朋友用trupanion,说不错,报销挺快的。。costco有figo pet insurance,看它广告做的很大,不知道好不好。。我前年开始用petplan,结果去年做annual blood test,它保险coverages包括的竟然不给报销,问题是拖了好久要了狗子从shelter领养回家的所有clinics medical records然后三个月以后declined,给出的理由是前年买保险前后45天以内没有去vet做check up which is required,我问customer service rep这个理由在我submit claim的时候告诉我decline claim就好了还要那么多medical records? 那我家狗子以后看病做annual check up的claims报不报销呢?毕竟我没法回到2020年买保险的时候去retroactively do a check up吧?她说Maybe, you can submit the claim and we will see. 简直神回答啊,当场cancel了的the insurance and filed a BBB claim. 所以lz如果买petplan的话,记得要看fine prints,记得45天内submit a vet check up, 要不然以后大概率不报销的
不是routine blood test, 其实就是个comprehensive blood test,我先打电话去问说包的,vet给的list of procedure items非常详细,我把一些洗牙,routine check up全部去掉claim的,第一次submit完打电话去问还说everything looks fine. It takes up to 2 weeks to process payment. Pet insurances一般是90天以内要求vet check up visit, 我其实因为狗子吃草去过vet了不过反正不报销就算了,不高兴的是按他们家customer service说的,以后我只有付monthly premium的份,永远都无法claim了??不cover就说哦adjuster说这个不cover,那我也学习下哪些个是不cover的,既然decline了,give me a good reason so i will definitely let it go. 没多少钱💰的事,但是这个保险一来一去你不打电话就永远是status ”waiting for medical records”,很stressful也是事实,个人体验,样本size太小。 还有他们vet开的prescription Rx也不包,20还是30,咬定买保险的时候没有45天内去vet check up,decline也成啊就不能找个好点的理由么,无语。。再说了2020年中疫苗都没有,好多vet都不开预约半天都排不上,premium每月100多记得收,等claim了这死抓着45天rule不放,吃相有点难看
回复 12楼心函的帖子 你可能没仔细看过他家的policy,他家policy里写着If your pet has not been examined by a veterinarian within six (6) months prior to the effective date of the policy, you must arrange to have your pet examined at your own expense within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the policy. Any medical condition(s), clinical sign(s), behavioral disorder(s), or illness(es) observed or recorded during the first exam, and all costs associated therewith, are automatically excluded from coverage. 还有If your pet does not receive an annual examination within each policy period following the first 12-month policy period of coverage with us, any illness, clinical sign(s), or behavioral disorder observed or recorded at the next examination will be excluded from coverage. 而且这里指的是wellness exam,因为狗不舒服或者其他原因去看vet的不算。所以每年都必须健康检查一次。你如果是因为没有做annual wellness exam被拒绝理赔,可以要求refund premium. 至于你说的”Pet insurances一般是90天以内要求vet check up visit“,你可能是记错了,他家只给你90天去file a claim, 过了90天再claim就不cover了。我家大狗是6个月的时候买的保险,小的是6周大的时候买的,每年体检,从没出现过理赔问题,甚至连我觉得不该报销的都报销了(大狗做手术时顺便拍了几张关节的x光片,想看看有没有问)。

买之前不是“可能没仔细看”,是完全没有仔细看,以前买healthpaw什么保险,没有用上,所以也没没有claim经验,就是像人买medical insurance or dental insurance那样applied common sense,以为买了保险了,effective date也显示了,pre-exisiting conditions不包,可我家狗子也没有它列出来的pre-existing conditions,所以也没多想,哈哈哈哈。。。 在追踪这个claim的时候,我倒是仔细读了它网站上的fine prints(以前打工做过paralegal),读了发现了这个claim is irrelevant to 它网站上列的underwriting preexisitng conditions, clinical signs, behavioral disorders or illnesses or exclusions that would otherwise contribute to 我家狗子的5年以来的medical records。。所以我抓住的points是: Petplan没有以pre-exisiting conditions declined my case,因为它也知道并不符合这一条;它以45 days rule为理由decline my claim,这个我也能理解(人家字虽然小,网站上也确实写了的啊);但是,它以同一个理由对未来可能发生的claims的处理的回答绝对有问题。 另外,我收到的enrollment notification email里没有提到这个45 days rule,也没有任何email/app notifications警告我需要submit vet check up or may result in claims to be dismissed or lose my coverage. 买家Insurees做到了每个月付钱satisfiied the subscription terms in order to keep the coverage. 问题是作为Insurer,what are insurer’s responsibilities to excise its good faith compliance in terms of providing (subscription) service? 人买个保险寄一大堆东西生怕漏掉你不知道,宠物保险连这么重要45 days rule最起码在enrollment letter里不应该写一笔么?说实话,网站上我看到都是去年底被decline也以后我才自己去看,都不知道前年它网站上写了啥,它自己网站上的它要改了真是一点办法都没有,它说了算,只能说,诚信是个好品啊 所以呢,归根结底,lz买保险之前要读fine prints,如果不确定的话,打电话问客服,事先做好功课,还是比较重要的
我看了一下,老大enroll之后收到的邮件说的非常明白,30天之内必须看vet to determine baseline of health。但老二enroll以后收到几封邮件,说如果过去六个月没见过vet,就要see a vet ASAP。但是两次都没有提过如果不见vet,以后就不cover。所以买保险还是要仔细看policy,不然到时候等到报销的时候才发现有些东西没做就晚了。
需要买我就买,要是不太需要就不买啊。买的话哪种比较好?来论坛就是问过来人,求推荐。
需不需要因人而异。 买了是每月固定支出,生病意外不会一下子大笔支出。但是可能好几年交了保费没用上保险。 不买的话,万一生病有意外大几千上万的花费你愿意并且也能够拿得出来就行。 我家狗的保险公司网页上说去年最高赔付是5万多刀。你想想这种情况是不是愿意直接付钱就行了
那麻烦问下你家买的是哪一种?问了半天没看到哪家狗主人出来推荐自家买的哪种保险,估计版上都没几个买的?
不过我没什么经验分享,因为狗子一直很健康,偶尔看个病顶多一百出头,保险至今没用过。我安慰自己,保险是防止狗狗老了生病要花钱,等狗生病再买保险就来不及了。
特别感谢!我搜了网上一堆推荐的。第一次买狗险希望买好点的,大家用过有经验的,不想自己瞎买。 3-400一年真心不贵,它吃的玩的出去洗澡都得不少钱了。
我家用的healthy paws 第二年保费涨了25%
petplan一直不报销annual blood test啊,这种routine care基本都不报销的,除非保险包涵wellness plan。基本所有保险都要求提供enrollment那天起一年内或者enroll之后规定时间内的体检记录吧,建立一个baseline,这样才能确定哪些属于preExisting condition。
还有他们vet开的prescription Rx也不包,20还是30,咬定买保险的时候没有45天内去vet check up,decline也成啊就不能找个好点的理由么,无语。。再说了2020年中疫苗都没有,好多vet都不开预约半天都排不上,premium每月100多记得收,等claim了这死抓着45天rule不放,吃相有点难看

lemonade很糟糕嘛? 我感觉保险到最后算总账和不买有事掏钱估计差不多,却别是一个是每月支出一个是一下子支出
我们用lemonade 体验很不好。比如狗狗突然查出甲状腺的问题,他就会说这个是慢性病,投保之前肯定就已经有了。然后把几年前狗狗的血检报告翻出来。可是那个时候没有到达需要干预的程度。类似这种。另外很讨厌的是理赔过程,不能直接上传收据。要联系你的vet写一个报告发给他们。
