I've had MetLife for a year and a half & I'm appalled by the bad reviews, reminds me of paid hacks posting negative reviews on Yelp I've had MetLife for a year and a half. Every claim has been paid, the longest I've had to wait was 2 weeks. They pay for all parasite % heartworm preventatives, with wellness they pay 100% of vet visits and they pay what the vet charges, not some silly limit like $150 for a spay/neuter that you see with some companies. I'm not sure why all the negative reviews but I can't believe they have gotten that many complaints, they have been great!

NOT RECOMMENDED by this veterinarian! I am a veterinarian with coverage for 3 dogs and 3 cats through this business. I used to recommend them to everyone when they were PetFirst. After they were bought out by MetLife, things got much worse. They denied coverage for medications for my dog with congestive heart failure-- because my boss has been refilling them! Apparenly, their definition of "business partner" now includes anyone in your own practice. I am now having to go to a different practice, pay full price up front for visits, medications, etc, and then send them in. If nothing else, I was saving them quite a bit with my employee discount! Remember, if they'll do this to me, a veterinarian with a decade long set of policies who has recommended them hundreds of times to clients, what will they do to you?? Please use Trupanion instead.

11/1 update, after several calls and added notes they did a 2nd review, was reimbursed something. Their site is not very user friendly but they are legit. I signed up my 2 japanese chin girls one is 6 years old with no pre existing conditions, healthy girl, I switched her from embrace to MetLife, I submitted a few invoices (one was wellness which I did not get), one for dental which I was told would be covered only to get the run around, every customer service agent gives me a different story, I finally found out after several calla they need SOAP notes so I sent 1 years worth. I'll see what they say next. New born Valentina has no issues yet but I'm on the fence. Thinking about pulling both dogs off and returning to embrace. I love Embrace

Good luck getting a reimbursement in a reasonable amount of time, if at all. I submitted a claim for a month before this review. It took them 10 days to ask for more info only after I called them. After another 10 days, I called again and they needed more paperwork. In both cases, I sent the paperwork the same day. I am now at 30 days without resolution and another phone call was a waste of time. The customer service people are friendly and helpful, as much as they can, but the online chat never works. I wish I had never left Nationwide, they paid promptly.

Pulling Teeth Without the Fun I adopted my Dogs at the local humane society and they were pushing MetLife Pet insurance with their welcome packet. I knew insurance was a good idea so I got a decent plan and thought I was good. Wrong, filing anything and trying to get a correct "Explanation of Benefits" where they detail how they "honor" your vet charges is like pulling teeth. Had a scare on the first week where one dog decided to eat a leather toy at night and had an ER trip and the filing was awful. I gave the entire adoption history with the vet notes and they denied the claim because I was missing 6 years of medical history on a dog I adopted 2 weeks ago. Not to mention the company is setup so you cant actually contact anyone on the claims team who could simply correct the the fumbled information, you have to contact a dedicated customer service rep. who can email the claims team for you and "contact" you in a week when they hear back or you have to fill out an appeal form that has your vets signature and stamp on it (yes a stamp.) Sure, one time would be bad but its like the claims team is either toddlers or is in India because they cant report the right vet visit dates or read the receipts that say what the vet has or has not prescribed. I think they have fallen to a new level of dysfunction and I'm joining a new company at the end of my plan. PET OWNERS BEWARE 2024.
