Pets can be full of surprises-so their insurance coverage shouldn’t be. That’s why Trupanion is dedicated to helping pets we love get the care they need. They’ve been around for more than 20 years, making them experts and setting standards for the industry. One perk of this, and what they pride themselves on, is the amount they pay out to pet owners for each claim. Paying out more on the dollar than any other pet insurance provider. To date they have paid out $2 Billion in claims and have insured nearly 1 million pets. Trupanion pets lead longer happier lives.1 Pets insured with Trupanion lived longer than pets without Trupanion because pet parents didn’t have to worry about the cost of the care their pet needed. Depending on the plan Trupanion covers up to 90% of eligible expenses, has unlimited payouts-always, and can pay your vet bill, within seconds, at time of checkout, so all you pay is your portion (anything not covered by Trupanion). They have transformed the way pet insurance handles claims by eliminating the reimbursement process. To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month. 1 Based on a November 2020 internal study analyzing third party hospital claims data comparing pets insured with a Trupanion policy to pets without a Trupanion policy. * Terms and Conditions apply.

Always There Immediately!

Trupanion has become our lifesaver, a reliable best buddy, you name it. My dog Jack has recently had a slew of consecutive health issues that began with seizures late one night. Hospital after hospital, appointments, tests, medications and Trupanion has been there for us through ALL of it. Trupanion approves the claim then pays the hospital directly for their portion, without hesitation. No paperwork for you and no waiting for reimbursement. Don't be fooled thinking you can't afford pet insurance. As a fixed income, retiree, Trupanion's flexibility allows me to choose the cost of the deductible by what I can afford for a monthly premium. There is a plan for every budget.

The used to be the best, I don't believe that's true anymore ......

Been with Trupanion over a decade. For probably 8 years i never had an issue. But over the last few years it's been pretty terrible service. Specifically their claims department. They will blanketly deny claims saying a form is missing or provide some excuse and hope you don't fight back. It's happened several times now. Most recently my claim was denied for not having an itemized invoice attached and they sent me instructions how to download an itemized invoice from chewy. Only problem was THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WAS WAS ATTACHED TO THE CLAIM THEY DENIED! So they denied my claim saying i need to download an itemized invoice from chewy, and attached to that denial was my itemized invoice that i had downloaded from chewy. I called, argued, i provided not a single additional piece of documentation and VIOLA now all of the sudden my claim was magically approved. Wait .... i thought it was missing data? They do this now just blanketly deny claims and hope you don't push back. I just had 3 claims denied. Find a different provider.

Trupanion 1st claim.

Just filed 1st claim with Trupanion pet insurance for our MC. Our kitty is 1 year old as of January this year, our Trupanion insurance is fairly new. So glad we have this insurance, the Trupanion team were wonderful, they paid out our claim minus deductible and special food we purchased. I cannot thank them enough for reviewing and honoring the claim. I would highly recommend Trupanion for anyone who has a pet they wish to insure. The process took only two days after filing our claim online, the process was simple and quick. Our MC is still undergoing up coming specialists appointments for the as of yet, undiagnosed weight loss. Thank you Trupanion for being there.

Claim review breakdown done WRONG

Trupanion’s claim adjusters when reviewing claims for new and existing conditions are done inefficiently and wrongly when to or not to apply customer’s deductible are done incorrectly. I’ve experienced numerous times when I submit claims for my dog’s condition that deductible has already been met, adjuster would “double dip” by applying my deductible for the same condition.

Monthly Cost

Your monthly premium is determined by multiple factors including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, zip code, and the deductible amount you choose if your policy allows.

Coverage

Depending on your plan, the Trupanion policy pays up to 100% of your vet bill for all eligible expenses. There are unlimited payout limits, always and Trupanion will never increase or cancel your coverage because of claims you submit. Coverage includes new accidents and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and much more. Trupanion prides itself on paying out more on the dollar than any other provider and has paid out nearly $2 billion in claims to date.

Payout Limits

The Trupanion policy* has no payout limits, so whether your pet needs one quick visit or a lifetime of care, your coverage won’t quit. That can mean a big difference if your pet develops a chronic condition requiring extended care like allergies, diabetes, or even cancer.

Deductible

If your Trupanion policy has a deductible, you can customize it to fit your budget. You can choose from $50 to $1,000 in increments of $5, or choose to have no deductible at all. Trupanion deductibles are per-condition and good for the life of your pet. That means no annual resets-once a deductible is met, you never have to pay the deductible for that condition again.

Age Limits

All new pets can enroll from birth until their 14th birthday. Once your pet is enrolled, they can be enrolled for life

Waiting Period

Waiting periods vary by state. Please see your states policy for full coverage details. However, other providers may have additional waiting periods for congenital conditions like hip dysplasia, Trupanion does not.

Exclusions

Trupanion was developed to protect you and your pet from unexpected illnesses and injuries. That means we don’t cover “predictable” care costs that you can plan ahead for, like: Examination fees Wellness and preventive care Elective, or cosmetic procedures Sales tax, where applicable Like many other pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! * Terms and Conditions apply. Coverage may vary by state. Not all veterinarians accept direct payment. Ask your veterinarian about Trupanion Vet Direct Pay.
