Healthy Paws pet insurance program requires a full nose to tail physical exam of your pet by a licensed veterinarian in order to be eligible for coverage. No additional diagnostic testing such as x-rays or blood work is required. The timeline of this exam will depend on your pet's age at the time of enrollment as follows:
If you recently adopted your pet, you may need to double-check that they have had a physical examination by a licensed veterinarian. Some adoption organizations will have a licensed veterinarian on staff, whereas some don't. We would recommend having your pet seen by your regular licensed veterinarian either prior to enrollment, or during the first 15 days of your policy.
When you file your first claim, we will need a copy of your pet's full medical history, including documentation of the enrollment exam.
