Does every vet accept pet insurance?
Answered by Melissa Kowalchuk, Trupanion insurance company (http://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com)
Pet insurance works as indemnity insurance, which is a fancy way of saying that the pet owner must front the cost of the veterinary bill. After doing so, the pet owner must submit the bill and necessary paperwork, such as claim forms, to the pet insurance company for reimbursement. Because of this, the veterinarian does not need to “accept” pet insurance, as the relationship is between pet owner and pet insurance company.
