Excellent service!

I am very happy with HealthyPaws. They have never made an issue when paying the medical claims that I have submitted for my dog. My dog has been having on-and-off urinary issues, and they have covered all the cost without asking questions. This is unusual with pet insurances (or insurances in general) and really appreciated. It has given me the peace of mind that I needed to take care of my dog.

Buyer beware

Buyer beware. I recently purchased a plan with an 80% reimbursement and a $500 annual deductible. I submitted my first claim for $23 which was processed. However, they don't actually apply the full $23 to the deductible. They take 80% of the $23 ($18 in this example) and apply that to the deductible. So, you actually have to submit $625 in expenses before they begin to pay 80%. In all my years of insurance I've never seen or heard of anyone administering a plan like this. It's incredible deceptive. I reviewed my contract and certificate and nowhere in the documentation does it say that's how it's done. They have every right to administer as they see fit but they should be very clear up front about exactly how this works. It's a $625 deductible you are paying for.

Quick and easy claims process -- excellent customer service!

If my dog needs a procedure, I don't hesitate because of cost because I know I will get a lot of money back through Healthy Paws. It's really great peace of mind! Submitting a claim is incredibly easy and I get my money back through direct deposit. The team has even followed up after a surgery claim to see how my dog was recovering.

Great company, great service, and a quality product.

I've had a couple of claims now and they've both gone super great. They really do cover what they say they'll cover and they don't make you jump through 100 hoops to get what you paid for.
