PEMCO teams up with Pets Best Pet Insurance to offer pet coverage
The partnership allows policyholders to choose the best pet coverage for their pet’s needs, plus have access to treatment from any veterinarian of choice and simplified claim processing.
In light of September being National Pet Health Insurance Awareness Month, PEMCO Mutual Insurance will offer pet insurance to all of its customers through a recent partnership with Pets Best Insurance Services, LLC, a Synchrony company. This addition enables PEMCO policyholders to select the best pet coverage for their pets' unique needs, receive treatment from a veterinarian of their choice, and have access to easy and accurate claim processing.
“At PEMCO, our long-standing mission has been to protect the people and things that matter most in life. Pets are part of that equation; they’re integral parts of many families,” said Stan McNaughton, CEO of PEMCO Insurance, in a company release. “Through our new partnership with Pets Best, our customers with pets will have one less worry in their lives.”
The partnership also allows PEMCO customers to choose customized plans that can cover accidents, illnesses, and routine care while taking into consideration their pet’s needs and personal budget. According to the release, policyholders have access to a suite of digital capabilities such as a pet helpline, a 24/7 emergency helpline for contacting veterinary professionals regarding pet health-related questions, and free advice.
Additionally, customers can file claims with their smartphone, adjust a policy, add pets, and access claim status and details online or through the mobile app.
“Our mission at Pets Best is to give pet owners peace of mind by taking the financial worry out of owning a pet so that they can make the best decisions for their dog or cat,” said Melissa Gutierrez, Pets Best senior vice president and general manager. “The partnership with PEMCO means we are able to provide more protection and services to pets in the Northwest and across the country.”
