My sick cat was able to get the care he needed
Recently my cat got sick and I had very expensive vet bills. Because I had insurance my cat was able to get the care he needed. The online submission portal wasn’t working and took a really long time to fix. Once available, it was very easy to submit my claims with practically no paperwork and no questions asked. I got reimbursed within days of submission, which was great Just upset that I did not enroll in a no maximum plan, but having the insurance helped with his bills immensely. Overall, very pleased with the insurance and would recommend to others.
