I Love Healthy Paws!

[MP_the4pack]

A little background...since 2000 I have had VPI insurance. At that time they were a good (and probably the only) pet insurer. Over the years they got worse and worse. When I adopted Tanzi and Emma in 2011 I had had enough of VPI and looked around at the others that had popped up since 2000. I decided on Healthy Paws.

 

I sent in an email with Tanzi's bills. That was pretty much it. I knew the $40 office visit would not be paid. I also knew that I had 90% coverage. (Deductible was already covered earlier) I was shocked. I got exactly what I thought I was going to get!! 90% of the bill minus $40.

 

I never knew what VPI was going to pay and had many an unpleasant surprise. Often receiving less than 50% of a bill that should have been 80%.

 

Tanzi's stitches aren't even out yet and the HP check is in the mail.

True dat.

My dogs are alive but for the grace of God and Healthy Paws.

I don't have a dog at the moment, but when I do I'm planning to get Healthy Paws.

I'm thrilled with HealthyPaws--submitting a lot of bills lately and they have reimbursed me exactly what I had expected.

This makes me happy to hear! Have Healthy Paws but haven't had to use it yet. Friend had VPI and also had problems.

Exactly, what you said. I am so grateful for what they covered last year.

I've often wished that human insurance was as easy as Healthy Paws! I'm with you on the "knowing exactly what I am going to get back" bit.

To add insult to injury, the last thing I needed with VPI was to pay for Opal's cremation. Her death was traumatic as it was. I sent VPI the information which apparently was good enough to automatically cancel the policy but not good enough for a claim payment. I had to call up and complain when I got the rejection notice. Yes they did eventually pay, but I didn't need that last bit of issue.

I also love healthy paws. I actually took a picture of the receipt while I was still checking out at the vet's office and sent it in via their app. I had a notice of full payment within a few hours and I got the check two days later in the mail. Such a great experience.

Healthy Paws always covers submitted claims without a fuss. Submitting via the smart phone app is easy. I have noticed over the summer, though, that the company is taking longer to pay claims and pretty much my claims are the same: monthly submissions of two medicines Annie's been taking for over a year, so there is no need for claims to be held up. This new "time lag" isn't a problem but it does make me wonder if the company is having financial difficulties.

I have yet to get pet insurance, but if this whole thing with our new Lovie works out-we will definitely be jumping on board. No way could we afford 2 giant e-vet bills in full if it came down to it. Good to know which company to go with!
