Thank You healthy Paws

Unfortunately my dog at a foreign object and needed major surgery. My wife and I were worried about the coverage and maybe getting push back from insurance company, But in a matter of a few days i got approval from them on the medical bills no question asked. It was great as we shifted our focus on our beautiful dog's recovery. Thank you Healthy Paws! Highly recommended!

Total Scam

Sent in a Claim with all the SOAP NOTES and Receipts from Vet and they Claim everything was Blurry and they could not read Charges or Dates of Service. So I Wrote down the Dates and Charges showing a Breakdown of everything and they Claim once you file a Claim and if they do not receive the correct paperwork in a Timely Manner the Claim will be Denied. As I said All SOAP NOTES AND RECEIPTS WERE sent as well as a Handwritten Breakdown of all SERVICES RENDERED for my puppy and I Kept getting a Response that Everything was Blurry. Total Scam.And after this First Experience I Canceled their Service.

One claim, premiums increased

We submitted one claim through healthy pet insurance earlier this year. Once the claim was resolved, which they did pay, they increased our rates by about 40%. Now, three months later I get our renewal with another substantial increase. From prior to the claim to now, the premium has almost doubled. I disputed this with customer service and was ghosted. There are lots of other better pet health insurance policies out there.

Regarding the premium increase you mentioned our customer care team explained via emails that your pet was enrolled as a certain breed. Though we rely on the information provided by anyone enrolling a pet, we understand mistakes may be made. During a routine audit of your pet's medical records, a breed correction was made. To ensure accuracy and compliance with insurance regulations, we needed to update the premium. Charging premiums based on accurate pet details allows us to provide our features and benefits with no annual or lifetime caps. The second increase was an annual premium adjustment that takes place on your policy anniversary date. Your premiums are calculated on a state-by-state basis in accordance with filings that have been approved by state insurance regulators. In each state, premiums are affected by multiple factors including age, breed, sex, zip code, and the particular combination of reimbursement and deductible on a plan.

Healthy Paws Saved Bennet's Life

Our policy with Healthy Paws enabled us to provide a life saving surgery for our fur baby Bennet. Words can't express how grateful we are to Healthy Paws and their fantastic team for keeping him with us for many years to come! Claims are easy to file and paid quickly via direct deposit for covered illness and injury care including testing costs and medications. Bennet is our second covered fur baby to be covered by Healthy Paws and I recommend this to everyone I know who welcomes a pet into their home.

Worth the Investment!!

We have been customers since our two fur babies were puppies (about 9 years now). While we didn't use Healthy Paws much when they were little, they have proven to be an invaluable partner in their golden years. One of our girls recently had to have major surgery and developed a heart issue. Having Healthy Paws made it so that we didn't have to choose between our pup's health and a major bill we couldn't afford. They are very transparent with their policies, which made it easy to understand what would be covered for reimbursement and are very quick to review and fulfill claims. Their customer service team is very responsive and even took the time to send a "Get well soon" message after we filed our recent claim for the surgery costs. Little things like that are huge and pretty much unheard of when dealing with an insurance company. We can't recommend Healthy Paws enough.
