Very efficient and caring

I don't know how they do it. Their claims process is so efficient, I had my reimbursement before my credit card bill was due. Their claims process is very straightforward, and easy to understand. You have to provide complete medical records from the beginning of ownership of your animal, which your vet should easily be able to provide, and which is required to demonstrate that the current issue was not a preexisting condition. I don't know of a pet insurance that covers preexisting conditions, so this is normal. After that, claims are processed super fast. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. It is very easy to get through to a claims agent if things get stalled, which in my case they did, because I had to round up records from 3 different practices. No big deal. On-hold times are short, and staff is unbelievably caring. They ask how your pet is doing, knowing they are about to become your therapist for a minute. I can't imagine the stories they hear. I am very grateful for this kindness. It helps more than they can possibly know.

I love healthy paws!!

I couldn’t be happier with healthy paws!!! My 3.5 year old dog had a major health emergency that cost thousands. Healthy paws reimbursed me exactly according to my policy quickly (truly within a day or two of submitting a claim) and without any issues. It was such a relief to not worry about cost when I was really worried about my sick pet!

Don't!

This is an awful company. They screw up what's needed for reimbursement, and you have to fight with them for weeks! They have jacked up the prices so much in 4 years, I'd switch if my dogs current conditions would be covered by someone else. I can't stand this company.

Jenny - All premiums are based on the rates and rating rules filed and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. All pet insurance companies, no matter how they market their benefits, will raise rates to keep up with the rapidly rising cost of veterinary care, including specialty and emergency care. We're sorry for any frustration during the processing of your claims. Our customer care team has been in contact with you regarding the issues you have encountered and with an update on your most recent claim. The Healthy Paws Team
