All claims require two things: your pet’s medical records (exam notes, lab results and any other checkup information) and a paid itemized invoice from your vet (a detailed paid bill tied to your claim).
From your account in our mobile app or the member portal on our website, you can easily file a claim and check the status of an existing claim.
Your claim will be assigned to an agent within 24 hours. Once approved, we’ll let you know how much you’ll be reimbursed and start processing your payment. If your claim is denied, we’ll let you know why.

You need two things to submit a claim: your pet’s medical records and any invoices tied to your claim. Here’s a quick breakdown of each document and how to get them, so your submission process is smooth and easy.
Your pet’s medical records are a report of their yearly wellness checkups (this includes exam notes, lab results and any medical information) and a history of previous diagnosis and vaccination records. It’s not the records of the treatment tied to your invoice.

Not sure how to submit your pet’s medical records or a paid invoice?
We’ve got you.
You should have a message from us letting you know exactly what documents are missing from your claim (typically your pet’s medical records or your paid itemized invoice). Make sure you're email address is up to date to ensure you receive all the claims notifications
If you don’t have the missing documents, call or email your vet and have them email you copies. You can then download those documents from your email and upload them to your existing claim in your online account or our app. Do not open a new claim for these documents.
Once you submit the missing documents, we'll take a look and send you a confirmation email to let you know that we received your missing documents. We’ll send you an additional note if we’re still missing important information. When we have everything, your claim will be processed in about 15 days.

your reimbursement.
Let’s say you have a policy with a 90% reimbursement rate and a $200 deductible...
After taking your pup to the vet for an illness, you pay a $600 bill.

90% reimbursement rate
$540
—
$200 deductible
$340
A 90% reimbursement level brings the bill to $540 reimbursement.
A $200 deductible, with the full amount remaining, would bring your reimbursement to $340. But, if the deductible was already met, the reimbursement would be $540.
