Paw Protect vs Healthy Paws: Claims process

Paw Protect offers an optional $2,000 interest-free line of credit from Paytient to pay covered vet bills* up-front, via a virtual Paytient Visa card on your phone.

If approved for Paytient, and if your bill is under $2,000 – and most are – you don’t have to pay a cent up front. You’ll need to pay anything over $2,000 up-front, but you’ll be reimbursed a few days later for any covered condition, less your deductible and copay. 

  • The claims process is simple, like regular insurance
  • Submit the claim paperwork via our app, online, by email or through the mail
  • Use your reimbursement to pay down your Paytient balance and pay off any remaining out-of-pocket costs over up to 12 months interest-free

With Healthy Paws, you pay up front out of your own pocket, photograph your vet bill, and submit it through a mobile app or online. In some situations, Healthy Paws might be able to pay your vet directly, although the paperwork required could cause a crucial delay to treatment.
