A straightforward way to use your policy while keeping you in control of the claim.

  1. Confirm your cover with your insurer.
  2. Pay The Dog Physio at the appointment.
  3. Receive the appropriate invoice or receipt.
  4. Submit and manage your own claim.
  5. Your insurer may contact me if further clinical information is needed.
By prior agreement

Direct insurance claims

Direct claims may be considered case by case where the policy and insurer allow them, once the required information and authorisation have been supplied.

  • £25 administration fee for each direct-claim submission.
  • Each direct claim may include no more than six treatment sessions.
  • You remain responsible for any excess, co-payment, excluded treatment, policy-limit shortfall and unpaid or rejected amount.
Please check your own policy. Qualification and RAMP registration do not guarantee that every insurer or policy will provide cover. Veterinary referral or consent is obtained before treatment; veterinary professionals can use the dedicated Refer a Patient route.
