My dog was insured for 9 years. We never filed a claim. The past two years the policy doubled. $45 to $90 causing me to changed the deductible to get it to $70. This year it doubled again to $158. I cancelled it. Crazy. Worse than BlueCross for humans

Embrace won't accept your claim if you wait. I held on to my receipts from the entire year to handle all at once. They won't accept my claims from earlier in the year because my policy renewed during that time. My pets were covered during that time. They received covered services. There should be no time limit to file a claim.

Unfortunately, I find myself following in the same footsteps of many one-star reviews. Initially, I told everyone, who would listen, how happy I was with my Embrace Pet Insurance Policy. My policy started off at $47 per month and grew rapidly from there. By year seven, my policy with the same coverage, was $225 per month. By year eight, my monthly premium increased to $425 per month, that’s a 900% increase over the starting cost. Similarly, I was told it was because of my dog’s Breed and age. However, a quick price check with Embrace’s cost on-line tool, using the exact same parameters, zip code, age, breed and exact coverage (limits and deductibles) showed a $200 per month discrepancy. So clearly, I wasn’t being charged the going rate for my dog’s breed. Embrace customer service offered me one of their step-down “accident only” policies, which I accepted. My dog had a fall while swimming; afterwards, he was experiencing limping in both front shoulders. I submitted all three of my dogs visits, from a major Veterinary Hospital in Boston, to Embrace under the “accident only policy”. The Embrace adjuster denied all three claims, she concluded his fall and shoulder pain was caused by an illness. I appealed all three claims and included a personalized note from the Senior Surgeon, who treated my dog. The surgeon concurred with his Hospital’s Ultra-Sound Department, that my dog’s pain and limping were the result of an injury to the soft tissue of his shoulders. My dog’s treatment plan was based on a soft tissue injury. The Embrace adjuster denied all three appeals and she concluded that my dog’s osteoporosis arthritis, from his rear left leg (which formed after a ACL surgery) had spread to his shoulders and caused both shoulders to limp. The Embrace adjuster overrode a Senior Boston Orthopedic Surgeon and the Imaging department of a World-Class Boston Hospital. I promptly canceled my policy, as I knew that my disappointment with Embrace would only grow from here. I promised myself that I would circle back with everyone from my colleagues at Pfizer to my social media presence, to share my disappointment with Embrace Pet Insurance.

Embrace is a scam - they keep your "wellness" contributions if you dont' use it within the fiscal year. The wellness savings is marketing as a savings plan for your pet, but they don't give customers any warning about using the funds timely. They claimed they give customers verbal notice only of it. They not have over $200 of my money that is just for their own pockets. Cancelled my insurance with them

Brought my puppy in for a little temporary leg soreness making her limp. I knew it was going to cost $100+ but the one thing I could rely on was a sick visit being covered. Long story short, they declined to cover and said their 6 month orthopedic issues clause prohibits those kind of claims in the first 6 months. I knew of this clause and would have waited another month if I remotely thought they would actually stick me with this clause. Well they did. No diagnosis of anything orthopedic but I got a $160 bottle of anti inflammatories for her in the end. Between my vet and these guys, I am better off hoping whatever ails our pets just goes away. What a racket. Response: i have a puppy who was covered for five months already. No one knows about small print exclusions, you don’t advertise those. No fraud and again, I would have waited a few weeks. The law is the law and I live in a crap state. I get that. I am afraid to go to the vet now so pets will suffer unless it’s really urgent. You went from asking for notes saying she wasn’t having orthopedic issues to making me prove she doesn’t have dysplasia. I think adjusters can see based on pet age and that timeline there is no fraud here. Empower your adjusters to make decisions. We are paying for this.

I was paying a high premium each and every month for my two dogs and that is now increased up to $120 a month for both my dog. This is the second time I tried to use my insurance I’ll pay for something which is what you get insurance for in the first place. First time I was denied the second time now I only got less than half had to pay $250 deductible, which is crazy after all I pay each month.

Your customer service sucks. You may be good at pet insurance but 20 minutes to get someone to answer a phone call is pathetic.

It't a waste of money they never pay on any claims

I strongly do not recommend Embrace Pet Insurance. We paid premiums expecting coverage for our pets, but when we filed our claims, all were denied. Both our family veterinarian and a veterinary specialist provided written letters confirming that the injuries were not pre-existing conditions, yet the company still refused coverage. We submitted thorough medical documentation and followed their process, but our claims were dismissed without fair consideration. After this experience, we canceled our policy. In my opinion, this company does not stand by its stated coverage, and pet owners should be aware before trusting them with their pets’ health care. We were left with thousands of dollars in expenses that we reasonably expected to be covered.

why claims take 30plus days from submission to authorization [and longer to pay] is beyond comprehension. and why embrace won't allow providers to file the claims directly is also beyond comprehension [except that they are counting on the insured to not file claims at all or not timely].
