Pet insurance: claim management processing

Pet insurance: claim management processing

Abto Software has delivered custom applications that facilitate pet insurance and health coverage monitoring in the United States where conscious pet ownership is rapidly gaining momentum.

The project we covered was aimed at making pet insurance more straightforward for owners and businesses. The features include coverage for illnesses, wellness care, and accidents, as well as some optional add-ons – dental coverage, and other alternative therapies.

The implemented claim management processing functionality is another important feature worth mentioning. The designed claim system enables owners to file and businesses to process and reimburse eligible litigations.

Claim management processing solution: quick dive-in

Most people experience difficulties with independent claim filing and management, as such bureaucratic affairs come with multiple nuances – document review, payment handling, and further claim submission and tracking. Our solution is designed to streamline these processes to benefit both end-users and businesses that provide pet insurance to reimburse veterinary care.

The concept is simple:

  • The owner first visits the website of the insurance company to study the available insurance options – the levels of coverage, eligibility requirements, and pricing
  • The owner then uses the platform to manage the policy, which includes
    • Policy document review
    • Payment information management
    • Claim tracking
  • In case of illnesses or accidents, the owner contacts the veterinary office
  • After receiving necessary treatment, the owner can submit the claim to the insurance company through the easy-to-navigate platform
Claim management processing – new claim submition

The employees on the vendor’s side review the claim submitted and determine its eligibility for reimbursement – if it gets approved, the customer receives reimbursement for the spent funds.
