Denied routine care in spite of yearly allowance.

I purchased this insurance through Progressive for my cat and made sure to get a plan that covered teeth cleanings. It came time to bring my cat in for a teeth cleaning, and the vet found brand new dental issues (tooth re-absorption) that required extractions as they are quite painful for cats. The bill ended up being quite expensive surprise. When I submitted it to ManyPets, they denied everything, including the cleaning that my plan explictly covers $150/year for, on the grounds that my cat had evidence of gingivitis (what cat doesn't) so therefore the brand new tooth reabsorption was a pre-existing condition. My vet put together a very well evidenced rebuttal proving that the tooth reabsorption was a new issue, unrelated to the gingivitis, that no one had known about (again, this happened during a teeth cleaning visit). ManyPets response was to cover the $150 for the cleaning they initially denied, and nothing else. I do not recommend this insurance and am very frustrated that Progressive recommended it to me. It's one thing to deny claims for frivolous reasons, it's another to deny routine care that do not come with any conditions on the contract. I will be changing providers as soon as my term is up.
