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 a claim
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.
The average claim is settled within 15 days or less. A more complex claim may take longer if we need to contact the vet for more information.
See PHI Direct Policy for complete information on what is covered and what is not.
How making a claim works
You visit the vet
Your pet has become injured or sick and is treated by your veterinarian. Pay your vet for their care and services.
You submit your claim
Scan or take a photo of your statement 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.
*You are reimbursed 80% of the eligible claim amount up to the limit of your coverage, less the $200 deductible (if applicable). Once your annual deductible is satisfied you won’t pay the deductible again for that year.
