Misleading deductibles

When you start running the numbers, you will realize that you were paying far m ore than 20% deductible. Great example ER visit 437. They do not cover the ER charge which was 195. Which means my actual deductible was almost 50%, not 20%. They do not cover vet fees or ER fees. This is a workaround to not actually tell you exactly what they charge as a deductible. It's a dishonest practice. And I would stay as far away from healthy paws as I could. Unfortunately I've had them for 4 years and my dog is seven. So going somewhere else is going to be costly but I truly dislike deceptive trade practice.

I’ve had Healthy Paws insurance 10…

I’ve had Healthy Paws insurance 10 years for my dogs. It has been extremely “user friendly” for filing claims (takes me just a couple minutes online), has never given me a claim judgment that was not fair, and has seamlessly covered even very expensive conditions such as autoimmune disease, chronic gastrointestinal problems, eye issues, injuries, and complex surgeries including multiple mass removals and biopsies, correction of a spinal ("corkscrew" tail joint) malformation, severe malocclusion improvement (Boston Terrier, need I say more?), and more. I've had other insurances in the past that presented constant frustration regarding claims, but Healthy Paws has made my dogs' health care so much easier and less expensive. As a senior, I daily appreciate that I can adopt dogs and not worry about future costly health issues affecting their care. Also, kudos to HP for promoting pet rescue and really meaning it!

Great Company. Love the website!

Filing a claim is simple and the web site is very "user friendly" with clear and easy-to-understand information. They processed the claim for our dog's knee surgery promptly and reimbursement followed soon after. They even followed up with an email to see how she was doing after her surgery!
