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.

See PHI Direct Policy for complete information on what is covered and what is not.

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.

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.

Please keep in mind the average processing time is around 3 days but can vary depending on the medical records needed.
