Pet insurance

Did you know 1 in 3 pets may require unexpected veterinary treatment each year?* Whilst advances in veterinary medicine mean we can do more for your pet, treatment costs can soon mount up. We recommend Petplan insurance to all our clients to help cover unexpected vets bills.

You may be surprised to hear that you are more likely to claim on your pet insurance than your car or household policies (Allianz Insurance plc). In fact, in our experience if you are one of the few people who don’t need to claim on your pet insurance you really are very lucky indeed!

It’s important to be aware that not all pet insurance is the same. Some policies limit the amount of time or money that you can claim for. Don’t just shop around on price alone.

At Beechwood Veterinary Group we recommend Petplan insurance for the following reasons:

• With Petplan’s Covered for Life guarantee your veterinary fees cover is renewed each year no matter how much you claim.
• Petplan doesn’t place exclusions at renewal on their Covered for Life policy so on-going conditions such as eczema continue to be covered by the policy.
• Petplan won’t increase your premium or excess just because you make a claim.
• Petplan is a pet insurance specialist so they understand the animal market and work closely with vets, charities and breeders.

Insurance processing at BVG

Insurance Office

Run by Lynn Jones, Ruth Skidmore, Deborah Bellars & Kirsty Bennett, our excellent team work tirelessly on behalf of clients to process their paperwork to recover the cost of treatment from their insurance policies. It is often possible for us to directly claim the cost of treatment from clients' insurance companies, meaning that our clients are not out of pocket while their pets are undergoing treatment.

This direct claim facility means that our clients can be admitted for treatment, which they often urgently require, without worrying about having cash available to meet the costs.

Clients are required to produce an original current insurance certificate, policy documents and details of previous medical history before we can undertake a direct claim.

If clients are unsure whether a condition or treatment is covered by their policy they should contact their insurance company direct, as failed direct claims are due for immediate settlement by the client. Also please bear in mind that an insurance policy is strictly between the insurance company and the policy holder and as a third party, insurance companies will not discuss any aspect of a client’s policy with us.
