Veterinary Pet Insurance
Compared to human health care, medical expenses for your pet are still inexpensive. Although it may feel as if you are paying more for your pet’s health care than your own, chances are that you have adequate health care insurance for your own needs. Consequently, you may never see the total bottom-line figure for your own doctor bills. When human health care costs are added up - including insurance, deductibles, and pharmaceutical costs - there is no comparison to the much lower veterinary care costs.
That being said, when faced with unexpected healthcare costs for your pet, even the relatively lower costs can affect your overall budget. Pet insurance is available from several providers to help offset some of those costs.
Different policies are available, but generally, you pay a monthly or annual premium to a pet insurance provider. When your pet incurs a medical expense, you simply file a claim with your insurance provider and they reimburse you up to the allowable amount for that expense category. A variety of factors, including age of your pet and pre-existing medical conditions help determine if pet insurance makes sense for you.

At Blue Ravine Animal Hospital (as at most veterinary hospitals) your insurance does not pay us directly. Rather, you are responsible for payment in full at the time of service. You then submit a claim to your insurance company and receive reimbursement for medical expenses directly from them.
