Pet · How pricing works

The wellness plan MetLife only sells through an agent

MetLife files two different pet wellness products: the scheduled tiers you can buy online, and a richer "standard preventive care" plan sold only through an agent, priced like real insurance instead of a coupon book. The filings show exactly what ticking that box does to your premium — including a 21–31% multiplier on the sick-care premium itself.

The problem with PURE: where 40 cents of every dollar goes

PURE's own homeowners rate filings assume 45% of premium comes back as claims. Chubb files 59%, Cincinnati 58%, the market 58%. Its annual statement shows where the difference goes: 40.2 cents of every premium dollar to underwriting expense, against 24.8 at Chubb and 30.9 at Cincinnati — and five straight years of underwriting losses anyway.

Which insurance actually pays you back

Comprehensive health returns 91% of every premium dollar as claims. Mortgage insurance and earthquake coverage return single digits. The same measure, run across every line of insurance sold in America, over eight years of experience.
