply such a restrictive sub-limit to my policy without informing me, and this sub-limit is still applicable to medications given by veterinarians in-hospital, but at the very least they are not applying anesthetic medications to this sub-limit any longer. If you had a surgery only partially covered by Fetch Pet Insurance in the past year due to complications surrounding this sub-limit. Please submit an appeal, I've been told (on a recorded line) that they are reassessing any surgical claims made using the previous underwriting language surrounding this policy.

I recently had to cancel my insurance policy within 24 hours, and I was charged a $12 enrollment fee. Dianna, a manager from MetLife Pet Insurance, mentioned that while they will refund the premium, the $12 enrollment fee is non-refundable and isn’t included in the premium. Just a friendly heads-up for fellow pet owners!

We purchased Spot Pet Insurance for our newly adopted rescue Golden and chose “Accident” insurance only . They happily took our application and all monthly payments since July 2024. Over the weekend, he suddenly became lame on his back right leg and was very reluctant to walk or stand up. We know it occurred between his am walk and 3 pm. After taking him to Blue Pearl and getting imaging done as well as pain meds, we submitted our invoice for reimbursement. DENIED. Reason why? We didn’t have the EXACT time of the injury. I submitted an appeal, but if it’s denied we are cancelling. We would be better off putting $100 bucks a month away in his own health account. What a bait and switch!

I currently have 3 cats. I've had policies with Fetch (previously known as PetPlan) for nearly 2 decades, and they have covered half a dozen different cats during that time, including my current trio. Fetch has never had the cheapest policies, and it always took a while for them to pay claims, but they always provided good coverage and did not engage in the scummy bait-and-switch practices so common to other pet insurance companies. All that changed Monday. To provide some background, two of my three cats are middle-aged littermates, a female and a male. The boy is generally healthy except for the occasional herpes virus flare up. He's had those since he was a kitten so Fetch considered them a pre-existing condition and has never covered any of those expenses. Fair enough. His sister suffered a serious illness in 2023 and was ultimately diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Due to complications during the initial work up, she got aspiration pneumonia. She nearly died and had to spend 10 very expensive days in the ICU. She recovered from the near fatal pneumonia, but unfortunately the lymphoma is terminal and all we can do is give her medication to keep her comfortable and slow the progression. If we're really lucky we may get a couple more years with her. Since her diagnosis in 2023 she has had to see her vet every couple of month for blood tests because the medications suppresses her immune system and can have serious side effects. So, she incurs regular medical bills, but nothing near the expenses she incurred in 2023. Both cats had their policies renewed in 2024 with moderate increases in the annual premiums. Today I received my renewal documents for 2025, and I am absolutely floored by what Fetch has done: * **Fetch designated BOTH cats as high risk and forced them into high-risk policies.** * **The female's 2025 premium went up by about $75 to $1380 per year, but the deductible quadrupled to $1000 and my co-pay went from 10% to 40%!** * **Even though her brother has rarely been sick and never with anything serious, his 2025 premium increased by $817 to $2200 per year, his deductible doubled to $500 and my co-pay went from 10% to 30%!** I had expected the girl's policy costs might increase, but there is no justification for what Fetch has done with her brother's policy. I called Fetch to get an explanation and see what could be adjusted at least for the boy's policy. Their answer was, "Nothing." Take it, or leave it. This is how Fetch treats customers who've had policies with them for decades. Just a big middle finger. Fetch was bought by a huge private equity firm a few years ago and these predatory business practices are the result. Wall Street has been buying up veterinary practices and pet insurance companies with the goal of consolidating the industry into monopolies that will rob pet owners blind. For Fetch it's either pay up or put fido to sleep.

I have had embrace for 10 years on my dog and cage and have had claims and have a 90% Reimbursement Rate they are awesome . Over the years rate increase were always as expected .I just got my Renewal and it sky rocketed from $220 a month to $340! Any one else experiencing a dramatic rate increase?

I have had Embrace pet insurance for my dog and cat for 10 years and they have always been Awesome and I have a 90% Reimbursement Rate on covered claims . They have covered many claims and have helped alot . I do pay a hefty monthly price to have this peace of mind. I’m use to an annual increase that’s incremental but a 55% jump from 220 a month is just outlandish in my opinion to 340 a month now . Have you experienced a High Rate Increase also?
