Want to increase your claim turnaround time?

We have highlighted some of the main pitfalls insurers face when handling claims. We have therefore, come up with a handy list of things you can do to help move the claims process along:

Signatures

Ensure the policy holder’s and/or the treating Vet’s signature is obtained on paper claim forms. OR use our new e-claims system and we can identify you immediately!

Date

Ensure the policy holder signs and dates their section of the claim form AFTER the treatment has taken place.

OR use our new e-claims system and we’ll collect an e-signature for you!

Clinical history

All new claims require an accompanying full clinical history starting from the date the pet was registered with you. For continuation claims, only the relevant history is required.

Invoices

Ensure all claims are accompanied by a fully itemised invoice which spans the treatment dates of the claim.

Practice stamp

The quickest way to provide an insurer with your details is using a practice stamp. If this has gone walk-about please complete the full address and contact details. OR use our new e-claims system and we can identify you immediately!

If applicable

Claims exceeding £1000

If the treatment is not an emergency then  you can submit a pre-authorisation to avoid disappointment, this will tell you if we are able to cover the condition being treated.

Treatment provided by another supplier

Should your client’s pet require treatment at an external provider a separate claim form is required for this treatment. Ensure this is signed by the treating practitioner, you are NOT able to submit claims on behalf of another practice/supplier.
