Better Policy Practices

I have been a customer since 2020 and was extremely upset after hearing there was no other way to lower my pet insurance. Then when I inquired about canceling I found out the only reimbursement I would receive is $84.00. I put over $4, 000 into this insurance policy and to know that I will only receive 84.00 back is disheartening. Please update your policies and how you can financially support pet owners better. Reply to @HealthyPaw: Thank you for responding, I was told the same information on the phone. It would be financially unreasonable for me to continue with this insurance. $500 deductible and 70% coverage. Your response will help other dog owners make an informed decision.

BUYER BEWARE

BUYER BEWARE! READ THE FINE PRINT! Healthy Paws will hide behind its policies to deny claims, no matter how unreasonable and despite letters from veterinarians to the contrary. But they are very happy to take your premium payments for many years. Shameful.

BUYER BEWARE

BUYER BEWARE! READ THE FINE PRINT! Healthy Paws will hide behind its policies to deny claims, no matter how unreasonable and despite letters from veterinarians to the contrary. But they are very happy to take your premium payments for many years. One short email from them requesting initial medical records as a gating item would have saved me thousands of dollars. Shameful.

We're sorry you were not satisfied with your plan. We do our best to be transparent throughout our website, during the enrollment process, and in the plan documents available to each client in their online Healthy Paws account regarding the limited exclusions of our plan. Those exclusions are pre-existing conditions, preventative/routine care, and the office visit fee (veterinary exam fee). Anyone visiting our website can see this information under our "Frequently Asked Questions" and in the sample plan. As per the plan we do require medical records for all enrolled pets to process claims, including a copy of the required enrollment examination. In situations where there is not a ton of medical history available, at minimum we require the notes from the enrollment exam as outlined in your plan documents to process claims. Based upon the medical records for your pet, we could not provide coverage for the claims in question due to it falling into one of the limited plan exclusions.

So Disappointed in this company. We thought they were great.

So Disappointed in this company. We had the insurance for both our dogs for at least 6 years. We were very happy with the coverage and I recommended the company to all of our friends as a great option to manage the cost of pets. They are sadly not the company I thought. We had a credit card issue which necessitated a change in credit card number to make a long story short, the autopay failed fell through the cracks for December and January. While they had our mailing address, and my phone number, they chose to quietly send a notification only to a very old email address (we've had coverage a long time), and then quickly cancel my policy. When I called to correct the issue ($50 overdue for a month) and reinstate my account, which we've paid religiously every month prior to this issue for 6+ years, they claim they can neither reinstate, or give me a new policy with the same rate. Probably surprising to nobody the new rate has more than DOUBLED. I will not be renewing with this company because this behavior is so greedy/scammy and a really crappy way to treat loyal customers.

They covered a surgery - no hassle

It's very easy to submit claims They review the claims in a few days When my dog needed $1,100 surgery, they covered $800 of it, which is more than my annual premium. So it's worked out really well
