Stay Away
I have had my dogs covered with Healthy Paws since 2016. One of my dogs passed away in November 2020 and the claims were paid promptly and easily...which is what I expected given this company's reputation.
My other dog who was also covered since 2016 had some growths which needed to be removed and were later diagnosed as cancerous. I submitted the medical records and received confirmation the claim was being looked at. I was giving it extra time given that things have been moving slowly due to the pandemic.
Imagine my surprise when I received a notice stating the claim was denied and closed because of missing medical records? I have no record in my email or spam of them notifying me that more records were needed. I eventually found something in the messages folder of my Healthy Paws account.
I sent all the records I had from 2013 to present to appeals and didn't hear anything. I then spoke with someone in customer service who confirmed they received the records but was confused since some of the pages came through upside down...but, she confirmed that it was being worked on.
Weeks went by and still, I heard nothing so I called again. This time, the customer service rep was confused since all the records were there. He was able to open the file without a problem and he assured me it would be processed.
Another 30 days went by. I heard nothing so I called again. This time I was told that the claim was denied because the appeals person couldn't open the attached files. The same files that the previous rep was able to open and look at.
This rep set up a level 3 appeal and told me if I didn't hear back in 5 days to call back...which I did today.
I had to start all over again with today's rep and according to him, I have to wait until September 13 before following up again.
To add insult to injury, I received a notice of a rate increase. Are you kidding me right now?
Stay away from this company. The customer service reps are very nice people but they have no authority to actually get things done...and the people that do have the authority don't seem to care.
