Pet Insurance At Wicstun Vets
Do I Need Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance can assist you with the costs of treating your pet should they sustain an injury or become unwell.
A good quality policy can also help you to cover the costs of expensive specialist treatment, in turn opening up the care options available to you.
As such, we would recommend a good quality, pet insurance policy.
Is Pet Insurance The Same As A Health Plan?
No, your Healthplan is designed to offer you significant savings on the types of preventative care that are typically not covered by a pet insurance policy.
The Healthplan will help you to diarise important dates such as vaccination due dates and parasite treatments, ensuring your pet is protected all year around.
Can I Have A Pet Insurance Policy And A Health Plan?
Absolutely, they are two completely different products.
When Should I Take Out Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance policies may not cover your pet for pre-existing conditions. These are conditions that exist prior to the start date of the policy.
Taking out a good quality pet insurance policy while your pet is in good health should reduce the risk of any potential policy exclusions.
Claiming
There are two ways to claim on your pet insurance – direct and non-direct claims. Wicstun Vets will help you to process a non-direct claim. This means that you pay for treatment at the time and we will help complete a claim form for you.
Once your insurance provider has assessed your claim for you, they will send any reimbursement directly to you.
In exceptional circumstances a direct claim may be possible, however authorisation will be required and we would ask you to contact us directly to discuss any such request with the management team.
Equine Insurance
Taking out a good quality equine insurance policy is just as important for your horses and ponies.
Do We Recommend A Particular Insurance Provider?
We are a Vetsure-accredited practice and, as such, promote the Vetsure range of pet insurance products. As a recognised practice we benefit from active communication channels with the Vetsure team. This means that we can obtain pre-authorisation prior to starting treatment and can help make the claim process as easy as possible.
Furthermore, as a fully accredited Vetsure practice we can offer our clients 5 weeks cover free of charge. Simply choose whichever level of cover you are interested in taking out and get the first 5 weeks free. If you’re happy, your cover will continue seamlessly!
