Pet insurance claim checklist 

To help us process your claim quickly, make sure you have completed these steps: 

  • The claim form is fully completed. 
  • Include itemised receipts, vet consultation notes all other relevant supporting documentation. 
  • Make sure you are not claiming for items not covered by your certificate of insurance. These can include, but not limited to, routine and preventative treatment (teeth cleaning, worming, desexing and vaccinations), pre-existing conditions, and any illness that occurred within your waiting period. 
  • Check the policy excess amount. 
  • Keep all copies and documentation for claims for your records. 

 

 

 

Processing and payment 

Once your claim is processed, you will receive an email to notify you of the outcome.  

If your claim is successful, you can be paid in a choice of three ways. 

  1. Credit into your bank account that your monthly premium is direct debited from. 

  1. Credit into the bank account nominated on the claims form at the time of submission. 

  1. Paid directly to your vet. Please note, we will not pay your vet unless it has been previously agreed with them to do so.
