they did what they said they would!
A few close friends got together to celebrate one of our birthdays. What was a delightful and casual little get together became my worst nightmare when a balloon popped and startled my new affenpinscher pup. She jumped off my lap and broke her arm. I scooped her up as quickly as I could and rushed to the emergency vet. My poor girl was in so much pain and I was so disappointed in myself that I could let something like this happen to her. Luckily the emergency vet we took her to is AMAZING and super compassionate which eased my stress, but they can't waive a 6k bill when your puppy breaks two bones and needs surgery to insert a plate and screws into her tiny arm. I put it on my credit card and started to panic thinking I didn't "do my pet insurance right"... Are there prerequisites that I didn't meet? Will this not be covered?
I submitted my claim through their website via the claims portal. I received some emails that I needed to provide medical records. I provided everything I had, but they asked for more. I started to panic more that this expensive event wouldn't be covered, but after submitting everything I had, I emailed and said that she was a puppy and had only been to the vet a few times. I received a nice email back saying she would let the claims department know. After that, I received an email that my claim was being processed and a few days later I had $4000 in my bank account. I couldn't believe it, but they covered every single thing they said they would. Honestly I wish my health insurance was this clear and easy. I have recommended healthy paws to everyone I know with a pet. I am incredibly happy that they were there for me in a really stressful time.
