healthy paws is just a scam
healthy paws is just a scam
do not trust them. they will take your money for years and then once you have a problem make it impossible to get a reinbursment. you only see how dishonest and deceiving this health insurance is when you file your first claim! even if your dog is super healthy and it is 100% obvious the problem was just an accident.
dont fall for this scam.
This review is not about the deductible, it is about filing claims and suddenly finding out how they operate.
Healthy Paws should request ALL the medical records and information they need and make sure that your dog will eventually be eligible for claims BEFORE starting charging you. Two different healthy paws representatives told us over the phone that the records that they requested when we suscribed and they “accepted” our dog were actually not ENOUGH and that they only really check your eligibility AFTER you submit your first claim!!! What?? This means that if your dog is ok, you can pay them for YEARS before you actually find out that your dog might not be eligible after all! Even if they end up accepting this specific claim I think this is very DISHONEST. Apparently this is written somewhere in that very long contact they sent us (of course…) As you can read in other reviews here and in their app, you only find out how things are when you have a claim. They charge you for years but then they need to check if you are “really eligible”. WTH???

Marcela, As per the policy we do require full medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims. Once full records are received (typically we ask for them when you file your first few claims) we will keep them on file for future claims processing and you will never have to submit full records again. In the future, if we do need clarification for a specific claim, we may simply request the date of service exam notes for that visit. We appreciate your efforts in providing those records. Your recent claim was covered in its entirety with the exception of the exam fee, which are excluded by your plan. Covered items were applied towards your chosen deductible. As with any plan that has an annual deductible, that must be satisfied before any reimbursements can occur. The Healthy Paws Team
