Claims & Forms

Reimbursing your claims is a priority at PHI Direct. We will process all Reimbursement Requests – whether simple or complex – as quickly as possible, once we have received all of the required documentation.

Making claims

In order to process any claim, we require the complete medical history/records associated with your pet, which can be emailed to us. Once the claim is processed, we will reimburse you for all eligible costs, less any applicable co-insurance and deductibles based on the coverage outlined in your Policy.

Most claims are processed within 15 business days. A more complex claim may take longer if we need to contact the vet for more information.

You submit your claim

Scan or take a photo of your invoice that details the services provided and send it to us.

You get paid back

You get reimbursed your co-insurance amount less your deductible* - usually within 15 business days.

Preapproval Form

If your vet has provided you with an estimate of a procedure that you would otherwise not receive treatment for, you can submit a preapproval form request to understand if it would be covered prior to proceeding.

If you plan on moving forward with the treatment whether it is covered or not, please go ahead with the procedure and submit the finalized invoice with a regular claim form once you do.
