Strongly do not recommend; understand their calculation of "deductible" before purchasing.
Do not recommend. While employees are pleasant and claims process fairly smooth, Healthy Paws' definition of "deductible" is inconsistent with what one commonly associates with the term in the insurance industry. They carefully define "deductible" in the policy to be the amount one must first pay AFTER your pet's coinsurance portion is applied"; thus your out-of-pocket spend is not 100% counted towards the deductible amount. For example, if you have if have a deductible of $750 with a reimbursement amount of 60%, in fact you must spend $1,250 ($750/.60) before reimbursement potentially kicks in. They multiply the percentage of reimbursement times your out of pocket and consider that amount towards the deductible; e.g., 60% x $1,000 (out of pocket) = $600 towards annual deductible. There are no disclosures making this clear. I never would have purchased the policy had this been more clear to me. After submitting only two claims, they raised my rates. Very questionable business practices. I have since switched insurers with even better rates!
