Hello Kathleen,
We're sorry for any frustration you've experienced with the claims process. The first accident or illness related claim submitted typically takes about 30 business days to process as we work directly with you and your vet providers to gather any additional medical records needed and review your pet's complete medical history. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details of your claim, but please feel free to reach out to [email protected] with your name and policy number and we're happy to provide further assistance!
Best regards,
The Embrace Team

Jolene,
We are sorry to hear of your frustration with the claims process with Embrace. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process the first accident or illness claim as we gather your pet’s complete medical history. Obtaining medical history is a process we are continuously working to improve. We work directly with your vet to gather any additional medical records needed to review your pet’s complete medical history and we copy you on any email request to keep you in the loop. The good news is once your pet's medical history has been established, future claims tend to process much quicker and our standard processing time is 10-15 business days. You are always welcome to reach out to us at 800-511-9172 to check on the status of a claim and we are happy to help!
Best regards,
The Embrace Team
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out, Joli. We are happy to hear that your claim experience with Embrace has been satisfactory and that your pets have remained healthy, so you have not had much use for the policy at this time. While we do understand the frustration, we are currently unable to change billing dates on our policies. We do offer the option to change between monthly and annual billing schedules as needed, to best suit your budget and financial situation, however, we are unable to change the related billing dates. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team to discuss if you are struggling to manage the cost of your policy, as we may have other solutions for you to explore like changing your coverage to adjust your premium cost.
Best regards,
The Embrace Team
Seth,
We are sorry to hear you are disappointed with your policy and multiple aspects of our service here at Embrace. We see you spoke with a team member regarding your concerns surrounding your pet's pre-existing conditions directly. We appreciate you taking the time to discuss the concern with our team, as we always want to ensure all coverage is assessed fairly.
Regarding premium increases, we understand that any increase in premium cost is not ideal. Embrace evaluates premium increases based on an annual evaluation of our book of business. We evaluate with focus on the age of the insured pets, claims trends, the tenure of the policy and also inflation, with specific attention to increases in veterinary costs. While we understand that the option to reduce your coverage may not be favorable in your situation, for many of our Pet Parents this option provides them the peace of mind that their pets can maintain a level of coverage but they can also be considerate of their budget.
Please know that we appreciate your feedback, as we are always striving to improve. We understand that at times our hold times may be extended. We are taking steps to hire and train additional staff to better serve our Pet Parents and hope to resume our normal operating standards soon!
Best regards,
The Embrace Team
Yvette,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Ann,
Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry to hear of your negative experience with Embrace.
We do have one department who services policies and one department which assists in setting new policies up. Since they are separate departments the hold times can vary. We have been experiencing a high call volume lately in servicing policies but I want to assure you that we recognize this and we have changes coming soon to get back to our regular standard of service.
Regarding our customer account, as this function did recently experience some upgrades, we are working through some related technical challenges. We want to assure you that our goal is improved service and functionality all around, and our team is working diligently to get service restored soon.
As for the standard processing time of 30 business days for first claims, this process has been long-standing with Embrace, as we want to ensure our team has the time needed to obtain and properly assess each insured pet's medical history. This is done in effort to properly assess claim coverage and identify any pre-existing conditions a pet may have. The good news is, that after the first claim, our regular claims processing time is much quicker, at 10-15 business days as long as all related information is available.
Please know that we appreciate your feedback regarding areas where we can improve. We would like to thank you for your patience as work through these changes.
Best regards,
The Embrace Team
Hello Tonya,
We regret that your experience with our company did not meet your expectations. We do offer an option to complete a complimentary Medical History Review upfront for your pet, which is essentially a complete assessment of your pet's health history and is offered so you can feel confident in your pet's coverage. It provides you with a detailed report of what is considered pre-existing and not eligible for coverage. However, if this review is not requested by the policyholder, we do not review the medical records until the time of the first eligible accident or illness claim submission. We understand you've already spoken with a team member regarding your concerns, but if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out and we're happy to assist you further.
Best regards,
